ABC orders Mark Burnett pilot


September 04, 2008 The network has handed out a pilot order to the unscripted project, an adaptation of the Japanese reality format "Dragon's Den." Sony Pictures TV is producing the show, which features aspiring entrepreneurs pitching their business ideas to moguls, aka the "Sharks," in hopes of landing investment funds. The arena of business-themed reality shows is a familiar one for Burnett, who also created and is executive producing "The Apprentice," which returns with a second celebrity edition in January.
