Card Sharks - Car Game (1987) 

Betcha the word CAR was behind all 7 cards! :)

Bill hosted a nighttime version of the show from 1986-1987 which aired in syndication.

This is my only all-time favorite moment of Card Sharks 1986. Hearing the WHOOPing sounds of victory after someone winning the car drowns out the sounds of an otherwise depressing theme song.

1:11 Is the word "car" behind #2? (Flips it to reveal the word "CAR"!) YES!!

Makes perfect sense to me. I wasn't aware that the 80's version of 'Card Sharks' aired on both CBS and in syndication at the same time until now. Thnaks!

Has anyone ever seen the current version of card sharks with Joel Mchale as host on channel 4(abc). I think that the current version of card sharks is just as exciting and hilarious as the original series from the 70s & 80s. Bryce Garrett.

They should have played the Cover Up/Make Your Move think music from TPIR when the contestant was picking the cards.

1:10 And behind number two is… May I have a drum roll, please? 1:14 Yes!

1:10 Is the word “Car” behind number 2? 1:14 YES!!!

They didn't replace Bill with Bob, there were 2 versions, Daytime with Bob (who was hosting TNG) and a nighttime version w. Bill seen here.

@beallhigh26 I loved what Bill Rafferty did with this version of card sharks! He's a gr8 host!!

That cue was also the theme for the short-lived "Match Game / Hollywood Squares Hour."

Bob Eubanks hosted the CBS version, while Bill Rafferty does the syndicated version of "Card Sharks" in the 1980s.

yes i do, i have some car wins from bob's version, with the jokers being placed on the 7cards and when they did that audience poll.

Hey I heard the the match game hollywood squares hour theme song

If I were to arrange my favorite hosts form most to least, #1 is Bob Euebanks, #2 is Jim Perry "R.I.P." #3 is Bill Rafferty "R.I.P." and #4 "aka the worst" is Pat Bullard.

What better song to use for the car description than the Match Game-Hollywood Squares Hour theme?

I prefer this car game compared to the later one that was used in the Bob Euebanks version (I didn't liked the 10 surveyed people one).

@billa107 I'm with you, Bill Rafferty was better than Bob Eubanks I mean, Bob was great on The Newlywed Game, but Card Sharks wasn't his cup of tea, IMO But Jim Perry will always be the master and so, my favorites are Hands Down Jim Perry and Bill Rafferty

nvm...I found out that it was the Match Game/Hollywood Squares Hour theme...and to think that someone else had already said that.

Good stuff.

@nextbarker Smaller budget. Not only that, but the nighttime also had more luxurious or sporty automobiles.

Lucky # 2.

What's the music cue that they used here when they described the car? They use it on TPIR all the time and it's the only one that I can't find on RU-vid so far.

Before she realizes she chose the correct card, she is asked why she chose the #2 card. She replies, “I just HAD a funny feeling.” Why wouldn’t she say, “I just HAVE a funny feeling.”? Did she know the outcome and it was a slip of the tongue?

makes two of us, I just thought Bill hosted in and they replaced him with Bob (who was far better anyway)

I don't know why the daytime show retired this car bonus game with the audience poll.

@JBTHREAT Me 2. He was da best host on CS.

I always liked this part of the game; Rafferty or Eubanks for a car (or Hawaii for kids). And I always make that famous cry John Davidson & Betty White would say... "On the count of 3. 1-2-3!"

@juan833blue True that!!!

When did bill rafferty host card sharks

It's time for the Match Game ... wrong gameshow

I hate to be a dick...But I liked Bill better than Bob. Only reason is I preferred Bob on the Newlywed Game.
