Beyond the Tank

Shark Tank is one of my favourite TV shows and my favourite part of each episode is seeing the updates to the businesses and seeing how well things have gone since they appeared on the show. It sucks that those updates are only a few minutes long; these updates go in depth as to what has happened and is happening. I love seeing that some businesses that got turned down went on to do well. Seeing the Sharks interacting with the business owners shows how the Sharks actually do their business and the strategies that they have used to reach where they are today. Some Sharks are just as they are on the Shark Tank (Mr. Wonderful being a harsh guy who cares about *the money*), while others act differently when they are talking business. If you love Shark Tank, then you'll love Beyond the Tank

As a huge fan of "Shark Tank," I am extremely disappointed by this show. The follow-up stories are too sugary sweet and the "drama" that each one faces seems so scripted and really not that dramatic. Everyone gets wrapped up nicely and everyone is happy by the end, which you know in reality cannot be true. It's a signature of Mark Burnett who loves to portray happy endings and feels the needs to script everything and then edit it so that it fits into a 10-15 minute segment. It just seems like more promotion for products that need a pick-me-up in sales or to help those "feel-good" people like Mo, the little boy who Damon took under his wing. If the show can stop being a long infomercial, then it would be so much better. New producers?
