American In(What)er?

This evening I watched American Inventor, the new show by Simon Cowell on ABC. It’s like American Idol without the singers, but with inventors….Some of the inventions (Workout in a backpack) were great ideas…The “Tizzie” Tube was a BAD idea….some of the “Toilet” inventions were both interesting and completely disgusting….(where do they get these people?)
  The funny thing is we already have judges with perfect etiquette and two that are acting like Simon and Paula. Still have the last 30 minutes to go….All this for a million dollars toward your invention…..hey, at least it’s entertaining…some of these people are so serious about how great their invention is, when the judges say no, they are completely devastated…there have been a few that even surprised me with a few yes and go through to the next round (contestants need 3 of the 4 judges to say yes).
  The four judges are “experts” in their respective Inventing fields, and there is a “Brit” in the group….(I’m sure Simon had something to do with that.) Again, it was entertaining to watch….JP
