Card Sharks Returning

I like what they did with the logo.

Me too. Although the only thing we've seen is the logo (and host), that tells me it's getting the same (good) treatment as the other revivals that have preceded it - same formulas that made the show great, but made to fit into the 21st century.

As long as they don't follow the format of the 2001 version with Pat Bullard, everything should be fine.

And no cartoon shark graphics going across the screen either.  That was about as unnecessary the % sign that zipped across the screen on Play The Percentages.

But the % had a cute little syntho-zipper noise to go with it!

I disagree!!!I thought the little shark animation was the high point of the half hour.

/maybe the shark needs to have an accompanying smaller one.
//perhaps a Baby Card Shark.

That could be an interesting side game - each player picks a suit, each time that suit is revealed in either hand, $ goes into a pot that is won with a exact guess on a survey question.  Call it the Baby Card Shark.

♫ Baby Card Shark, doo doo doo doo doo doo... ♫ (C'mon, ya'll we're thinking it!)

[ChrisLambert!]

Perhaps we all were thinking it because the joke had already been made by someone who was not you.

[TLEberle]

Thank you Chris L-factorial.

We're just having fun, Chris. I wasn't trying to be a Berle of a person. There's no need to be uptight.

/(Everything's Alright)

[TLEberle]

Indeed. At one point in his life Milton Berle was funny.

/Still can't report posts to the moderators. How about that deal.

I think you want to reassess your position here.

Every inch a gentleman.

Even Forrest Tucker agreed.

Tickets are now available on OCA.

If you're in the LA area, it'll be at TVC all next weekend.

A friend of mine in L.A. got tickets for the Friday taping. I'll get back to him over the weekend.
