Card Sharks/Episode Guide/CBS/January to June 1988

January
No episode aired on January 1 due to coverage of the Tournament of Roses Parade.

''Charlie O'Donnell is at the mic for at least the first three weeks of 1988. He will have served five weeks of episodes filling in for Gene Wood. It could be implied that Gene Wood may have been in hospital during these tapings.''

''The educated guess reveals are seen without a pastel green border and are still in a bold Helvetica font. This would only be for one more week, and further proves that these next three weeks of episodes were taped before the two Christmas-themed Young People's Weeks were taped.''

''NOTE: It was likely after the January 25, 1988 episode is taped that the two Young People's Weeks aired from December 21 to 31, 1987 were taped. The episode numbering should be back on track as of January 26, 1988.''

Gene Wood is likely back at the mic by this point.

February
Charlie O'Donnell fills in for Gene Wood at the mic from February 29, 1988 to March 11, 1988.

March
Young People's Week XII runs from March 28, 1988 to April 1, 1988.

NOTE: Although Nicholas Mooneyhan does not show any information on his episode guide (which was virtually inactive since around July 2002) regarding the latter episodes of the upcoming Young People's Week, YouTube user thewhammy83 did upload the latter three episodes from that week in 2011, which allowed an opportunity to fill in the information that Mr. Mooneyhan was unable to fill in his episode guide.

June
''NOTE: It is rumored that during the week of June 6 to 10, 1988, Ray Combs would make a series of cameos to plug the new revival of Family Feud, which he would be hosting, and would premiere on CBS four weeks later. It would make sense to have such plugs for Family Feud, since it would allow enough time to get families on the show, as Feud was about to start taping by that point in the run.''
