Quirky was a reality TV show that aired on the Sundance Channel in 2011. The show followed the inventors behind Quirky, a company that crowdsourced ideas and then turned them into products for mass consumption. The premise of the show was simple: every week, a group of inventors would pitch their ideas to Quirky's CEO, Ben Kaufman, and his team of experts. The inventors would then have to convince the team that their idea was worth pursuing, and if successful, the team would help them turn their idea into a product.

Throughout the show's ten episodes, the inventors tackled a wide range of ideas, from a collapsible garbage bin to a smartphone-controlled lightbulb. The inventors were an eclectic bunch, ranging from a college student to a former firefighter.

One of the standout aspects of Quirky was the way it portrayed the invention process. The show did an excellent job of showing how an idea can go from a simple concept to a fully-realized product. The show also highlighted the importance of collaboration, as the inventors worked closely with Quirky's team of experts to refine their ideas and bring them to market.

Another interesting aspect of the show was the way it tackled the issue of intellectual property. Quirky had a unique approach to intellectual property, with the inventors giving up a portion of their profits in exchange for Quirky's assistance in turning their idea into a product. The show addressed this issue head-on, with Kaufman and his team addressing the concerns of the inventors and explaining the reasoning behind their approach.

Despite its focus on invention and entrepreneurship, Quirky was also a highly entertaining show. The inventors were a charismatic bunch, and their interactions with one another often provided some of the show's most amusing moments. There was also plenty of drama, with the inventors facing tight deadlines and unexpected obstacles as they worked to bring their products to market.

Overall, Quirky was an engaging and informative show that provided a behind-the-scenes look at the invention process. While the show only ran for one season, it left a lasting impression and served as a tribute to the power of collaboration and innovation.

Quirky is a series that ran for 1 seasons (6 episodes) between August 30, 2011 and on Sundance Channel
