Our 12 year old son has been looking forward to American Inventor since he first saw the previews for it back in January. It was very disappointing to us that last night’s series premiere was not very child friendly, at least several portions of it (particularly at the beginning). Fortunately, we were able to record it, preview it, and fast forward through the inappropriate sections.

Our son was very disappointed that the 14 year old didn’t make it through. Personally, I thought his invention was better than the “pit bowl”. But I don’t make the decisions.

I thought there were several inventions that just should have been marketed differently. Too bad I can’t contact the “losers”, personally and share my ideas. But if there are any eliminated American Inventors out there who want my opinion on your product, drop me a note. I’m always happy to share my opinions
