You're cursing me about Shopper's Casino, The $1000 Bee, or both?

Hi guys im wondering what resolution is this beeing shot and aired at HD or widescreen or standard 4:3?

Thanks

Based on looking at the HD programming subforum at the AVS Forums and by checking on Zap2it's TV schedule, the Marathon will be in standard definition.

I just caught another run of the ad. The "Family Feud" segment isn't spoiled for me because I don't know who these people are well enough to recognize them in the 1/2 second they're on screen.

On another note, holy damn if that's not the actual "Card Sharks" set from 1978. Props to the prop crew.

The early runs of the promo spoiled the Family Feud segment and showed the celebs involved (clip that was uploaded to net was an early promo). I think they realized what they did and now, all current runs of this ad just show regular family members, not the celebs so unless you know what their family looks like, you won't know who they are. They were quick to fix that.

Whatcha gonna do, send me to my own room with my crappy shows? :-P

I'm not responsible for unleashing Shopper's Casino.  Dave got it in a trade with me at least six years ago.  The other two shows...guilty as charged.

Since I don't want to take any chances here, let's be clear that we don't need any showoffs with TiVo and a good eye to tell us who they are.  Those of us who haven't actually seen the ads yet would just as soon remain in the dark, thank you very much.  

The first time I read Travis' message, it just sounded like something that some of our members might read as an invitation.  Restrain yourselves.

That wasn't the intent at all, I was merely saying that the brief glimpse of FF doesn't ruin the eliminations. I have no desire to know who makes it to the end any earlier than the rest of the world. I can wait if you can.

I managed to rustle up a quick screengrab of the Card Sharks maingame board from the promo on the CBS site:

Sorry about the blurriness, that's what you get from a quarter-second glimpse of a compressed video file.

Oh great, it's modeled from the Eubanks set.

Think of it instead as the Rafferty set.

Number 1, the board may look like Eubanks, but the podiums are Perry.

Number 2, if the board from one game is going to sour your perceptions of the show as a whole, then you need to take Bandit Booby's advice, and get a life.

Well, it's not in the one-line format.  Whammy didn't mention that.  If you look hard enough, I think there's a clip chip hiding somewhere around there.

[Jeremy Nelson]

Seeing how the border has no glitzy chase lights, we can see that it DEFINITELY isn't from Eubanks- that's the only discernable difference between his gameboard and Perry's.

In addition, the border looks like the same type that was used for the border of Perry's Money Cards board. The design on the sudden death cut-off and the square lights on either side of the card line automatically tell you it's from Perry's version.

I could care less about the red/blue light border missing- that certainly isn't going to keep me from watching- Besides, the detail paid attention to is good enough for me.

Somebody please tell me what in that picture looks like it came from the Eubanks set- because I can't find it.

Wow.  Some of that Wisconsin brew getting to you again?

[Casey Buck]

To me, it looks somewhat of a combination of the Perry and the Eubanks set, though leaning closer to Perry. To quote Karlberg, GEEZ! It's close enough, and still a hell of a lot better than the CS 2001 set.
