The reality TV.. Hmmm. After trash like (Big Brother - 2000), then a hit of the age of cheating, manipulating and materialism (Survivor - 2000), to a bigger hit (American Idol - 2002) where the search for a singer is continuous (like we don't have enough!), I felt all the optimism in the world when I heard about (The American Inventor).
It's not about how to be a dancer (So You Think You Can Dance), a cook (Hell's Kitchen), a businessman (The Apprentice), a barber (Shear Genius), or a thin (The Biggest Loser)! It's FINALLY about the brain, the scientific creativity, and the way to produce what's globally important, and humanly needed, on a big scale.
But oh dear, I was wrong. According to the lousy, dreadfully idiot, first season, the optimistic feeling turned into frustration. Look at the shown inventions, some of them were seriously required to go ahead than others, but the honorable judges dumbly refused. To prefer trivial stuff over simply great ones like for instance the manual snowplow is absolutely provocative.
And let's save the worst for last. The genius bicycle with a seat in the front.. HA HAA HAAAAA! That's the winner?? How could that happen?! And among really brilliant, more useful, inventions?!! I don't know the deal here, but to see such a great innovations fall easily, and without logical reasons, while other fatuous "thing" hit the million lastly is not disappointing inasmuch as a disappointment out of the whole program itself.
Years before the show, I remember seeing a bicycle in my country as the same "creative" as the one which won eventually. Does that make its miserable maker The American Inventor?! Actually, despite some kind of fair end that tried to award some of the real meritorious brains, this was nothing but another TV show, without the value that I yearned for.
