EZTV have just put up what the networks will be showing and this show bears a striking similarity to Dragon's Den.
People will be pitching their ideas to various rich industry experts and getting them to invest in the idea. It looks like a main difference will be that the experts will try to outdo each other to get the products for themselves, if I got the blurb of the show right, which I don't know is a good thing. -------------------- Female Cenobite: "Didn't open the box." And what was it last time, "Didn't know what the box was?" And yet, we do keep finding each other, don't we?
Pinhead: Oh, Kirsty. So eager to play, so reluctant to admit it. Female Cenobite: Perhaps you're teasing us. Are you teasing us? Pinhead: Two minutes. Two centuries. It all ticks by so quickly. You are so very like your ancestors, did you know that? I have the distinct sense of déjà vu. The same defiance, the same faithless hope in the light? Dr Paul Merchant: And what do you have faith in? Pinhead: Nothing. I am SO exquisitely empty. |

That's because it is the US version of Dragons' Den... and I'm laying odds that it's going to suck.

I saw show similar to this concept on U.S. television years ago. Inventors had to show their ideas and wares to experts who elimnated people until the end. I only watched a few episodes.

This show is different, what they do is show their inventions to a panel of investers, and they decide there and then whether to give the money to the person or not. -------------------- Female Cenobite: "Didn't open the box."

I liked that show... oddly enough, one of the British Dragons was one of the judges. -------------------- I'd rather be a Commodore than the lower half of a Rear Admiral any day.
