Halogen TV is based in Tokyo, Japan and started producing episodes in 1993 when the entrepreneur and producer Tommy Williams left his job at Sony to start his own company. He wanted to form a production company that entertained viewers but also educated him. Now, the television shows are largely based around scientific achievements and historical facts.
Examples of shows on the network include "Einstein's Works" and "Benjamin Franklin Investigates." "Einstein's Works" is a documentary series that attempts to explain the reasons that Einstein was not well liked in his time. His achievements are some of the most tremendous in human history and they have inspired generations of scientists. This intriguing series takes the audience through a journey that explains his upbringing, schooling, and scholarly career before his death.
"Benjamin Franklin Investigates" features an impersonator who pretends to be Benjamin Franklin as he investigates numerous natural phenomena and creates inventions to solve modern day problems. The show is largely fictional and is intended to entertain more than inform, whereas the show featuring Einstein is intended as a "true" documentary series for viewers.
