Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you like the Shark Tank TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a fifth season?
Yes, I like the show, if you allow some instructions on how to go on with business.
I like The Shark Tank TV series very much. I find it very insiring; eventhough we don’t learn how to produce a product. I am sure most of TV viewers wishes to learn how to produce different products that sell very well internationally. But most people don’t know how to do this or how to go about it. If you could offer some guide on this topic, this show will be more successfull.
