GSN has officially rewound the clock back to episode #350 of Bob Eubanks' Card Sharks.
Meanwhile, Press Your Luck is still going, airing the Jim Hess episode.

I have to say I've warmed up to the Eubanks version over the years. I do wish they'd air the rest of the Perry episodes they leased last fall. There's a bulk of the 1079-1980 shows I still haven't seen.

I read a comment on a Rafferty episode on YouTube that he (the YouTube user) had issues with Bob Eubanks hosting Card Sharks. He claimed that Bob was okay at first, but later in the run he switched to his Newlywed Game-style persona. He preferred Perry and Rafferty more.
While I do agree that the questions he asked were more related to sex, marriage and romance since late 1986 or early in 1987, I like his hosting style and the fact that Card Sharks on CBS got better with the addition of the car game. Maybe the adult-oriented questions were what CBS wanted, and Bob Eubanks was a perfect fit for the 1986 revival.
The questions used in Jim Perry's run involved more current events and political topics, in addition to the usual sex and romance topics.
The Eubanks version had questions based on other topics (like the question about Lawrence Welk in January 1986, and the political questions about firefighters and police officers on strike in May and August 1986 respectively).
Earlier in the current lease, I did hear a firefighters' question about their own house burning down. There were still some questions not related to sex and romance as we headed into 1988, but they were less common.

Are we seeing "new" episodes of Eubanks Card Sharks on GSN? It looks like we're in early 1988?? I remember they rewound back to Episode 350 in May, but these seem "new"...can anyone confirm?

They're the same ones they've been paying since September 2016: May 1987-January 1988. tvlistings.zap2it.com/tv/card-sharks/EP01131575?aid=zap2it

I just turned on GSN earlier today and i notice the 11/19/1987 episode of Card Sharks was aired before the $25,000 Pyramid went on. i think Zap2it listings were wrong on that.

It was most likely a case of the episode numbering vs. CBS airdates being off. Given another user's recollection from 30 years ago that the show was likely pre-empted on Christmas Day 1987, it may be possible that Pope John Paull II coverage may not have impacted Card Sharks in September 1987.

The 2:30am episode just rewound back to May 1987. It looks like according to the online schedules, these episodes will carry over to the daytime episodes. Is this rotation #4?

Yes, it is the fourth cycle. If anything good comes out of it, I will have an opportunity in the coming weeks to record what I may have lost in my external hard drive which supposedly gave out last spring. I know there are a few episodes from late-May 1987 and maybe June 1987 that I recorded in the fall of 2016 but later lost, unless they are already preserved on my CD-ROMs. I will try to remember to check my CD-ROMs over the weekend. I know at least one or two of the episodes have pregnant women as the audience polling group.

As for the original Card Sharks, I'd love to see GSN air the April-July 1980 range of episodes that Jason(from the Game Show Warehouse site) forgot to recap and/or the April 13-June 1981 shows again(especially the version's final Kids Week that aired from April 15-21 and the first episode where a player could win a $500 bonus for running the board without freezing, which aired on April 29, 1981 BTW) as there were so many 1981 shows that had ticket plugs shown at the end of the episodes which led to GSN extend the commercial break period until the closing credits appear. The actual episode #s BTW through May 9, 1980 were #437 to #529. Tomorrow, we're seeing episode #437 and #438.

I've never understood why some players change fives and jacks. Those are fairly good cards. Sixes and tens are iffy, but always change sevens, eights, and nines.

There were also occasional freezings on fives and jacks, in the Perry run in particular, and a freezing on a Queen during the non game show celebrity tourney IIRC. Less freezing, even on sixes-tens, occurred in the Eubanks and Rafferty run than in the Perry run. A little less freezing happened in the last months of the Perry run when they added the $500 bonus for running the cards for the first two games of the match. Freezing during a three-card tiebreaker, probably wasn't the best strategy, but occasionally it happened(save for the last year of Eubanks when they made the tiebreaker a one-question sudden death round)
