It’s the weekend! And that means three days to curl up on the sofa and to catch up on your TV viewing! And that’s where we come in. We’ve rustled up a handful of shows across Disney’s eclectic array of channels where you’ll find everything from a scary NEW Marvel series to a new game show, and a look behind the scenes at Disney’s audioanimatroincs!
Shark Tank—Friday, October 16, at 8 p.m. ET on ABC
The critically acclaimed, Emmy® Award-winning unscripted series returns from a brand-new set! Filmed at The Venetian® and Sands Expo & Convention Center in Las Vegas, the 12th season premiere will feature Sharks Mark Cuban, Kevin O’Leary, Lori Greiner, and Daymond John, plus guest Shark Blake Mycoskie, founder of TOMS and co-founder of Madefor. A father-son duo from Ohio will help the Sharks get creative while sharing their solution for storing paint efficiently; two tech-savvy entrepreneurs from Massachusetts will put the pedal to the metal when they show off their portable electric vehicle charger; a husband and wife from New Jersey think they can smell success as they pitch their product designed to keep garments safe from bacteria and odor; and an entrepreneur from Oregon will try to convince the Sharks he’s brought blankets into the 21st century. With their inventive pitches, will any of them convince the Sharks to invest in their budding business?
