What’s This TV Show About?
An ABC game show from executive producers Scott St. John, Jack Martin, and Jennifer Mullin, Card Sharks is hosted by Joel McHale. Based on the card game Acey Deucey, two players face off on the series, each hoping to eliminate the other, with the goal of claiming a $10,000 cash prize and a chance for even bigger winnings. The winning contestant bets their prize on properly predicting the final seven cards of the game. The player’s final prize is the amount of money remaining in the bank after all the predictions have been made and the results are revealed.

Totally dumb….host looks like he just woke up. Contestants and cheering group act like they are playing Deal or No Deal. Over the top nut not in a good way.
Please bring a season 2.
We really enjoyed Card Sharks, we hope to see season 2….please!
Cards sharks is a good show should be renewed is good for the summer and the host is funny
Horrible contestants! Clearly chosen on how “amp’d” they act, mug for cameras & chew scenery. It’s fake, not interesting. I get the idea is for Joel to eye-roll about their annoying behavior. But irritating, over-acting contestants + sarcastic host who seems like he’d rather be somewhere else + an at-home audience who couldn’t blame him, does not equal fun TV. P.S. – The “sound effect” when the first card is turned: WTF? At best it’s like a deflating balloon, and at worst a suppressed fart.

Yes please renew
Card Sharks has great potential. Joel McHale seemed out of his element at first, but he will improve with time. I would like to see it have a Season 2. If they get a second season, here are a couple of changes I woke like to see: 1. In the Money Cards, getting the same card should result in a push where it won’t count against you. 2.

there is a $10,000 prize for winning the main game already
CANCEL It’s stupid!
