I remember seeing an episode of Eubanks' Card Sharks during the first week of January 1989, and it featured cheerleaders as the audience polling group. Well, I saw an episode from that same week recently, and discovered it may have aired during June 1988, and had the Jokers Car Game (no range board), plus Lacey was still pregnant at that time.
What I'd like to know is, did Card Sharks with Bob Eubanks go into reruns during January 1989? And if so, around what date did first-run episodes resume?
Also, was it normal for a game show in danger of cancellation to go into a period of reruns for a short period, then resume first-run episodes for the remaining weeks before the finale? If so, why was that?
