[quote name=\'GS Warehouse\' date=\'Nov 4 2003, 10:46 PM\'] Considering H2 and TPiR tape at the same stage, I wouldn't be surprised.  BTW, when Bob was first picked on Monday, Tom mentioned that he hosted Card Sharks on that very same stage.  But Bob, you lasted just three years, not five. [/quote]
 I'm gonna split hairs and say Bob is correct when he says he hosted Card Sharks five years.  The show started airing on 1/6/86 and went off in March of 89.  They may have started taping or rehearsing during the last weeks of 1985.  So 85 would be one year, 86-2, 87-3, 88-4 and 89-5. So, I conclude Bob hosted Card Sharks in five different years in Studio 33.

Bob was first picked on Monday, Tom mentioned that he hosted Card Sharks on that very same stage. But Bob, you lasted just three years, not five.

I've noticed that too - and it's not the first time Bob has said that.  Despite the fact it may have been in five different calendar years, it was still a three-year-and-a-bit run, nowhere near five (unless there was a syndie version or something we didn't know about...)

 The first week or two of Eubanks CS shows were copyrighted 1985.

 Yup. TV years are just different than calendar years. Kind of like how TV days are different than calendar days =)

 And while that's a valid conclusion to the argument you are making, Bob's still flat wrong. Here, we'll spot you that rehearsals started, say, November of 1985:

November '85 to November '86: 1 year
November '86 to November '87: 1 year
November '87 to November '88: 1 year
November '85 to March '89: 5 months. Tops.

That's not five years. That's three and a half. At the most. Prolly closer to three and a third.

The more I think about the three vs. five years debate, the more I realize that *both* of you are completely correct.

You've gotta love math, don't ya?

Wow. One flippin' typo and you're gonna give me attitude like that?

Tell you what. You write another 1038 messages, error-free, and then come back and tell me how to post. Fair enough?

I'm glad to see Jaye P. Morgan again!  Back in the good old days, when I saw her on a game show panel, my late grandma would get mad because she couldn't stand her!


When Tom Bergeron would mention Just Men! when Betty White got picked, I start humming the bicycle tune off The Wizard of Oz!  Wonder why?
