Mark Cuban “Shark Tank” exclusive: new season features more fights, intensity

ABC’s Shark Tank would obviously not be successful without the creative and not-so-creative inventions showcased every week, but one particular shark has been lurking in the water for some time and plans to emerge to give the show some much-needed bite. Of course we are referring to the affable yet downright cutthroat Mark Cuban, the billionaire owner of the NBA franchise Dallas Mavericks and chairman of AXS TV (in addition to countless other ventures). Cuban has emerged as a star on Shark Tank (season premiere tonight at 8pmET), and much of that has to do with how he engages with […]

“Long Island Medium” season 3 recaps for “Homecoming” and “A Medium Surprise”

She’s baaack!!! Long Island Medium Theresa Caputo returned for a third season last night with two back-to-back new episodes: “Homecoming” and “A Medium Surprise.” Season 3 of Long Island Medium (TLC Sundays at 9pm ET/PT) features 16 new episodes, which means the Kleenex box at my house will now be part of my coffee table arrangement for the next eight-plus weeks. Initially, “Homecoming” lacked the natural conversational feel of the Caputo household, and instead felt more scripted and forced versus their usual fly-by-the-seat-of-their-pants diatribes and annoyances, but it eventually came together. Theresa carrying on about Larry Jr. coming home from […]
