American Inventor is Back for another season!

Ladies and gentlemen! Boys and girls! Children of all ages!  Set your Tivos and DVRs!  A new season of American Inventor starts Wednesday at 9/8c on ABC.

American Inventor, from Simon Cowell and co-creator Peter Jones, returns for its exciting, innovative second season in search of America's best new invention. The show -- the embodiment of the ultimate American dream -- will uncover the hottest new product and make one struggling inventor's dream come true. With one million dollars at stake, American Inventor will celebrate the best in homespun American ingenuity.

National casting calls were held in six major cities across the country -- Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Houston and Tampa. Thousands of inventors, tinkerers and entrepreneurs of all ages applied, and viewers will witness these inventors presenting their most prized inventions, featuring everything from the wacky to the heart warming.

This season could get interesting with a mix of entrepreneurial judges like George Foreman, grill spokesman and former heavyweight champ; Peter Jones, a British entrepreneur; Pat Croce, a man credited with resurrecting the Philadelphia 76ers; and Sara Blakely, founder of Spanx, Inc., a company that manufactures footless pantyhose and slimming undergarments.

Out of sheer curiosity, does anyone have an update on the winning invention from last season, the Anecia Survival Capsule (Car Seat)?  On last year’s season finale Evenflo announced that it would help Janusz Liberkowski develop the Anecia Survival Capsule.  However, as of July 2006, InventorSpot.com reported that the capsule was still in development phase.
