Catch It Keep It was a popular science television show that aired on the Science Channel from 2009. The show, which featured three hosts Zach Selwyn, Mike Senese, and Zach Swerdzewski, was focused on an exciting and entertaining concept of testing the capabilities of human inventiveness and engineering skills.

The show's format was simple, yet engaging. Teams of contestants were given a task to invent a device or machine within a set amount of time. The machine had to pass several tests before being deemed successful. If a team's invention could withstand the pressure and the tasks, the team won a prize, which was a treasure that could be traded in for cash.

The tasks were designed to test the machines' abilities and included activities like a high-speed rollercoaster, a 60-feet drop, and a grand finale where the machine had to carry the weight of a boat, a car, or an airplane. The contestants had to use their engineering, design, and creative skills to create a machine that could handle the pressure and pass the tests.

The judges of the show were Mark Setrakian, the creator of mechanical creatures for movies such as The Matrix and Men in Black, and Adam Savage from the popular TV show, MythBusters. The judges assessed the machines' performance, durability, and safety, and gave approval or disapproval based on those criteria.

The show was exciting and entertaining for viewers who love to watch innovation, science, and creativity in action. It is not every day that you get to see an airplane in a high-speed crash helmet, or a mechanical spider walking on water, or a robot that catapults a car. The tasks tested the contestants' scientific knowledge, engineering skills, and creativity, which was not only entertaining but also educational.

The hosts of the show also added a lot of fun to the show. Zach Selwyn was the main host and acted as the mediator between the contestants and the judges. He made sure the contestants understood the tasks and provided a light-hearted commentary on the inventions. Mike Senese and Zach Swerdzewski were the scientists and engineers who provided technical knowledge and assistance to the contestants.

One of the most impressive things about the show was the amount of resources that the contestants had to create their machines. They were given access to a vast selection of tools, materials, and equipment, which they used to build their creations. The contestants were incredibly talented and creative, and the machines they created were awe-inspiring.

The show's cinematography was also impressive. The machines were filmed in detail, and the viewers could see every bolt, wire, and screw in the creations. The cameras captured every moment of the action and brought the viewers close to the excitement.

Catch It Keep It was a unique and exciting science TV show that entertained and educated viewers. It was a show about science, creativity, engineering, and innovation wrapped in an entertaining and engaging package. The contestants showed that with hard work, creativity, and a lot of resources, you can create anything your mind can imagine.
