ABC’S hit series “Shark Tank,” fresh from a 2014 Emmy nomination for Outstanding Reality Program, is eating up ABC’s primetime schedule with the return of the popular “Shark Tank Week,” beginning Sunday, September 7 at 10:00 p.m. “Shark Tank Week” will conclude on Friday, September 12 at 9:00 p.m., gearing up for the special two-hour Season 6 premiere on FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26 (8:00-10:01 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.
The Sharks thoughtfully fished out six episodes from last season’s blockbuster haul. Following are highlights from each episode.
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 7 (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET) – (Barbara Corcoran’s pick) — ”Episode 511” – When this episode aired last season, the Sharks were shocked by the extremely lucrative online sales figures from this Austin, Texas couple’s knee-high boot socks. But Barbara Corcoran was a believer. “I fell in love with Melissa and Rick Hinnant of Grace & Lace the moment they stepped onto the set because they looked the part,” said Barbara. “Melissa is a sexy fashion designer and Rick is a man who talked money. When they sold a million dollars in socks five days after airing, I knew I’d stay in love forever.” (OAD: 11/22/13)
