Destroy Build Destroy was a live action program on Cartoon Network. It focuses on an unusual type of a Game show, where two teams destroy a random object and build vehicles out of them, and then destroy the losers' creation. It airs Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 and 9:00 P.M. The series was horribly panned by critics and audiences for its place on Cartoon Network.
Premise
Destroy Build Destroy is a game show hosted by musician Andrew W.K. in which two groups (a "green or blue" team and an "orange or yellow" team, usually grouped by theme such as common interests) of three teenage contestants get to destroy various objects, then build vehicles out of the wreckage. The show features high powered explosives, rocket launchers, bazookas, and other destructive tools. The winning team gets $3,000 ($1,000 dollars each) as a prize, the losers' creation then gets destroyed by the team of the winning vehicle.[1]
