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.

Although network executives axed the broadcast in June, 2010, "The Dave Ramsey Show" still occasionally pops-up in reruns on the Fox Business Network. Extremely well-adapted to the desires of his exceptionally devoted core audience, "The Dave Ramsey Show" began with a monologue cum homily, and then devoted the rest of its time to answering callers and e-mailers question. Ramsey's down-to-earth, personal touch with questioners made good viewing as well as good advice. Meanwhile, Dave Ramsey, the pundit without the television program, remains one of America's most popular and most trusted financial advisors, and his daily radio program owns its time slot, boasting at least three million loyal listeners. Ramsey has built his reputation on the gospel of debt-free living, and he gives sound step-by-step guidance to listeners, showing them how to save, how to eliminate debt, and ultimately how to build wealth. Unabashedly Christian, Ramey tempers his sound fiscal advice with timely and well-chosen spiritual guidance. Ramsey travels extensively, delivering his seminar series "Financial Peace University," always drawing sell-out crowds.

While it aired, "Your Questions. Your Money" TV series, went live on Fox Business Network Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Dagen McDowell, anchor for "Your Questions. Your Money," told viewers, "We're here for insight and inspiration." The questions and answers focused primarily on starting, managing, and growing small businesses, which McDowell equated with fulfillment of the American Dream. Her guests typically were entrepreneurs and venture capitalists. Although "Your Questions. Your Money" developed a fiercely loyal following, Fox elected not to renew the show when its contract expired at the end of the 2009 season. Dagen McDowell generally was more interesting than the advice she and her guests gave. McDowell graduated from Wake Forest University with a degree in Art History, but she worked her way up through the ranks of financial reporters, ultimately parlaying good looks and a gentle Virginia accent into a regular spot on "Your World with Neil Cavuto." McDowell sparked serious brouhaha in the financial community when she compared taxing AIG executive bonuses with sexual abuse, commenting, "You don't want to think, if you get in bed with Uncle Sam, he is going to strip you naked, chain you to the bed,"¦then take nasty pictures of you, and then put them on the Internet."

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.

"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.
