JonSea, you wanna hear some exciting news about this coming week, the 2 CBS Card Sharks episodes that'll be airing this week will make their very first airings on GSN(to be precise, episodes 464 and 465, air dates: October 30 and November 2, 1987), afterwards, GSN would only have one remaining episode that they never reran in its entire lifetime because of the Johnny Carson tribute.

Thanks for the heads up. I do believe that a woman from England named Donna was the returning champion on November 3, 1987 (that episode was on YouTube for a while, but the user took his uploads down on his own terms, but I did download them). If Wednesday's GSN broadcast starts with Donna returning as champion, then chances are we can safely assume tape damage for the October 30 and November 2, 1987 episodes. Will have my DVD recorder ready for this week of shows. I can't believe that not only do we have the vast majority of 1987 covered, but we have virtually exhausted the episodes not seen since 2002, and now heading into the episodes last shown in 2003.

Well, Jennings will have the DVD recorder set up for these 2 episodes as well and will upload them for those who don't know how to record them from the DVD recorder. Jon, uploader you're referring to is Jared Oswald who uploaded episode 466 of CBS Card Sharks.

Ivoryface86, do you know when exactly was the Jim Perry version was preempted from April 1978 to April 1979? I know it happened three times, but when exactly?

I'm glad you asked Vahan, the first pre-emption came on November 23, 1978, then Christmas Day and then January 1, 1979. The next preemption wasn't until November 22, 1979.

Regarding the episodes that may be skipped, I did learn that there were Chippendale dancers as the audience polling group that week, and it got me wondering, could it be possible that an episode was skipped due to possibly risque content, such as inappropriate dance moves?
I believe I do happen to have possibly four episodes with the Chippendale dancers from November 1987 downloaded from YouTube in 2013. The earliest known episode from that week has Donna, an English woman, as the returning champion, and a scrolling banner advertising for special St. Patrick's Day programming airing that day in 2003 when the episodes last aired.
There may have been only one episode from that week skipped for all I know. I'll have to check my external hard drive to find out.

#465 is airing right now! Looks like you were right, ivoryface86 ! They may have never digitally transferred those two episodes until now! CardSharksFan8689 , if that was the case, GSN would have never aired any reruns of The Gong Show that had "risque dance moves", including one episode that was initially banned by NBC, after it aired on the East Coast. (the Popsicle Twins) Now, all that's left is to get the episode that GSN skipped in 2005, due to the Johnny Carson Tribute.

I have older GSN recordings from some episodes of this week. I doubt this is the reason. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that I don't think they would have used an episode in the first place if it was perceived as too scandalous or too racy by someone either associated with Goodson or CBS. 1987 Eubanks CS is rarely shown in itself. I think it just has more to do with that. I doubt there's anything behind it. Some eras of shows don't seem to get as much airtime (just like, for example, it took years for us to finally see 1981-82 Password Plus for the most part on GSN, but eventually it happened). I'm hoping Buzzr gets to this point of the show some time. I'm glad to see it untampered with compared to GSN and it made sense for a new game show network to start a fresh acquisition from the beginning; but on the other hand, I'm kind of 1986'd out.

I agree. I never cared much for the 1986 episodes until after the launch of the car game. Card Sharks was just bland without the car game. It was the car game that really put some life into Eubanks' Card Sharks and drew me as a viewer, and it may have helped ratings skyrocket, until after Classic Concentration debuted on NBC. I do admit to seeing Card Sharks in the original CBS broadcasts in the summer of 1987, despite my growing interest in Classic Concentration around that time.
It is really great to get to see and record those 1987 episodes since they aired early in 2015. It is hard to believe that by the time the current lease reverts back to May 1987 (I'm thinking between early-April and later in May), the vast majority of 1987 will have been covered with maybe a few weeks from that year remaining, to say the least.
I have to admit, while I did record Card Sharks on a daily basis for some time, I never got to see the episodes due to my busy agenda as of lately, plus my lack of interest for the last many weeks, only to have rebounded as of lately (and no, the Chippendale dancers were not the reason). I am not sure if the skipped episode claim was what renewed my interest in watching the show, or other reasons I don't seem to realize.

Card Sharks never really needed a car game to boost ratings. Ratings for the original NBC version (which didn't have a car game or an Audience Poll), were perfectly fine its first 2ΒΌ-years, until June 1980, when it moved to Noon (blame Fred Silverman for that).

It's not even the lack of a car game for me, though I do think the car game and the audience questions were nice additions that helped make the game fun. But it has to do with the fact that with the exception of right now, the last two or three times GSN brought back the Eubanks era of the show, they always started it over from the beginning and Buzzr just did the same thing (though in their case, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, because, again, that was a new acquisition for a brand-new network). If Buzzr decided to skip a bit for the next batch of fresh episodes like they did with Match Game and Family Feud, I know it'll understandably annoy some folks. But I won't complain.

So cool to find this thread. I plan on posting about Jim Perry's Card Sharks on here. The latest Buzzr episode aired on Friday was August 15, 1978. We are going through August 1978 at moment. So far we have seen on Buzzr April 24, 1978 to August 15, 1978. We also had a special July 4, 1980 episode as well. Can't wait for the fun and games to continue on Buzzr.

On Thursday the 20th according to Zap2It, the airdate for Card Sharks is December 16, 1987. There's no information for Friday the 21st. I guess we'll soon see. It's nice to finally see these episodes of Euabnks Card Sharks again. They're much more exciting.
I've also been watching the Jim Perry episodes on Buzzr. It looks like on Thursday they'll begin airing the episodes with the rule changes (such as being able to change the base card on each line of the money cards). Looking forward to it. I'm also picking up the episodes I missed when they aired this in 2010-2012.
