It was the blog posting title that got me: “Trailer for CBC’s new reality show…leaked!!” Only it can’t be a leak if it appears on the show’s official web site, can it? Anyway, here’s your first view at what Dragons’ Den will look like.
Can’t read a whole lot into a 15-second clip, other than the production values seem high and the dollar values nearly impossible. (A Canadian show is giving $200,000 away?!) It certainly looks sharp and, proving there are few original ideas left these days, damned similar to ABC’s (yes, ABC) American Inventor.
On the other end of the spectrum, I did a quick search for Dragons’ Den on Google Video and found what seems to be a pilot of a segment the show producers were trying out, called Inside the Dragons’ Den, the bulk of which involves asking contestants a simple math question. Over and over again. Here’s hoping there’s still more fine-tuning left.

As per usual, Dragon’s Den actually began as a very nicely British series first. the format was purchased in both the US, and Canada. The original was an eye-opener to any budding entrepreneur with an idea to sell. Let’s hope the Canuck version doesn’t wash it out.
[...] First look at Dragon’s Den [...]
Glad you liked the promo and thanks for the feedback on the pilot we tested. And yes, more work needs to be (and is being done) on that. Should be polished (as much as web video is ever polished) by mid month’s release.
Stay tuned, and thanks for the Feedback.
