Such a frustrating disappointment

Beautiful, moving film.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

This show is trying to be the next "Shark Tank", it even airs right before "Shark Tank". The premise is that these amateur toy makers want to get their toy published by Mattel. So they first have to get past three adult judges. If they are successful, they move on to "The Toy Box", a room with four OBNOXIOUS kids asking no questions and vacuously determining if they like their toy. If they do that, then they get to present their toy to Mattel. I rated it 3/10 because no one else could've hosted it better than Eric Stonestreet (Cam on Modern Family). But each episode usually starts out with the kids yelling, and it all goes downhill from there.

As another reviewer stated I wish I could give a negative number. I wish these kids could act like kids not as "scripted" caricatures. And I'm sorry to say I want Noah to lose his voice. JUST SHUT UP!!!! please. please. please. He was cute in his original video now he is just awkward. I pray this is a one and done season.

The Good: Mattel making the winners toy available nationwide Using kids as judges The idea of the showThe Bad: The Host The Host's interaction with the kids The Host's interaction with the contestants (terrible) Noah (annoying as humanly possible)My advice: The way the host greets contestants makes it feel that the show is geared toward 6 year old's - stop the obviously scripted jokes, they are NOT funny in the least. Find a different host and get rid of Noah, he does not come off as funny or cute, but as very immature for his age.Run the show more like Shark Tank and less like Romper Room and adults might just enjoy the show.

"The Toy Box" is a competition show in which the contestants have to successfully pass through two elimination rounds to qualify for the grand prize--a contract with Mattel to market their product.The contestants come armed with their stories of hardship, hoping for their big break. The success of "Shark Tank" was destined to spawn spin-offs and rip-offs: "The Toy Box" offers some variations from the original blueprint.The marketing talents of the contestants seems less a factor than on "Shark Tank". The products themselves are being judged. The first elimination round requires approval by at least two of three "mentors" on a panel of experts. These experts offer advice and voice their concerns and endorsements. Concepts like safety and replay-ability are considered.Those who pass the first round then pitch their products to a panel of four children, who might be considered precocious or overly dramatic (or both). One of the judges is Sophia Grace, who is fairly well known, thanks to Ellen DeGeneres. Another is Noah, a kid who riffs to his own beat. Some viewers will enjoy these walking memebots; others may just be annoyed.At the end of each episode, the remaining contestants receive their verdicts from the children by way of a "Magic 8-ball" message. This part of the show feels rushed and sloppy.The children, despite their non sequiturs and contradictions, seem to make reasonable decisions. And you have to love a 7-year-old who says, "Life is always about taking risks." Tell that to the adults.The ultimate winner of each episode becomes eligible for the contract with Mattel. On the season finale, the bigger winner is announced and the chosen toy will become immediately available in stores.
