I thought it was pretty good. It's great when you have DVR and can fast forward through all the freakin commercials. Kinda makes those reality shows bearable to watch. It was funny watchin that black jacked CO cry.

I liked it when the lady figured out she was screwed out of $7000 by those invention companies on TV. That look on her face was priceless. )

Yeah, that was hilarious.
Lady "I called the 800 number from the commercial and sent them $7000"
Panel Guy "They just screwed you out of $7000, dumbass" (not exact wording of course ))

Geez...the lengths to which some people will go roll
That lady who thought those blow-up thingies for children "Tizzy Tots" or whatever. liSighli "but I'm a psycologist" cry lol

That is the perfect product. Think about how many kids and adults would want to make one of those. The could be themed for holidays, special occasions/events, etc. So simple. The marketing potential of them is tremendous. I seriously wish I could have thought of something like that because I bet they are going to end up making a truckload of money for that women who thought of them.

I thought it would have been better. Honestly the only one that made any sense was the weight bag. Even that one was kind of shitty.

Yeah, they had a series a few months ago on the USA network that was a better invention show. I don't think this one will be much good, but I will watch it anyway because I am a reality show junkie... (

Oh, and that tizzy thing scared the crap out of me... It was wrong on so many levels... It reminded me of just putting kids in straight jackets and letting them run into each other. Not to mention that if you are using them for a punishment device, you shouldn't also use them for play time... That woman is gonna have some messed up kids... They will never be able to get into a pool because the floating raft thing will bring back painful childhood memories of the tizzy tube... lishudderli

I saw the last ten minutes of it. I was very intrigued, until the stupid 14 year old boy that looked 11 started crying. He was saying corny things like "Youre making a mistake, I'll be an inventor some day" I cant stand stupid kids like that, the ones that believe their parents when they say "Anything is possible"

Yeah, that kid was annoying. Lots of the contestants try to use some sort of "guilt trip" to get their invention some attention (hehe I rhymed). "I'm a little nerdy boy", "I'm a mom of 3", "I've spent my entire life savings", "I have a terminal illness", "Feel sorry for me"...blah blah blah.

"So what you're saying is that you've invented sleeves..."

"Did you invent a stick?"
"It's a wand."

Classic. )
