To reboot or not to reboot

A commenter has been spamming various entries with an insistence that Card Sharks is the greatest game show ever.

We all know that Match Game's 1973-82 version really holds that title. But what the hey, a difference of opinion makes a horse race. Anyway, the commenter (and others) might be interested in a thread on the game show Reddit board that discusses a possible Card Sharks reboot. Some of the comments are sour and gloomy, but you never know.

In fact, none other than Fremantle CEO Jennifer Mullin has talked vaguely about a possible return of the acey-deucey fest. Buzzr even tried a live version of Card Sharks on their Facebook page, which didn't seem to impress too many viewers.

The most recent TV revival of the format was, of course, the Pat Bullard version in 2001. It died a quick and unlamented death. Card Sharks is hardly a personal favorite of mine, but the show has always had a vocal fanbase on the Interwebs. GSN and Buzzr both run old eps of the show, so maybe a revival is not out of the question at all.
