ABC's "Shark Tank" Treading Water

ABC is looking to give their Tuesday Night lineup another boost as they insert Shark Tank into the 8pm slot right ahead of Dancing With the Stars.

I was a little late to catch on to Shark Tank, but I caught it one night and my wife and I liked it.  It's a little staged, but what reality show isn't.  But the premise is interesting.  The show features entrepreneurs showcasing their product or idea to five investors/venture capitalists.

If the product or idea shows potential or interests one of the panel they can invest, partner up with, or make an offer to buy a portion or the whole company or idea.

I feel it's must watch television for those looking to start their own business or have an idea for a product or invention.

The ratings for the show are modest at best.  On Tuesday they will go up against Hell's Kitchen, which I also like.  Four more episodes are expected to run in the Fall, and more are slated for Spring  2010.

Give it a chance, it's not great, it's not bad, and it moves quickly as they have 4-5 different contestants/entrepreneurs on each show.
