How can you tell if Andy is directing Card Sharks?

[quote name=\'JasonA1\']how did they differ stylistically?[/quote]
I'm not sure if there's some inside info behind Chris's statement [he knows him better than I do], but as far as the '86 version was concerned, the differences between the 3 were noticeable to some of us "geeks":
Alter: Style was, overall, more "simple" than successors. Tended to use crane camera a lot more during commercial outros.
Breslow: Used dissolves a lot more. Commercial outros consisted of contestant closeups--he would use a left-to-right wipe to transition between them.
Felsher: When returning from commercial, would show a wide, aerial shot of the set, before dissolving to Eubanks/Rafferty. Often used 2 cameras on car descriptions [Breslow used a single static shot].
