The good old days of when the announcers would read all the fee plugs instead of putting commercials in those places. They began doing it the way they do it today in 1996.
GSN has responded to its viewers (many of them now former viewers) regarding the credit crunching and their response has been, in essence, this is OUR network and we don't care what you think. (Always remember that NBC was the inventor of credit crunching which reminds me. Aren't they still at the bottom of the network ratings? Gee, I wonder why?)
I agree - he made "Card Sharks", "Family Feud", and "Super Password" his own, just as my favorite announcer Johnny Olson did with "The Price Is Right", "Match Game", and "Body Language", among others.
they respect the anouncers work their just to lazy to show the end credits because they want to show ads we seen a hundred times like the baggage one !
@carchavtube I agree with you on that one - with the credit cut offs, speed-ups, and lack of classic on the network, I rarely watch it these days! I bet Gene Wood, Johnny Olson, Rod Roddy, and all of the other great announcers are rolling in their graves for what GSN is doing to tarnish their memory! So what if there was a plug for Turtle Wax - these greats did such a great job that you would buy anything that they told you about!
The more I think about the ending of Card Sharks and playing my favorite card game blackjack, the more I think about the Coronation of King Charles III in England this year. Hail, KING!👑🤴🇬🇧
@Noveltooner That's a great way to lose and alienate viewers! How many times can you watch a promo for a show you [still] don't care about?! "Card Sharks" is the only thing I watch these days, and when the show ends, I just mute the crunch.
@carchavtube I agree - GSN is a joke to those great emcees, as well as to game shows in general - what I wouldn't give for the days when the USA Network knew how to air a game show the RIGHT way!

@DENo1MatchGameFan I agree! GSN always cheats us out of hearing the music at the end, just to remind us to watch a program that we NEVER cared for in the first place! And when they finish their promo, they jump right to the next show! They seem to be alienating game show purists, and fans. They aren't fooling anybody.
BUZZR's better, where at the least we get the Goodson (Todman) logos, but a lot of shows have the closing fee plugs edited out (many episodes of Super Password and Card Sharks '86 are known to have their fee plugs zapped). But there was an episode of What's My Line? from 1973 (with a 1972 copyright of a show taped early in 1973) featuring Bill Todman's last known appearance, where the first time they aired it, the full closing with the G-T logo was shown, but last time, the whole credits were missing.
Yes, "Suzanne" was Mark Goodson's wife at the time Card Sharks originally premiered (Suzanne Russell Waddell, to be exact). They divorced in 1980, but I believe the copyright was changed to MG Productions the year before that.
@@michaelglickman1300 "Suzanne Productions" also appears as a tax-dummy company on the 1975 Milton Bradley board game version of "Now You See It". Then, "MG Productions" was also the first hints of the company's switch from MG-BT over to Mark Goodson (Television) Productions a few years into the '80s. I'd imagine the switch over to MG Productions (at the end of 1978 actually) probably meant an estranged relationship prior to the divorce, as well as the fact that Bill Todman had basically been just "Vice President Emeritus" to simply collect checks, even though his brother Howard was still active with G-T as treasurer at the time he passed away. The Jack Narz version of Concentration was the last to have a specific G-T refrence with "G-T Programs, Inc." Chester Feldman by this time was Vice President of G-T, where Bill Todman once held that role (and later Bud Austin, before he teamed up with Jay Wolpert to split with their own company much like what Bob Stewart did back in the sixties.
@megamanj2004X and also, 1978 was the year that the late Art Fleming returned as the host of JEOPARDY! and plus, the set was designed by Henry C. Lickel who was the same guy that designed the set to Double Dare w/Alex Trebek and Family Feud w/Richard Dawson and although the Ray Combs Set and Eubanks' Set of Card Sharks have their fans, I personally prefer Jim Perry's Set of Card Sharks and Richard Dawson's Original Set of Family Feud
@DENo1MatchGameFan Don't forget the hosts, too, like Ray Combs, Jack Narz, Peter Tomarken, Jack Barry, and Bert Convy. And what about the Kids Zone? GSN was cool back when, but now...
@DENo1MatchGameFan Let's not forget, CBN (which is now abc family) aired reruns of Card Sharks w/Jim Perry as well as other Classic Game Shows and they NEVER crunched credits, but when it became Fox Family, that's when they started crunching credits, but thankfully, Boomerang doesn't crunch credits either
@32rodrick wrong again, it was Videotaped @ NBC Studios Burbank, CA which was the home to many TV Shows including Chain Reaction w/Bill Cullen, JEOPARDY! w/Art Fleming, Password Plus, Super Password, GO w/Kevin O'Connell, Blockbusters, Classic Concentration, $ale of the Century, SCRABBLE, Time Machine, Your Number's Up, Word Play, Celebrity Sweepstakes, High Rollers, Battlestars, Dream House w/Bob Eubanks and of course, Wheel of Fortune w/Chuck Woolery, Pat Sajak, Susan Stafford and Vanna White
@Noveltooner yep, you got that right! NBC started the whole mess for nothing. The infamous NBC 2000, which started around the 1994-95 TV season at the least if not that season then sometime in the 1993-94 TV season.
And also these shows: The All-New Popeye Hour, WKRP in Cincinnati, The White Shadow, and Dallas debuted on CBS while Mork and Mindy, Fantasy Island, the original Battlestar Galactica, Vega$, and Taxi (which later moved to NBC in 1982) debuted on ABC & Fantastic Four, Project UFO, Diff'rent Strokes (which later moved to ABC in 1985), David Cassidy: Man Undecover debuted on NBC.
He certainly did direct the NBC version. I have about 40 crunched full credit rolls with his name on it. He was also the reason why CS came to NBC in the first place (because Mark Goodson didn't like any other director to direct the show in the beginning).
RIP James Edward (Jim Perry) Dooley!
Too bad GSN doesn't respect the announcers' work on game shows anymore - RIP Gene Wood - you were loved by a lot of people!

rest in peace JIM PERRY
Is it sad to say I wanna live in the 1970's to watch old game shows ...

Yes, and even Jay Stewart and Charlie O'Donnell are also rollin' out of their graves as to what GSN has become
Miss you
@tnawcwvictoria Also Antenna TV doesn't crunch their credits, and don't even do voiceovers - now that's one classy network!

At this rate, GSN would paint a moustache on the "Mona Lisa," and a thong on the Statue of Liberty, too!

@carchavtube It was a common practice at the time. It was, right or wrong, seen as taking the Lord's name in vain.

oh yeah and baggage SUCKS !
I love these closing credits. It brings a tear to my eye. 😂😢😭😢😭😢😢😢😭
😭The music and lights does the same for me.😭
😭TV is NOT the same as it was when I was a child!😭
Stay tuned for The Hollywood Squares next on NBC

Can't wait to see it - I'm sure you'll do ol' Gene-O proud!
@carchavtube I do you one better-- I fast-forward through it! (I have it on a regular schedule on DVR.)
Gene is one of my favorite announcers!
Stay tuned for The Hollywood Squares next on NBC
Oh, and by the way, why do they censor a contestant when they say "Oh My God!"?
Probably because political correctness was starting to get into everything.
And also these shows:
The All-New Popeye Hour, WKRP in Cincinnati, The White Shadow, and Dallas debuted on CBS while Mork and Mindy, Fantasy Island, the original Battlestar Galactica, Vega$, and Taxi (which later moved to NBC in 1982) debuted on ABC & Fantastic Four, Project UFO, Diff'rent Strokes (which later moved to ABC in 1985), David Cassidy: Man Undecover debuted on NBC.
Who's Suzanne?
This is Craig’s 7th and final match.
@tnawcwvictoria and the home to the long-running Days of Our Lives and The Tonight Show w/ the late, great king of late night in Johnny Carson.
GSN, there is a time to promote yourselves, THEY'RE CALLED COMMERCIAL BREAKS!
He certainly did direct the NBC version. I have about 40 crunched full credit rolls with his name on it. He was also the reason why CS came to NBC in the first place (because Mark Goodson didn't like any other director to direct the show in the beginning).
Then It Got Moved To CBS Later
This is Craig’s 7th and final match against Lore.
Marc Breslow must've been busy with Price & MG to direct this particular week.
One day I'm gonna do a video voice clip of Gene Wood.
GSN blows.
Period.
End of story.
Well @ least WGN America still shows their credits and Production Logos unlike GSN from time to time.
No offence to you though.
