American Inventor

Who is going to watch This on ABC tonight at 9/8c?? I am looking forward to this, granted its produced by the same producers as "American Idol" it looks rather educational. What are your thoughts?

Re: American Inventor

Ahh, thanks for the heads up i was interested int that when i first saw the commercial. I'm sure to keep that time frame open and get to it. It does look educational and I'm just waiting for myself to invent something.

Re: American Inventor

I honestly thought it was a great idea as a show, I mean I will watch it but honestly there isn’t that big of a market for that kind of stuff. Even the Discovery Channel jazzes up their shows because a lot of people think they are boring… I don’t like the jazzing but I mean I am a small market… I also watch the History channel… Now I also love cartoons, anime, and CSI so don’t think I just watch EDTV.

Re: American Inventor

I believe this should be moved to like the chit-chat thread but I may be mistaken.
either way, I think the show looks interesting.

This looks really interesting. I dont think I will be home in time to watch it though. At least not all of it. Thanks for bringing it to my attention though.

From my experience TV producers almost never get things right. I will watch it tonight, with a grain of salt right next to the remote :^)

Three of the four judges do not have a technical background. I predict an electric dogwasher will win.

Re: American Inventor

See my views on it are: Yes we are getting sucked into another reality show...However, this show seems to actually stimulate our minds rather than to numb us by drama and music. All the other reality shows you know are not "reality" there is so much that goes on behind the scenes that is scripted. This show, albeit scripted, is way more rewarding then watching people sing.

Re: American Inventor

How come when I click on the link its says its on:

THURSDAYS 9/8c

and then right below it says:

NEXT EPISODE: PREMIERE MARCH 16TH at 8/7c (tonight)

?!

those are suppose to be times, right? Not degrees Celsius?

What time is it really on tonight?

Re: American Inventor

Agh! BAD LINES!
DRAMA!
Judges without technical knowledge!

The opening sequence already turned me away, hopefully they can do better.
