In a recent blog post, Entreptreneur.com writer Carol Tice asked readers, “Shark Tank vs Undercover Boss: Which Are You TiVo-ing?” Excellent question, Carol! And psst…we’ve got the answer. But more on that in a minute.
Tice’s column points out that, within a week of each other, CBS and ABC will both be premiering their business-themed reality shows, Undercover Boss and Shark Tank, respectively. While the CBS show is focused more on big business, Shark Tank is more of a startup-oriented show, with entrepreneurial hopefuls pitching their passion projects to the likes of Mark Cuban and Barbara Corcoran. And, as it turns out, that’s the one Tice will be tuning in for: “I’ve been looking over both shows’ early episodes and what they have planned, and have to say I’m looking forward to Shark Tank. “ And with a season featuring QVC’s Lori Greiner as an investor, and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak as a guest star, we really can’t blame her.
But which show will TiVo viewers be watching? We took a look at the numbers, and based on our Season Pass data, more people will be tuning in for…drumroll, please…Undercover Boss! And really, it’s kind of a lot more. Shark Tank ranks at #209 on our list, almost 100 rungs below the Boss, which clocks in at #112. Now, we’re sure there is something there about big business vs. the little guy, but as Tice points out, “Which you watch may also depend on what you enjoy more.”
Will you be tuning in for the do-gooder bosses on Undercover, or jumping into the Tank? Post a comment below or tweet us at @tivo.
