Dan, the sooner you find out about the 2009 casting calls. Let us know so we can lock down our hotels and make travel plans.

Thank you

Also I’d like to arrange to have a Monster Pong in my hotel room.

Yeah…I’m thinking we should bring some Monster Pongs with us to each casting call….it will help pass the time and people would really enjoy them!

In terms of ratings, how is the show doing? It wasn’t available at all in the relatively large market of the New York City area last season.

From the last thread I read of people asking questions, what would make a fascinating story for my AllBusiness.com blog would be to talk about some of the past inventors and their products from season one. Would that be possible? There is a lot to learn from the past experience of others.

I asked this question the other day but I didn’t get an answer: Do you have an idea what the percentage of viewers of EE are non inventors. Have you gotten any positive feedback from these non inventors about the show?

Gavin,
Last year, Everyday Edisons was available on analog stations in over 60% of the USA. Including High Definition and digital, we were available to around 90%. We were seen in NYC in High Definition. WLIW (Long Island) has committed to running Season 2 this Fall.

Hey Stephen,

There is a strong possibility of using a portion of one of the season 3 episodes to see how the previous seasons inventions and inventors are doing.

Hey Jefferson,

All great ideas you’ve come up with…

I’ll make sure to integrate your request for more detailed prototyping processes, mold making, etc… )

While some I can’t do like the call to action with the EE website…only because we’re not allowed to do that-PBS rules

When we’re in full blown filming for the show and editing…it gets pretty hectic for the production crew and product development crew…so the “how-to” videos might be a little difficult to pull off….but it’s definitely something to consider

Thanks,
Daniel

I’m guessing you met those two at a casting call?

That’s how you recognize them?

Holly, looking good! I’m so envious and proud of you for getting to watch your passion come true.

Make sure you soak it all in and let us “losers” know every detail…well every detail that you can legally share.

Location Suggestion for 2009 Casting Call
— just make it in the springtime, or pack the longjohns

  • Dearborn, MI! *
    You guys should at least send someone up here to scout the location:
    The Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village

Hello Daniel,

I have been reading comments in other posts and there seems to be a rising doubt that the ’09 may not happen. Could there be any truth to this? An update either way would be appreciated. A previous post above from you states they would happen at the beginning of the year.

Thanks,
Chris

Thanks

Okay…here’s a question when are you going to have me back down and let me know what the heck you’ve been doing with my idea for the past 15 months or so!

You guys are killing me with the wait and the delaying the season and the not knowing when we’ll be back for final filming beyond “the beginning of the year”.

I’m just teasing you guys, I know you are doing a great job it’s just I’m tired of the cloak and dagger stuff and I’m ready to see what you’ve done.

One thing for sure, I’ve lost a lot of weight from all the worrying about what you were doing and stressing over my dashboard since first filming so you might need to retouch my footage to make me heavier to match the early stuff or add a subtitle so they know I’m the same person! LOL!!!

Mya,

I don’t think Everyday Edisons limits their casting to the US crowd only. As far as I know if you make it to a casting call and your idea is one of the best you have just as much of a chance of getting on the show as anyone else. Is that true on wondrous EN staff?

Give Mya some hope.

Mya, Everday Edisons does not limit casting calls to US citizens. Everyone is welcome to attend and present at an Everyday Edisons casting call.
