The Profit

The inside look shows they are doing now are amazing. I have seen every show that they have done on the inside look, but I love them all over again. I dream about working with or even for Marcus. This show is so educational for people that own or even just manage a small business. I love it.

Just happened to flip to CNBC for an after market trading check, but this show happened to be on. I ended up watching a rerun at 6 pm and the new episode later that night. What I really like about the show is that it doesn't always end in success. In the first episode I watched, Lemonis walked out on them. In the second episode, he almost did, but the owners came though. Their final product was very, very well done and seemed both viable and thoroughly thought out for sustainable, long term success.

I agree with a previous reviewer, it would be really cool at the end of each season to do check-ins with the businesses to see what aspects of their plans worked and what parts failed. I hope this show continues for many seasons to come and that the variety of businesses remains plentiful.

The Profit is a reality TV show where businessman Marcus Lemonis works with failing businesses in attempts to save them from going belly up by offering the business heads his knowledge and a $2 million dollar fund.

Much of the reality shows on TV are non-fiction (of course), but filmed and written with the ultimate goal of game-playing, Hollywood star power and entertainment value - shows like "Survivor," "The Biggest Loser" and "Hell's Kitchen." However, shows like "The Profit" involve more real, serious situations in which the action and choices made by the show's people will effect their everyday lives, and have the ability to effect the world as well.

This show is all about business management, making choices, financial skills and transforming work in successes or failure. There is no game-play, nor overzealous drama, real work and diligence and personal decisions - all with some entertainment and suspense mixed in. Great stuff here!

Grade A

This season(8) they've added music to the show. It's too loud and not needed. I hate to do it but I'm going to stop watching.

anyone who has a small business needs to watch this show. Marcus is a foremost a businessman and the main objective is to make money but he's willing to get his hands dirty and work with some really unworkable people. I am actually starting a small business and I've learned a lot. He often talks about 3 P's, product, process, and people. And in many of the businesses he tries help, it's often the people(owners) that bring businesses down and it's amazing to see how they can't see the golden opportunities to make a crap more load of money if they are willing to change and just follow what Marcus tells them to do and put in the effort. Anyhow I watch this every week with my wife. It's also her favorite show now. Also, I made a IMDb account just to review this show. Hopefully the ratings increase so that the show can go on for long time.
