ABC’s producing a new reality show called “Million Dollar Idea” where contestants compete with one another to successfully launch a product. I’ve a friend with a winning idea, and want to get him on the show. Does anyone know how I go about getting him registered for consideration as a contestant?
The Million Dollar Idea Team:
Types of Products
Million Dollar Idea is searching for all types of products to feature on the show, from “Wow” to “Wild” to “Wacky” … and Beyond! Here are some tips on what you need to know before you submit your product or idea:
* The product must be either the invention of the inventor or presented by a marketer who has the marketing rights to a new product.
* A prototype or “mock-up” of your product idea is fine – just make sure you have a working model so you can demonstrate it and show the world your great idea!
* The product must not be widely recognized or widely available in the marketplace. The product must not be available for sale at national retail chains or other mass retailers (including catalog, television and other venues.)
* The product must have broad consumer appeal and be easily demonstrable on television.
* The product must not contain explosives, flammable liquids and solids, combustible liquids, gases, infectious substances, etiologic agents, biological products, radioactive materials.
* The product must not be indecent or obscene or contain pornography or material of a sexual or other inappropriate nature.

This seems like the website for the “original” Million Dollar Idea and not ABC’s version. Thanks for the info, though.
:smack: D’oh!
Well, what with the legal troubles, I suspect that the ABC version will never be produced. Nonetheless, Here is the contact info for ABC:
