Shark Tank is an American reality TV show in which entrepreneur-contestants present their business plans to The Sharks - self-made millionaire and billionaire tycoons - who will then choose whether or not to invest in the project. The program provide people from every walk of life a chance to start-up and chase the American dream.
There's minimal room for us to empathize because the upshot of each business pitch - either a grim "I'm out'' from each investor or some hastily configured deal - tells us little about whether anyone has actually won or lost.
There isn't much action here, and the sniping between the judges - none of whom particularly stand out - seems contrived to drum up what little drama exists on "Shark Tank."
Despite the rewarmed concept, the bad set, the cheap voice-over and almost everything else, Mark Burnett still knows how to do one thing really well: Find ordinary people who are uniquely qualified to hold forth in front of the camera.
Some viewers will find "Shark Tank" entertainingly sadistic; for others, the possibility that it might succeed (seemingly remote) will be a veritable crying shame.
