Telly’s Take
Because Shark Tank is a competitive reality series, it is cheaper to produce than a scripted show. Although ABC pays the “Sharks” for their appearances, the money they invest is their own. So, while its ratings have slipped, Shark Tank is consistently one of the network’s better performing unscripted offerings. Barring some ratings-killing scandal or other disaster, expect ABC to renew Shark Tank for season nine.
5/11 update: ABC has renewed Shark Tank for a ninth season. Details here.
