TCA: ABC's 'Shark Tank Week' to Go Up Against NBC's 'Million Second Quiz'

Taking inspiration from Discovery's "Shark Week," ABC plans a "Shark Tank Week" of repeat episodes of the reality show in the week of Sept. 8. It will compete with NBC's "Million Second Quiz," a 24-hour live game show NBC hopes will get viewers to watch TV in real time.

ABC entertainment president Paul Lee announced the week in a Television Critics Association panel Sunday. The move comes as networks increasingly turn to big-event shows or live TV to try to get viewers to watch shows when they air, rather than on DVR.
