Card Sharks (franchise)
Card Sharks is a game show that originally aired in the United States on various broadcasters. Its success in the U.S. led to it becoming a worldwide franchise as the show was adapted and recreated in several other countries.
The most significant difference in gameplay for foreign formats of Card Sharks was the use of married couples instead of individual contestants (except the U.S., Brazilian, Greek, and Portuguese versions, which only featured individual contestants). All global versions of Card Sharks (except the U.S., Brazil, and Greece) were mostly produced by Reg Grundy.
