The hit original series DALLAS CAR SHARKS returns to Velocity for an all-new season
Dallas may be hundreds of miles from the ocean, but it's home to the most ferocious sharks in the world of competitive auto auctions and they smell blood in the car pool. The hit original series DALLAS CAR SHARKS returns to Velocity for an all-new season as veteran sharks Ash Rabah, Martha Davis and her son, JD Cole, look to sink their teeth into the show's rookie shark, Frank Cortese.

He wants to show that he's a formidable foe when it comes to fishing out bargains on the auction block and turning them into profit in the body shop. Velocity turns the key on this new 14-episode season with back-to-back premieres on Wednesday, September 16 at 10 and 10:30 PM ET/PT.

For our March feature, my colleague Jeff Walker and I thought that instead of marking the Ides of March with songs about murder, betrayal, and fate, we would focus on the synergy between showtunes and Shakespeare.
