Card Sharks

Another game show that needs to be brought back, i still watch the reruns. Its fun for those that gamble and those who dont. Everything hanging on the turn of the cards.

Whether you're watching the original version hosted by Jim Perry or the second one with Bob Eubanks, "Card Sharks" doesn't disappoint. Some of the survey questions, particularly the ones they ask to married people, are pretty funny. And whenever I watch this show, if a contestant comes across anything from a 5 to a 10, I keep hoping they'll stop there but they never do. I especially like the episodes where they have kids on the show because some of the things they say are a hoot. If I could host a game show, I would definitely want to bring this back on.

I've been a fan of the show since the original airings, it has a great format and is very easy to watch while thinking 'What would I say in this situation?' It's pretty obvious they encourage the contestants to talk a little about why they answered the way they did. The biggest problem I have with it is there should have been a push rule in effect from the very start, not just in the money round. It's unfair to play higher/lower when a duplicate card means losing no matter what. At the very least they could have let each contestant have two insurance chips that would let them change the card when a duplicate showed up.

If I had to choose a great late 70s game show entry,Card Sharks would be it. When I go to my mom's house,the Bill Rafferty version(1986-87) of this show is on KCOP (My13).It's on Sunday morning at 1:30am here in Los Angeles after Family Feud(Louie Anderson version).Although it was a short-lived version,it's still enjoyable.GSN had this version on for awhile,but it just disappeared into thin air.I wish they could put this marvelous show on DVD for us to enjoy anytime we want.

First off, I must say that this is a fun game show. Also, since I'm 24, I haven't seen every episode. However, I do know the show very well. Every time I've watched it, I've had a lot of fun playing along and watch. Despite the fact that it's finished its run, this makes me long to be a contestant. The thing I like most about it are the questions. Despite the fact that I don't know that many answers, I still have fun playing along. I hope the Game Show Network keeps it on so I can play along and watch again. If that happens, I will be really happy. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that I'll always remember this show in my memory forever. Now, in conclusion, I hope that you catch it one day before it goes off the air for good
