That was the main reason I never watched CS. The contestants were obviously coached to give long explanations of their answers ("Jim, I think the American Woman is so busy, like they say 'you've come a long way baby', and have I mentioned the E.R.A. ... anyway, I'll say that fewer than 43% of women clean their toilets more than once a week!) and were pretty hyped up when it came time to actually turn the cards.

That's the only part of CS I don't like...The long-winded explanations of why they picked 37 out of a 100 or why they went higher or lower.....

Jim Perry had a great, dramatic yet friendly hosting style which carried over beautifully to $ale of the Century. [/quote]
From what I understand, I believe Randy Amasia was the one who mentioned this on ATGS some years back, the only reason why Jim was unable to host Card Sharks when it returned was because he was already committed to $OTC. Does anyone else know if he was considered for the hosting gig? It would be interesting to see how different the show would have been had he hosted it. I agree with the others who feel that Bob Eubanks was a jerk. I know the accounts of Kelly Rudiger state otherwise, but from what I saw of him on the show, it seemed like he was constantly putting down contestants at their expense. I only watched the show because I always liked Card Sharks, not because I cared for Bob Eubanks. I guess John Davidson could have hosted it and I still would have watched it.

Well, since $ale predated and outlasted CBS CS, it's improbable that Jim would have even been considered for the revival.

Predated, yes. Outlasted, no (CS left one week after $otC did). On the other hand, $otC ran longer, which I guess does construe "outlasted."

I'll fess up and say I made a mistake, but wouldn't it have been interesting if Jim would have replaced Bob for that last week.

I suspect Goodson could have offered him the hosting gig for the syndie version, once it was known nighttime $otC wouldn't be renewed for that season. Whether Jim was considered is up for speculation.

I can't belive all the put downs with Eubanks version of CS! Would you rather have GSN pick up CS '01? Now that version WAS garbage.I guess the only thing I hated about Bob's version was the second car bonus game. At least you think they would have gotten better cars by then.

BTW very happy to see Perry's version back!

Too bad. I'll say it again: He was a jerk--just watch the finale.

Yes, out of sheer curiosity.

I've seen Bob's last CS. I know he blubber like an baby at the end.I guess the wise-crackin' was a bit much through.

Too bad Trivia Trap was doomed. I like Bob best on this show.

I've seen Eubanks' CS. While I like both themes, I dislike both hosts styles. Jim was too into the game and wasn't really talkative with contestants, Bob was the inverse of that: He talked WAY too much. While I do agree the Educated Guess questions were a good twist, the "panel of ten" questions took WAY too much game time out of it.

The set looked awful bare, paled in comparison to CS78's much better set. and I still dislike both car games. Why go from something slightly related to cards to ripping off a bonus game from a PREVIOUS Goodson show? that makes little sense. What was wrong with a car game that's like the main game and Money Cards?

But, I digress. I never saw a Rafferty-era CS (although, from what I've heard, he's kind of a mish-mash of both Perry and Eubanks), and thank god I've never seen an ep of the 2001 revival.

Overall, CS86 needed some improvements to really be better. CS78 is better in numerous ways.

How does crying at the end of the final show make the guy a jerk?

He never said it did. I'll bet you preferred Jim Caldwell to the Winker on Tic Tac Dough.

I think what Dsmith is saying is that Bob was extremely sarcastic and biting on the finale, just like with all the other episodes. To be honest, I liked CS86 the game, Bob was take-it-or-leave-it, I can see why folks found him to be a jerk. Instead of making the game fun for contestants, he liked to rag on them instead.

That being said, I'm cool with Perry CS coming back, but I kinda find it overrated on this board. The car game offered a little more variety to a repetitive game. Of course, I'd still watch Perry's version, esp. when I have that recurring nightmare that CS01 was really an actual series. ;-)
