Saw a promo for this show and thought it looked interesting. Then we got an email about it from a producer. So, if you watch it, here's a thread to talk about it!  quote: MADE IN THE USA, premieres NEXT WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14TH AT 10 PM EASTERN AND PACIFIC on the USA Network. It's an exciting new series about inventors as they work and compete to get their products to the marketplace. Thousands of inventors applied to be on the show and one will walk away with a contract to sell their new invention on the Home Shopping Network. MADE IN THE USA is a wonderfully broad and relatable concept about a topic that is not currently in the reality tv landscape, so we think it will be perfect for your site and for your fans.

Am I the only one who watched this last night? I liked it! There were some really crazy inventions there and some things that were pretty cool. I liked how they not only needed to have a good invention, but they needed to be able to pitch -- even if it wasn't their product they were pitching. I think it's going to be interesting to follow some of this. I thought the plywood carrying handle was great (if you need that kind of thing, it's indispensible). I also liked the quad zipper. I can see a lot of great uses for that. The plant stuff (with the fountain) looked interesting, but it was hard to tell much about it since their pitch seemed to focus more on the fountain, which was less interesting to me than the plant growing material. The changeable shoes seemed like they'd be way too flimsy for me. I'm really hard on shoes and anyway, I don't wear those little heels like that. Interesting idea if they can find a way to package it and keep the quality high. The hair extensions looked like the most well developed idea to me. It's a very specific niche market and a fairly narrowly focused product scope, so it seems natural that it should be the most developed. Don't know that it's something I'd ever try, but ya never know.

I watched it and LOVED it. The gorilla grip (the plywood carrying device) was my husband's pick, he does woodworking as a hobby. My favorite was the hair highlights. I go to hockey and arena football games and I put the team's colors highlights in my hair. It would be nice to be able to put the highlights in and then remove them after the game. Right now I use temp color and some times it doesn't want to wash out right away. I can't wait for next week when the products get tested!
