Love it when everything is on the Turntables Incuding the Contestant Podium and also Main Game and the Money Cards.

Seeing this again makes me wish that SAS7 in Adelaide and TVW7 in Perth had gone to 24-hour transmission much sooner. 😉

The voice-over guy was Tony Gordon. He flicked the job onto me when he left to invest in floating pontoon marinas. True story!

Thank you for posting this! Had no idea U.D.G. went on to host his own show.

This show was based off a format in America under the title of "Card Sharks". It originally started airing on NBC daytime in April 1978 with host Jim Perry. That would last until October 1981. The show would be revived on CBS daytime in January 1986 with host Bob Eubanks. In September 1986, a daily syndicated show debuted with host Bill Rafferty. That version would last until June 1987. The daytime show would last until March 1989. A new daily syndicated show, with some differences from the previous versions, debuted in September 2001 with host Pat Bullard. That would only last until December 2001.

I think you're forgetting the UK version with Bruce Forsyth which ran from 1980 thru to mid 00's

@@MarkDynamix the US format came first though by a couple years, so it woulda been based off that originally.

Greg Palmer I think he meant not to correct him, but you were right in correcting him as it was a cigar and not a cigarette. 😃

In the U.K it is also called Play Your Cards Right.

@quizmaster85 Yes, I remember them very well indeed. I just wish they repeated them again today.

Never seen this before but nobody does it like brucie

This is a Grundy Organization/FremantleMedia production.

seems a bit ofa thing in aussie quiz shows that they use the American sets, but use our British titles same with Match Game and Blankety Blanks

@Tubewings Yes, it happened from time to time, but not very often.

Great to see this. Where do you get these classics? I would like to see more.

I think they did repeat airings in 1991 (pairing this with "Press Your Luck").

Funny thing that the Aussie version of Card Sharks had a similar set to the American version, but the same title as the British version.

I love ugly Dave grey

Obviously, got the night off from "Bunny's"

looks like the card sharks set.

Another game show like Blankety Blanks where they use a mix of American set/British title.

Have you forgotten Charles Nelson Reilly's pipe from 70's Match Game? If anything I'd say it's not a matter of nations but decades.

You mean Press Your Luck went to reruns and still is unaccounted for? Aargh.

In the Money Cards (or Money Game as it is called), was the minimum bet $10 until the winning couple got to the Big Bet?

Doesn't say, but that would make sense.

There’s a lot of breaks

So the top prize the players can win in the Money Game is $7200

The "Ugly" part came from his wife, who joked that Gray was so ugly, he made her look attractive.

Wait a tick...they actually interrupted a game during the turn of the cards? In the U.S., they games stopped AFTER a play at the cards.

There will be a reboot of Play Your Cards Right Australia on Nine Network in 2026-2036

I'm surprised that on austrailian game shows, they allow you to smoke but in american game shows they dont.

keep in mind it was 1984, I think it was still allowed in America at the time but I don't recall anyone who did at that time anyway. Groucho Marx would smoke a cigar while hosting you bet your life, and I'm sure I've seen Gary Moore smoke during I've got a secret but that was in the 50s.

And here is your host on Australia Play your Cards Right, Ugly Dave Gray, that not very nice, HaHaHa,

This is so bad, so dated of it’s time.

worst show ever.
