Title: Card Sharks
Post by: gsfan85 on November 25, 2012, 01:35:05 PM
Hi everyone,

It seems that GSN is skipping episodes 262 and 264 of Card Sharks.  Wednesday's show (last one aired) was 261, Monday's will be 263, and Tuesday's will be 265.

Anyone know why?
Thanks!
Adam

I would love to see just one official source that that's ever been a reason for GSN's skips, or (as I'm more likely to believe) that it's mere presumption.

For once, I'd like to see you actually give a definitive, factual answer, instead of another one of your "guesses".

Moving on...

http://web.archive.o.../csguide79.html (http://\"http://web.archive.org/web/20081226213659/http://members.fortunecity.com/gswarehouse/csguide79.html\")

I noticed a lot of errors in this guide. First off, not only is the episode count one away from the actual number for the first half of 1979, but some of the dates are missing. The date from 7/9/79 is missing, as is 9/21/79, and CS didn't air on 9/23/79.

And finally, given that GSN typically does 200 episode leases for non-original programming, it doesn't look like they will be showing the Christmas episodes from 1979. I even checked the available PDFs, and it doesn't look like they will be interrupting the regular airings to show them.

Well, why else do you think GSN would skip 262 and 264? Political correctness? Some other controversial reasons?

Tape damage could very well be the reason, but there's no proof to back that claim up.  And without said proof, you shouldn't claim that to be the reason so matter-of-factly. The simple answer is that you don't know the reason those episodes are being skipped... and neither do I. Probably the only people who do are currently employed in Culver City.

So not only do you look like a clueless nimrod, you also look like a damn 6-year-old. And you wonder why no one on this forum takes you seriously.

Typing in all capital letters is indeed obnoxious.  Way to prove their point, genius.

Dude, this isn't the GSN board where the moderator will stand by idly and let you make up "facts" when you clearly have nothing to back them up with.  I humbly suggest you learn this before you make yourself look like a boob for the 50th time.

Not a problem, my good friend Salman has a place where we can hide.

Now to prevent this from being a total threadjack, this is all speculation, but could the skipped episodes have aired in a short week (i.e. Thanksgiving or something preempted by news coverage)? Hasn't GSN skipped eps. like that to keep the consistency from being thrown off? Again, ex rectum, but I hate to see a valid question thrown off.

It has come to my realization, that many people here are some of the most hateful and intolerant I have ever dealt with. What did I do deserve such responses like this? All I did was give my thoughts as to why two episodes of a 30+ year old game show will be skipped over, and immediately, I get called out, and the Zach Horan comparisons start. I never stated it as right or wrong. Never.

Then again, why should I be surprised. These are the same people who celebrate copyright nazis like Edgar Bronfman Jr., ignoring his false copyright claims, won't let you speak fondly of any Republican candidates running for election or reelection, uses inane, moronic and less funny memes each time they get used like cease to exist, proof or not real, etc.

I'm nearly this close to losing all faith I had with this site when I first joined here 5 years ago. Up until a year ago, I never had a meltdown on these forums, and I honestly lost count as to how many I've had here so far.

You've been told why you receive the backlash that you do, and yet you continue to ignore it. No one dislikes your explanations or the fact that you're a Republican...they dislike the fact that you consistently talk out of your ass, treat your opinions as the honest to goodness gospel, refuse to listen to anyone and then play the martyr card in the end with some of the most asinine logic I have ever seen in my life. Remember when you were advised to stay out of the political discussion because you didn't know what you were talking about? The same idea applies to any other discussion here, or in real life.

You remind me of another former poster who was banned for making similar idiotic victim card rants, and no it wasn't Horan. But yeah, you're like him too.

If you don't like it, please, do everyone a favor and leave. Your obnoxious, self-righteous antics are not needed, and would make a lot more threads easier to read, especially when you decide to take your ball and go home every time things don't go your way.

OK, Zach.

Where exactly have we been "intolerant"? I think we've been overly tolerant of your boolsh and shenanigans. All you do is spread your keyboard feces here, and we're supposed to hold up our gruel bowl, smile and say "please sir, can we have some more?"

I'm sorry, but this couldn't be any further from the truth.  From what I can tell, you have unfettered posting priveleges, meaning you can post whatever you like.  Just because people disagree with you doesn't mean you can't "speak fondly".  One more example of you talking out of your ass.

Yes. Somewhere in the above quoted post he said "Zach Horan." You brought it up. On top of that, yelling really gets the point across. I'm glad you're taking the consideration for people who can't see.

"I think" would've been the choice of words to use. You said "more likely than not" as if it had the greatest chance of being correct. That's just as bad.

If I say that I thought I read something in the Nat'l Enquirer about Martin Van Buren taking cabinet meetings in the nude and he'd smear raspberry preserves on his belly when he got bored, does saying "I think" save me from legal action? No, it wouldn't. The problem isn't whether he says "I think" or not, it's that he's spouting nonsense. Appending boilerplate to nonsense does not make it more sensical.

Hi everyone,

It seems that GSN is skipping episodes 262 and 264 of Card Sharks.  Wednesday's show (last one aired) was 261, Monday's will be 263, and Tuesday's will be 265.

Anyone know why?
Thanks!

My advice is to contact GSN directly. In all likelihood nobody here (outside of GSN) knows the answer.

+1 to internets.

A) I wouldn't generally classify something like "cease to exist" as a meme.  More of a saying.
B) What's wrong with memes?  I find them to be one of the best ways to spread humor and joy into the conversation.  Like this for example:

Going to try this with a little different tact here:

Why have a meltdown about an internet forum?  I get more pissed off about bad customer service because, well, it affects me because I've put time and money into it.

I post on here and if I get called on it, I get called on it.  However, I'm not going to let it ruin my day.
