My children and I are big American Idol fans. It is a highlight of our evenings when we can watch these kids sing their hearts out and hear what Simon has to say. So I eagerly awaited Simon Cowell’s new show tonight, American Inventor. This was billed as American Idol for Entrepreneurs. The judges (including a favorite of mine, Doug Hall) see 1000 people, choose 100 then widdle it down to 9. Each then gets $50,000 to improve their idea. The winner (decided by America of course) gets $1M.
I was mixed on the first show. The inventions were interesting to hear, but I felt at times the show tried to hard to mimic American Idol. The passion and emotions seemed abit forced in some areas. It will be interesting to see how the show develops.
What did you think?
PS: Today, St Patty’s Day is my mom’s 70th birthday. I know she always reads my blog because even after 40 some odd years, she still corrects my spelling mistakes :-) She also says its the best way to keep up with what I am doing since she lives 1,000 miles away. Happy Birthday, Mom. You done good with me.
