I watched the show last night Wed. July 25th 2007. One of the inventions that was let go was called the claw. It was my favorite. I would have bought one or more if they put it on the market. The judges couldn’t see past the idea of it being only for holding a bike(which is brilliant in itself), but I imagined many uses for it just while watching them demonstrate it and thought it was very marketable. They felt there were not enough people who rode a bike and would use it. I would have possibly used it for a porch swing, step ladder, my kids sleds, hose, clothes drying rack(to hang it out of the way), folding chairs/lawn chair/beach chairs, and of course all four of our bikes. I liked the easyness of being able to get the items down and how a child can use it too. Well I guess we’ll never know now. It is too bad the show doesn’t have an email or comment line. Thanks!

Well, last night I saw the lady with the “pillow” for “the girls”… a place to rest her augmented breasts while sleeping… only to be shut out. Okay, I admit it could have been better.. the holes could have been round instead of square ( are implants square? I’m not sure haha) Another way she could have been guaranteed 3 votes was to have a smaller version for “the boys”… none of those three male judges would have wanted to admit on national television that they didn’t need one! HAHAHA

I am a 56 year old grandmother who has been babysitting my 4yr. old grandson since he was 4 months old. I am very active with play group and day school and can tell you without a doubt you missed the boat when you turned away the young inventor who came up with the idea of putting wipes on the outside of disposable diapers. Your judges are not in tune with young moms and grandmothers who take care of children. I cannot tell you how many times I could of used that wipe when changing my grandson. I asked the moms in our play group what they thought of that idea and they all agreed it is a great idea and wished they had thought of it. You really need to reconsider this young mans idea, better yet ask some young mothers what they think of that idea you just might be surprised!!

Well I agree with most of the things that you have said. And I do agree about the $50,000 thing. But I dont agree with the whole judge thing. True that he was the only inventor but the other judges had more to say and he did poor judging on some of them. Also the kid was a good idea to make him go home but I agree with the advice thing. Also I think they named it American Inventor because that sounds better then American Invention. Plus it wouldent be an invention without the inventor so you have to give them props for that.

I enjoyed it although it was a bit redundant at times. I really wasn’t interested in seeing the judges meet their families

[...] Despite my initial disappointment after the premier I have to say it’s been enjoyable watching the inventors grow. That’s the bright side, but after suffering through the laborious and repetitive rehashing of some of the inventions that didn’t make it and back-story of the ones that did I still maintain they could do better.
