On March 31, 1989, just one week after the end of $ale of the Century and Super Password, Card Sharks says farewell.  Bob Eubanks gets teary eyed at the end.  Now You See It with Chuck Henry replaced Card Sharks, effective that following Monday.

Card Sharks returned in reruns multiple times on GSN.  It went first run for the first time in 12 years on September 17, 2001,  but the ratings were horrible and didn't even last beyond a full year..

In all March 1989 was a emotional month for GS fans.  Three Game Shows said farewell, 2 on NBC and 1 on CBS.

Luckily I didn't live where I live now, back in the '80s.

After August 4, 1980, the Harrisburg TV market missed out on every noon showing that NBC offered because "Noonday on 8" was moved from 12:30pm to noon. I'd have missed SP entirely, among others.

I remember calling for tickets to see this, figuring I'd catch a taping before it was cancelled.

I shouldn't have been suprised how fast it was pulled.

Enjoy lots and lots of backstage TPIR photos and other fun stuff here. And yes, I did park in Syd Vinnedge's parking spot at CBS

Ironically that was six days after the worst day in American history occured.
But I did remember when that happened when I was in eigth grade getting ready to go into ninth grade and taped it. I almost cried with him. Also the end of the game show era and the beginning of the talk show era.

Mark, you took the words right out of my mouth. But of course the whole "irony" discussion comes up every six months or so.

There was NOTHING ironic about that.

 I've said it before, and i'll say it again : You're developing a reputation here that isn't complimentary. You need to read more, and post less. That way, you might learn something.

Gee. I didn't know that 9/11 occured in March, 1989. Learn something everyday, don't you?

It took a few reads and a couple of vodkas, but you're going back six days from the 21st Century premiere of Card Sharks on Monday, September 17th 2001 with this "ironic comparison", aren't you?
Why do I have the feeling you'll be hanging out with Ralph Story sometime soon?

Well done, Don!  For the life of me, I couldn't figure out her statement, but I knew there was more to it than the others were seeing.  Thanks for clearing that up.

Yet another example of the importance of correct quoting.

I wasn't sure if Aaron was kidding or not with his question (I had figured out what Shelby had meant even without proper quoting), so I made the supposition that he was (hence my little joke--not the funniest, but then again it wasn't all that witty either).  If I confused anyone further with my remarks or seemed insensitive in any way, my apologies (and not my intention at all).

I actually wasn't kidding - she wasn't exactly specific in what she was quoting, so I actually thought she meant 3/25/89. I had to read her message a few more times before I realized she meant CS2001.
