Saturday, 18 March 2006 American Inventor : Some Good and Some Bad I am a big fan of inventor shows.  We are addicited to The New Inventors on the ABC and we also loved a UK show on Discovery Channel called ” What’s the Big Idea? ”, which featured British Inventors and super model presentors So, when I heard about a new reality TV show which featured inventors and their inventions that was being made in the US which became known as American Inventor , I thought to myself that I could be interesting. I followed stories online of people attending audiitons - American Inventor - Reality TV meets Makers, “American Inventor” audition account by a Boing Boing reader, American Inventor: An auditioner’s account, American Inventors - A blog by an inventor for inventors! , and the excitement was building.  I even spotted a teaser TV ad online Well, the show premiered in the US this week , and by all accounts it sounds great . There’s even a Live blog, full recap on Make , with pictures. Over at TV Squad , they even propose ” the American Inventor drinking game! Everytime someone says the word “dream,” take a shot of booze .” I had to watch if for myself , and you know, it was good. I was hooked. First time I’ve enjoyed a Reality TV program. I wonder which local network will pick it up? Since it’s on ABC, I guess The Nine Network will grab it 2:28:16 PM comment [ ] trackback [ ] G! • TV © Copyright 2006 Frank Arrigo.
