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
score 4/10
