Shark Tank: Petition to Save the ABC Reality TV Series

Shark Tank TV showOn this ABC reality show, five multi-millionaires try to make lucrative deals with newbie entrepreneurs. Unfortunately, Shark Tank hasn’t been a great investment for ABC so, based on the ratings, the show seems likely to be cancelled.

What can you do? Remember, the ideal scenario for ABC is for many millions of people to watch the show on their television sets, while it’s being broadcast. Downloading, viewing online, or watching a recording many days later doesn’t really doesn’t help a series’ ratings. If you like Shark Tank and want to see it continue, there are a few things you can do to help.

  1. Watch the show whenever it’s on, preferably live, and encourage others to do the same. You might know a Nielsen family and not be aware of it.
  1. Talk about the show with others; at school, at work, online, or wherever. Creating a buzz about a show that you’re invested in gets other people interested.
  1. Sign the petition below and encourage others to do the same.
  1. Write to the network. Be respectful. Everyone responds better to courtesy. Tell them how much you enjoy the show, that you’ve signed the petition, and that you want to see it continue. You can use this form or, even better, write via “snail-mail” to: Mr. Stephen McPherson, Chairman, ABC, 500 S. Buena Vista Street, Burbank, CA 91521, RE: Shark Tank
  1. Take note of the products that you see advertised consistently during the show. Write the advertisers and tell them that you appreciate their sponsoring the show and that you buy their products (if you do).

To ABC, Mark Burnett Productions, and Sony Pictures Television:

We, the undersigned, really like watching the new Shark Tank TV show on the ABC network. It’s fun to learn about the interesting products, see the “sharks” do business, and think about which products we would invest in. In short, it’s educational without being boring.

Please find a way to keep Shark Tank on the air. We are devoted viewers who will continue to watch the program, encourage others to do the same, and will support the series’ advertisers as well. Please keep it going, either on ABC or, if necessary, on another channel.

Thank you for your consideration.

    This is truly an entertaining program that helps the public become aware of products and innovations that are otherwise not likely to be considered - or discovered at a much later date. The Sharks are excellent and the entrepeneurs are amazing.....I can't imagine the pre-screen processing but it all goes to be a win-win--win for the Sharks, the inventors, and the public. This certainly should be retained before the idiotic sitcoms that are highly rated.

    Shark Tank is an innovative, exciting, unique show! Please keep it running. Shark Tank was starting to go Viral, since many business owners have been passing it on as a "MUST SEE". Shark Tank viewers will grow as the word is passed around. Keep this smart and business savvy show! Ratings will increase in time! Manny Sarmiento - President Doral Chamber of Commerce - Miami, FL

    Please PLEASE don't cancel Shark Tank!!! My husband and I absolutely LOVE this show, it's our absolute favorite thing on TV and miss it terribly! We looked forward to Friday night at 8 all week long and never missed an episode. We even watched the reruns over the summer months and were still glued to the set as if they were new shows. We especially miss The Sharks themselves. They're fascinating brilliant people and we're craving to see them again! Oh and we bought a Daisy Cake too and to that we say Go Barbara! And Thank you!

  • Darlene WymerCountry: USA2011-10-02 09:23:11
    I love the "Shark Tank" and look forward to it every Friday evening. I was very disappointed to here it was not renewed. It's fresh and different, unlike any other program on TV today. It has a great mix of personalities and an occasional guest "shark" keeps it fresh. I hope you will continue it. Thank you.
  • Jack WymerCountry: USA2011-10-02 09:18:53
    Please do not cancel the "Shark Tank". It is one of the most interesting and innovative shows on Network TV. With a little promotion, it could become a big hit with an endless supply of material. Thanks for your consideration.

    A great show; I can't miss one episode! Some of us don't enjoy the night time soaps and crime shows, but I guess we are in the minority. Please bring The Shark Tank back!!
