In the fall of 2000 Card Sharks made a comeback to TV with a new version hosted by Pat Bullard and it ran in syndication till 2001 and it's a shame that this version of Card Sharks wasn't as popular because it would've been nice to see video games based on it and other things as well,
Who remembers when the new version of Card Sharks debuted in 2000?,

Well, there's a reason this version of Card Sharks wasn't popular, Kelsey: according to Game Show Garbage, it basically destroyed everything the classic version was. Pat Bullard was smarmy, no more survey questions, and both players had to play off the same row of seven cards with no freezing. If someone wanted to change a card, they had to use a Clip Chip and correctly predict the outcome of a short video. The Money Cards was butchered as well, As the $2,100 you won was divided into thirds and given to you $700 at a time on each row of the Money Cards Pyramid. GSG - and many CS fans alike - thought Card Sharks '01 was pretty much an abomination of a classic game show.

Actually this version of the show ran from 2001-2002.
This version was a mess. Maybe it would have lasted longer if it stuck to the tried and true format. Clip chips? Yeah, no thanks. I'd rather just watch Street Smarts instead.

It aired at 2 am in my area
One good thing about this show, it was the very first game show that did some sort of thing for the 9/11 attacks.

Actually this version of the show ran from 2001-2002. Not really even that -- the first-run shows ended in mid-December, with repeats through early January. And yeah, this version stunk. A lot. You and gamecrazyh said everything I could say on the show. |

One of the major problems with its gameplay involved that whole "one row of seven cards". If a player messed up the last card, the other won by default. Thus, it was possible for contestant A to run the whole row but then contestant B could win while just watching because a double ace comes up at the end or something.

The 2001 version of Card Sharks was not a revival. It wasn't Card Sharks at all. If you want Card Sharks to succeed as a revival, use the classic gameplay, but with a few minor add-ins or alterations. This version had 100% of its gameplay turned upside-down, and met with epic ratings disaster, thus resulting in a speedy demise. The GSN reruns of Card Sharks at that time did far better in the ratings.
And for the record, this flop of a game show did air on Canadian Learning Television through the summer of 2002, so maybe it did better in ratings in Canada than it did in the U.S.

The 2001 version of Card Sharks was the worst game show revival of all time, and the worst version of Card Sharks ever. try watch Family Feud instead
