Card Sharks

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.

One night, I had a deck of cards. I shuffled them up. I would create a game in a similar fashion to "It's In The Bag," with a little bit of "Card Game" thrown in there, on "The Price Is Right." I pulled out one card, where I had to guess "Higher or Lower," then pull out five more. Hopefully, I would be correct through all five of them.

Now, I have seen the tail end of this show on the old GSN back in 2000, but haven't seen how the game actually worked until just recently. It's amazing how I could find an actual game similar to one of my own creation: "Card Sharks." This was not only a great thing to watch daily back in the late 70s, but, well, it's a terrific show!!!!! (And you might want to try my game idea out, too!!!!!)

10/10

In 1978, we got the debut of Card Sharks, with the objective being to predict what the next card holds, and if you'll go home rich or broke.

The host for the 1978 version on NBC was Jim Perry, who was an underrated game show host and fit the role as host perfectly. In addition to Perry, we also get the models who decked out the cards for each round, which includes Ann Pennington, Janice Baker, Lois Areno and Markie Post, before she starred in The Fall Guy as Terri and as Christine Sullivan in Night Court.

The show did end on NBC in 1981, but got revived by CBS in 1986 with new host Bob Eubanks, who is known for hosting The Newlywed Game. The lovely Lacey Pemberton and Suzanna Williams were the models for this version. Pretty much, it's mostly the same game, but later added different things to keep it fresh.

So, whether you're a fan of the Jim Perry and/or the Bob Eubanks versions (personally preferred the latter), watch Card Sharks and play your cards right!

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.

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
