Take five business gurus with millions to invest if they like what they see and some intrepid inventors or entrepreneurs who stand before the sharks and offer proposals to invest in their ideas, and you have a surprisingly entertaining reality show with a different twist. This is real life drama and the "contestants" have only a few short minutes to convince the multi-millionaires who sit before them that money can be made if they only invest in their ideas for money plus a percentage of the business. Produced by Mark Burnett who is brilliant at developing (and winning Emmy's) such highly rated shows as The Apprentice and the Survivor series. This season sees some switching chairs in the Shark Tank as Jeff Foxworthy (The Blue Collar Comedy Tour) and Mark Cuban (Dallas Mavericks owner) spend some time and money investing their expertise and money into contestant's business ideas. The program also adds a look back at some successful investments made by the sharks and how it affected the life of a contestant and their business idea. Interesting concept and watching some good ideas (and some awful ones too) is entertaining.

AMC presents another reality TV series about advertising business, which is pretty much similar to The Apprentice and Celebrity Apprentice. So if you are very fan of these two abovementioned shows, there are lots of chances you'll be hooked by The Pitch. If not, it depends on how much you like shows revolving around business battles between professionals in highly stressed environment. Number of cooking and fashion series could be referred to this group: Hell's Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmares, Project Runaway etc. Another most likely chance for you to become addicted to The Pitch is that you are working in advertising business. Although most of its "reality" scenes are considered as a fake by many advertising market professionals, there are still lots of both interesting and intriguing moments; just imagine two super heavy-weighted world known marketing agencies struggling against each other to win a contract with America's largest QSR, the Subway.

"Wall Street Warriors" brings renegade real-life Oliver Stone characters to life, more or less in living colour, showing the hyper-adrenalized world of Wall Street trading. To no one's particular surprise, the real-life version of "greed is good" typically engrosses and terrifies more than the imaginary versions ever did, making for excellent television if not financial security. "Wall Street Warriors" looks at finance and the market from the inside out, showing the intense competition among brokers and traders in exquisite detail, also taking the true measure of how much power Wall Streeters wield. "Wall Street Warriors" debuted in 2006, more or less at the height of "derivative madness" and Lehman Brothers' runaway freight train. Not surprisingly, the "Wall Street Warriors" stayed with their party lines and best pitches as long as they could. Also not surprisingly, "Wall Street Warriors" went dark just as things got interesting. Its last episode aired in December, 2008, right at the peak of the markets' historic meltdowns.

All it takes is a great concept with a winning recipe and a thick skin to ward off the slings that the celebrity chefs will be throwing at you when you trip up. Bobby Flay (Food Network star, executive chef, and owner of 10 restaurants), Australian Celebrity Chef Curtis Stone, Lorena Garcia (Lorena Garcia Cocina Restaurant), and Steve Ells (founder of Chipotle Mexican Grill) steer the contestants toward creating their own individual restaurant concept that will be successful in three nationwide locations which are Los Angeles, California, Minneapolis, Minnesota, and New York, New York. The successful contender will also receive financial backing in the form of a huge monetary reward plus all the expert help they could ask for from the celebrity judges. Called a combination of The Apprentice and the Top Chef, Next Great promises to be an interesting look behind the scenes of what it takes to be successful as a restaurateur and run a business that makes money. Some episodes include live taste testing with audience participation by passersby, showing off the competition's flair for crowd pleasing food.

The producers' synopsis of "American Greed" says simply, "Some people will do anything for money." Each episode demonstrates just how far the word "anything" can stretch to accommodate criminal mischief. Produced by Bill Kurtis productions and definitely imprinted with many of Kurtis's signature touches, "American Greed" has done several special in-depth reports on the "con of all cons," the Bernie Madoff scheme and his subsequent life behind bars. An equal opportunity exposer, "American Greed" has detailed the cunning manipulations and runaway narcissism that drove scandals at World.Com, Tyco, and HealthSouth. In between big-print headline stories, "American Greed" goes after "ordinary" frauds"”generally less costly but no less ingenious and flagrantly outrageous than the headline grabbers. Insurance frauds are common, as are fake doctors"”even fake surgeons. Not surprisingly, "American Greed" has revealed the wit and wickedness in all manner of nicely dressed Ponzi schemes, and the show has penetrated far deeper into sophisticated identity theft than any other investigative series. Perhaps most significantly, "American Greed" marks the first in a bunch of newsy and documentary programs produced exclusively for CNBC, as the struggling network attempts to reconcile its identity crisis with hard-hitting primetime programming to complement its daytime financial reporting.
