That's why it's great to see both shows on ABC now.

Brandon, if you're looking at Nicholas Mooneyhan's Card Sharks guide, this episode was originally aired on October 29, 1986. I'm not sure of this GSN airing of this CS episode but to the majority of us, the earliest known GSN airing of this episode was March 19, 2002, right around the time GSN started promoting the Vintage Squares and Win, Lose or Draw. Nicholas has got a lot of Card Sharks episodes that were rerun around that time(2001-02ish in GSN recordings). So it is Oct. 29, 1986.

The NBC Card Sharks, hosted by Jim Perry, never had the Car Game.

[@cutemimi25]

Let's face it the Joker game shown here is better than the 0 to 10 survey game.

[@Rlotpir1972]

The 0-10 range game was taken from 'Mindreaders'.

[@cutemimi25]

@@Rlotpir1972 I still prefer the Joker concept.
