Card Sharks/Episode Guide/CBS/July to December 1987

July
''NOTE: Card Sharks was most likely pre-empted from July 27 to August 5, 1987 due to coverage of the Iran/Contra hearings.

It is believed that some taping weeks after the Iran-Contra hearings were over, had three and/or four episodes taped in a week for a few weeks in order to get back on track so that a new audience polling group would appear every Monday by the fall.''

October
''NOTE: It is rumored that Eps. 463 and 464 (October 30 and November 2, 1987) were both skipped by GSN.''

November
''NOTE: November 23 to 25, 1987 was Young People's Week. Card Sharks was pre-empted on November 26 and 27, 1987 for Thanksgiving weekend.''

Also, according to someone's episode collection which apparently shows contestants' appearances in clusters based on their run, it appears that the match between Carli vs. Mike was within a cluster of the other Young People's Week episodes, which could imply that the match between Brandon vs. Nicole from February 20, 1987 continued from where it left off sometime in the summer of 1987 (most likely by the end of August).

December
''NOTE: There is speculation from a YouTube user that the next two weeks of episodes may have been designated as #513 to #521, which were, of course, Young Peoples' Weeks. If true, these episodes were likely taped after the first nine episodes of 1988 were taped. The episode numbers will be changed if PDF schedules in the distant future disprove such claim.'' As Young Peoples' Week continues, Bob Goen does a series of cameos for the week of December 28 to 31, 1987 to plug his game show disaster Blackout which would premiere the following Monday, January 4, 1988.
