Card Sharks is an American television show that originally aired from 1978 to 1981 on NBC and from 1986 to 1989 in syndication. The show was revived by FremantleMedia North America in 2019 and aired on BUZZR with Jim Perry as the host. The show is a game of chance where contestants predict whether the next card in a row will be higher or lower than the previous card.

The show begins with an opening of Jim Perry introducing the show and the contestants. The set is designed for two players to sit opposite each other with a vertical game board and a standard deck of 52 playing cards on a table in between them. The game board has seven rows of cards, with the first row containing one card, the second row containing two cards, and so on. The objective of the game is to guess whether the next card in the row is higher or lower than the previous card.

The contestants begin the game by choosing a card from the first row. Jim Perry reads out a question related to a survey and gives two possible answers. The contestant must then choose an answer and guess whether the result is higher or lower than the card they picked. If their guess is correct, they advance to the next row, and a new question is asked for the contestant to choose from. The higher the row the contestant gets to, the more money they will win.

If a contestant makes a wrong guess, they lose their prize money and the other contestant gets a chance to play. The next contestant will start from the row the previous contestant left and can change the card from the last player. If the card is guessed correctly, they continue to the next row and get a chance to answer the survey question.

The game continues until one contestant wins three rounds, at which point they become the champion and face the Money Cards bonus round. Before starting the Money Cards round, the contestant must decide whether to keep their winnings from the regular game or risk them all for a chance to win more.

In the Money Cards round, the contestant is given $200 to start with and is presented with seven cards, with the first card facing up. The contestant must then predict whether the next card in the sequence will be higher or lower than the current card. The amounts that can be won are doubled after each round, and the contestant must continue until all seven cards are revealed or they make a wrong guess, at which point they lose all their winnings for that round.

The show is known for its suspenseful gameplay, with contestants trying to correctly guess whether the next card will be higher or lower. The show became a popular game show during the late 1970s and early 1980s, and the revival in 2019 has brought a new audience to the show.

In conclusion, Card Sharks is a game show where the contestants must correctly guess whether the next card in a row is higher or lower than the previous card. The show is known for its suspense and excitement, and the revival with Jim Perry from FremantleMedia North America / BUZZR has brought the classic game show to a new generation of viewers.

Card Sharks with Jim Perry is a series that ran for 2 seasons (80 episodes) between April 24, 1978 and on FremantleMedia North America / BUZZR
