Hi All
Oops, I missed this (1) & no one else posted it either
I was watching the History Channel & saw a commercial for a new show called - Invention USA
I kind of recall the History Channel was considering the Idea for a new Inventor show but I never heard another word about it
Here is what I could find
Makers and Making: History Channel show looking for great inventions
Jerry. Isdale - May 7th 2011
There is a new History Channel show in the works "Invention USA" with Garret Lisi (theoretical physicist/surfer) and Reichart von Wolfshield. The format is supposed to be unscripted interviews with 'amateur' inventors showing off their projects
They are looking for inventors to interview. Filming starts this month...
http://inventornotes.com/2011/05/05/his ... invention/
Should be fun to watch
Presenting its programming lineup Tuesday at the upfronts, History Channel made the announcement that it is greenlighting three new unscripted shows, Deadline.com reported. The new unscripted shows are "Invention USA," in which Riechart Von Wolfshield and Garrett Lisi search the country for inventors and the technologies that will transform people’s lives.
I asked and got permission from garrett to post, see below:

I guess I just started a forum for them
It would have been nice if the History Channel & the Promoters did a better job of Advertising & Marketing or someone posting some Info about auditioning for the show!!!
Sorry I could not find out what the goal/object of the show is or what the Inventor gets out of the show regarding any assistance of any nature if anything at all or do the Inventors just get the free airtime giving the Inventor a two (2) minute sells pitch & on too the next Inventor on National Television with a website & Inventory
No Info on any of that Info
Oh my Bad, Did I just come up with an Idea for a New Inventor show 
That would be way too simple for Television Entertainment but not very profitable for the network or producer & the other sale your product guys on Television
I hope someone has heard more or has more info to add

Hi Rhody,
Thanks for asking. I got asked to host this fun new show on inventors, and agreed to take it on as a side project. We're currently looking for inventors with cool prototypes to show off, with casting ending this friday, May 6, and about six weeks of shooting (for twelve episodes) beginning at the end of the month.

The $9.99 is for a private submission - no one else can see it (that's the purpose of the automatic signed NDA) the submission includes a worldwide patent search, report and documentation of your idea. Unless you submit your idea specifically for our review, we never see it. If you submit your idea for our review, then (and only then) do we evaluate it, and if it meets our extremely high criteria test (reviewed by our evaluation board of highly qualified (in new products development) Engineers, MBA Business people and successful Marketing people, we would then offer the inventor (i) a partnership in their idea of 50% x 50% in exchange for us supplying all the funding, management, protection, prototyping and marketing for the entire process to revenue and (ii) a percentage of stock in our our TDI company for them to share in all other inventors success as well. It's a win win situation for the inventor."
ideaApp is on the Apple iTunes app store free - check it out. If anyone has any questions about our inventions and or writings processes I would personally like to hear from you at alan@ideaApp.com

Hi All
I was digging around on the Internet trying to find out more Information about Invention USA
Apparently InventorSpot writer Myra-Per-Lee posted Information on the home page of InventorSpot about Invention USA casting calls back in November 2012
Calling All Inventors! Casting Call For Season 3, INVENTION USA!
Last night was the premiere of Season 2 of The History Channel's inventor show, Invention USA. No sooner did the season begin, that casting calls for Season 3 of the hit series get on the road too. So now inventors have another chance to strut their stuff before the casting directors and the show's hosts, Reichart Von Wolfsheild and Scotty Ziegler.
The application is simple. Initially, the show just asks for your personal contact data and a general description of your invention - how it works and what it does - a photo, and a video, if you have one. Additionally it asks for the status of any patent or application you have in process.
The major challenge, as far as the application goes, is that you must have a working prototype. It can be a homemade or manufactured part.
Then, and this is my very strong recommendation: you should at least have a provisional patent on the invention. But if you have a patent or have applied for a full patent, that's even better.
If the casting directors like your submissions, they'll set you up for a personal interview with the Invention USA hosts to meet with you and your invention... and the rest (to be seen on the show) may be their investment in the success of your product.

I contacted T Group & they said Invention USA is on hold at this time
I wonder if this is the reason why Invention USA is on hold
INPEX® 2013 Keynote Speakers:
Reichart Von Wolfsheild & Scotty Ziegler
Hosts, History Channel's Invention USA
Keynote Address – Wednesday, June 19, 2013 at 10:00 AM
Don't miss this keynote presentation by Reichart Von Wolfsheild & Scotty
Ziegler on Wednesday, June 19 at 10:00 am.
Staying Focused on Success
Scotty and Reichart have created hundreds of products for big name companies. For every single success you see, there were at least a dozen that died on the vine. In today's economy, investors and companies alike are not willing to take chances on unproven ideas. What can you do to increase interest in your product? What fails, what wastes your time? What works, and what is the formula of the winners?
Reichart Von Wolfsheild
Reichart Von Wolfsheild is a technologist, inventor, artist and futurist. Starting in his teens, he designed and built a computer CPU from scratch. In the early 1980s, while helping pioneer music videos for the then-fledgling network, MTV, he started his first successful technology company developing Artificial Intelligence applications. Blending his talents from several fields he made history conceiving one of the first multi-player modem video games, kicking off a franchise. He has designed everything from toys to weapons and developed more than 120 products for companies such as Boeing, Disney, Dreamworks and Mattel, and is always looking for the next fun challenge.
Scotty Ziegler
Scotty Ziegler is a master designer and inventor, dedicated to the building of all things cool. Designing cutting edge toys for such prestigious international companies as Hasbro, Fisher Price, and Mattel, Scotty can build just about anything, whether it needs to be forged in steel, sculpted out of clay, or built using the newest 3D computer technology. Scotty holds many patents and his inventions and designs have been featured in numerous newspapers, magazines, and national television programs. When it comes to creation, Scotty doesn’t know how to think inside of the box.
From strollers, to cars, to fine art and beyond, Scotty Ziegler knows no bounds. He can achieve the impossible, and build the unknown. Fans relish in his creative world because it constantly challenges artistic boundaries. He is revolutionary. He is challenging. He is Lord Bongo.
Will Invention USA compete with Shark Tank in the future
