[quote name=\'TLEberle\' post=\'119704\' date=\'May 28 2006, 10:55 PM\']Card Sharks was interesting because of the interesting questions,[/quote]Well, your opinion, but I would be interested in knowing how many people watched Card Sharks for the survey questions, and how many people watched it for the cards.
[/quote]Yeah, it's my opinion. You asked me why it was a good thing that the original CS had only the regular survey questions, and I defended my point very well. In addition to not taking five minutes out of the show for one question, there was continuity. If you're just gonna dismiss my points out of hand like this, why should I bother?

I get it. I'm asserting that the survey questions improved the game because both portions used the higher/lower mechanic very well. If memory serves, you didn't watch Card Sharks anyhow, Mark, so your opinion isn't very relevant at all. It wouldn't matter if they rolled dice, threw cards at a hat, or had a chimpanzee spin a carnival wheel to determine control, you still wouldn't watch.
I, however, did (and do) enjoy the program a great deal. Not just because of the surveys, but because the whole show fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. If you had players alternating control every turn, you'd still have the card play, but it would be far less interesting.
