The cringe was real. You ever watch something so cringe that you can literally feel the embarrassment through the screen? That would sum up the season premiere of Shark Tank. From the opening which sees Mark Cuban run ridiculously towards the audience like some kind of sports event, all the way to the guy resembling the Wizard Of Oz narrating from what looks like a lifeguard stand. The whole show felt surreal in a bad way. When a programs highlights consist of a product to scoop mucous from your baby and Mark Cuban offering to pay 1.5 million dollars for what can only be described as pizza Tupperware, you begin to question whether or not the whole thing is staged.
Lastly, whose idea was it to have the viewers text the show to answer the most inane questions ever? The only question viewers should have been asked was whether they believed it was time to follow Kevin O' Leary's advice and take Shark Tank behind the barn. If you saw this disaster in real time, I think you know the answer to that.
