    I can see why lots of people are being critical. Any show rests on its host and this guy is not the one to make the show great and clever, as the show's concept is. What this show needs is a reincarnation of Robin Williams! Would that be great or what! It needs someone who is GENUINELY a big kid, someone who loves to get down on the floor and play! When the kids are being kids, playing with the inventions, the show is terrific and the smiles on the inventors' faces are real. And, the gutted feelings the losers must have are real, too.I think the show is salvageable: the TV executives just need to go to a successful elementary school class or two and see how dynamic kids and creative teachers having fun can be an exhilarating experience. Then, incorporate the "action" they see into the show. I've watched all the episodes and there seems to be slight improvements. Maybe, the directors and producers realized many of the mentioned flaws as filming proceeded and made adjustments.Best of luck to ABC. RS

    Honestly I scored the show a point higher due to all the hate and the negativity it gets. Is it worth an 8, maybe not but it certainly ain't a bad show.The positives: - A good concept. - The toy ideas are fun to see. - The idea to let kids judge a toy is great. - The judgement of the kids feel scripted, however it reflects what they show as when they play with the toys. - The mentors seem to offer a good and professional opinion.The negatives: - Noah can be annoying at times, either this is due to the script or to the person I leave upon your own decision. - Eric Stonestreet adds not very much to the show when talking with the inventors, though his interaction with the judges is much better.In general I don't think this show is that bad, give it a fair chance, it should at least deserve something between a 5 and 7 in score.

    I really enjoyed this show and thought it was a fun spin on Shark Tank! The kid judges were hilarious, Eric Stonestreet was great (as always) and it was great to find something the whole family could enjoy. It's a fun new way to watch a competition game show and we will definitely be tuning in every week to see who the winner is!

    I can't stand Noah. He is soooo annoying, and whoever's feeding him lines needs to stop. The other kids are fine, but their words seem rehearsed, not genuine. Eric Stonestreet is nothing more than a familiar face and name. He does nothing to contribute to the show except drop his name. It's a shame he got this lousy gig. He's wasting his talents on this train wreck. The only good thing about this show are the actual products. If they would focus on the products instead of the kids, this show might work. I am definitely not going to invest anymore time in this show.
