American Inventor: Tonight 8 PM (EST) on ABC

03/16/2006 9:07 AM

Add inventors to the long list of reality show contestants competing for a grand prize. Tonight at 8:00 PM (EST), ABC will premiere American Inventor , where contestants will demonstrate their inventions to a panel of three who will determine which invention has the greatest consumer appeal. The eventual winner will receive $1 million (USD). If you think the format sounds familiar, it is...American Inventor is brought to you by Simon Cowell and the producers of American Idol. I plan to watch, but I don't have very high hopes.

Not to be outdone, The History Channel will rebroadcast How William Shatner Changed the World at the same time.

American inverters night on ABC

Our ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) has had a show "The Inventors" for generations. Try abc.net.au/inventors. It is quite good usually. Another good one they have from time to time is "Inventions from the Shed", it's even better.

Your low expectations have been met. Lots of time for the losers. Acceptance for a solar panel stuck on a cooler? The judges are looking for a good [bad] pitch. Garth

I made it through about 20 minutes before flipping over to the NCAA Tourney.

I watched the whole thing, but was disappointed in the focus being on the wackos, and not on the work that went in to some of the more legitimate ideas. That's what happens when they try to please everybody-ratings, ratings, ratings!
