I can't say I'm all that surprised at the many bad reviews, but I didn't mind the first season. I really love the concept of the show, seeing new ideas from hopeful entrepreneurs and loved the idea of kid judges. Who cares if it's similar to Shark Tank? I love the idea of seeing new ideas for toys and how the kids react to them. Too bad they missed the mark in delivery.Some of the 'toys' had me wondering how even got through, they were so incredibly lame. But we all have such different opinions of what makes a toy fun, as adults, so that's why it' should be interesting to see what the kids think. If it was done right that is.However, I just watched a season 2 episode, some of it anyway, and was quite disappointed to see they had reformatted the flow and changed the judges for the worse. I really loved the original panel. Especially the British girl, so posh and had great feedback. I can't believe how many are hating on poor Noah lol was he the red haired chubby kid? I thought he was funny, and yes pretentious but I liked that. This new panel is so drab and flavourless comparatively with barely any memorable personalities.The host is borderline tolerable, if that, and it seems like in this new season they amped up his most annoying qualities. I also miss seeing the experts vet the toy first, to see what merits matter and don't. It needs to feel like the kids are actually assessing and reviewing the toys via play and taking with the inventor to work and it just doesn't anymore, if ever. We don't get nearly as much product info as we did in S1 and it seems like the kids barely play with the stuff before jumping into a very scripted feeling review afterwards.I loved the idea of it being an almost reality type show about product testing for toys and games. But it's more of an bland scripted waste of time with a super sized annoying host who looks like he's faking his way threw it all. And what was with those pillow fight pillows? Lol small and hard, like, come on. Triple the size and bury the hard part. Pretty simple. The fact she was let threw and allowed to claim they were really soft pillows damages the vetters credibility in my opinion.Are they this hard up for decent ideas? Or are they simply stacking the deck in favour of what I'm sure is a predetermined winner. And what's with the description claiming the inventors have no idea kids will be judging? As if lol

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.

It's a kids version of dragons den, shark tank.But with a more questionable practices.The kids are stereotyped, over dressed, clearly acting/coached with their responses for the most part when sitting down and interacting with potentials.The host is merely a straight man following a script, anyone could do that job.The judges/mentors might as well be talking heads, as they metaphorically rip the potentials a new ass hole. over several obvious issues that even a blind person can see.The potentials: Most have a sob story and are heavily invested in their toy designs. Some even took an existing idea and over engineered it / just added some colour or plastic to it and made some cheap packaging.For example, the worm game in ep1 is basically a sack race but you lie down and hump the floor.ep2 snap and roll is clearly a micromachines set.In the end the winner is pretty easy to guess, once you see the obvious copy right infringement, safety issues, and the current state of the product is 99% done.I'd like to find a reddit or something to properly vent on this but i'm unable to find one.

The Good: Mattel making the winners toy available nationwide Using kids as judges The idea of the showThe Bad: The Host The Host's interaction with the kids The Host's interaction with the contestants (terrible) Noah (annoying as humanly possible)My advice: The way the host greets contestants makes it feel that the show is geared toward 6 year old's - stop the obviously scripted jokes, they are NOT funny in the least. Find a different host and get rid of Noah, he does not come off as funny or cute, but as very immature for his age.Run the show more like Shark Tank and less like Romper Room and adults might just enjoy the show.
