Another possible reason for Susette's return happened in the very first category on June 9th: The judge didn't give her credit for HOMICIDE until the second time she said it, which was about one or two seconds later. Ah, did not catch that. Put HOMICIDE and WALLET together and yeah, that's enough to warrant bringing her back. |

14 times: THINGS THAT ARE SERVICED 13 times: INTIMATE THINGS THINGS SOLD BY THE QUART THINGS ON THE BOTTOM 11 times: SOLD BY THE POUND THINGS THAT ARE OBSOLETE THINGS THAT DEMONSTRATE 10 times: PERSISTENT THINGS THINGS THAT ARE CONFISCATED THINGS THAT ARE SALVAGED THINGS THAT ARE SCARCE BOTTOM, SALVAGED, and I think CONFISCATED are ones I've actually yet to see even once - either that or they're buried deep in my memory banks of episodes I don't remember very well.  (Possible I'm forgetting an instance of CONFISCATED, the other two I'm 99% sure I haven't seen.) Disregard, did see SALVAGED (followed by one with SERVICED), so yeah I clearly just don't remember these ones that well. OBSOLETE - another one with a post-mortem guess etched into my brain: Robin Riker receiving clues in the March 1988 tournament, OBSOLETE is what stopped Joyce Dixon from winning the 100 on Day 2, and Robin quickly gets it after on "an Edsel", much to everyone else's chagrin.  QUART - a note on this one: an instance where it was guessed but the $250 was taken back because Martha Smith said "your milk bottle", and you don't buy "a quart of milk bottles". (100K, 10/8/87) PERSISTENT THINGS - I thought I'd seen that one guessed, but upon double-checking...no, that was post-mortem too. But in that instance (100K, 10/5/87), that too could've been gotten with more time (only 5 seconds left when it was time for that one). While I was checking around, a few more popped in my head: IT MAKES YOU TINGLE THINGS THAT ARE ISSUED THINGS YOU ATTEND THINGS YOU INITIATE (the one that kept Heather Davis from the 100K right before Denise Bumbliss won it) I remember PERSISTENT THINGS. I think the best clue would be "a vegetative state." What do you think? With Denise, I also remember she actually guessed THINGS YOU CONSIDER in another attempt, which I do not recall seeing any other time. Do you remember that being guessed any other time? |

Just thought of something: Was this ever a Winner's Circle subject or front game category? NATURAL DISASTERS.

Hello Everyone,
Today in 1982, after a brief hiatus, the "Pyramid" Game Show returned to CBS as "The $25,000 Pyramid."
An even BIGGER milestone this year for the "Pyramid" was when the original series made its debut as "The $10,000 Pyramid" on the CBS Television Network on March 26, 1973, with Dick Clark as host; CBS cancelled the show after over a year, after which "Pyramid" was picked up by ABC as "The $20,000 Pyramid," airing until 1980, during which time Bill Cullen hosted a nighttime Syndication "$25,000 Pyramid" airing I believe either once a week or five times a week, I can't recall which exactly, someone respond either way; nevertheless, less than a year after ABC's "Pyramid" cancellation, in between it and CBS's "Pyramid" return, "The $50,000 Pyramid" aired weeknights in Syndication with Dick Clark at the helm, after which the show returned to CBS today in 1982; in 1985, while concurrently on CBS, "Pyramid" returned to nighttime Syndication as "The $100,000 Pyramid," syndicated by 20th Century Fox Television (now owned by The Walt Disney Company, though Sony Pictures Television owns the overall "Pyramid" rights as of 1994 when it purchased Bob Stewart Productions, the company of "Pyramid" creator Bob Stewart).
The original "Pyramid" lasted 15 years off and on until September 2, 1988, after which it was revived in January 1991 for less than a year with John Davidson as host of "The $100,000 Pyramid," Syndicated by Orbis Communications and later Multimedia Entertainment.
As I'm sure you all know, on April 18, 2012, the entertainment world lost a legend in Dick Clark, who died at his Malibu home of a Massive Heart Attack; per his Obituary, 24 hours earlier, on April 17, 2012, Dick Clark, 7 1/2 years after surviving a Massive Stroke and acquiring a Physical Disability as a result of it, had a Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) at St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica, California for what should have been a routine, outpatient TURP.
Instead, as noted above, 24 hours later, on April 18, 2012, Dick Clark, at 82 years old, 7 1/2 years after surviving his Stroke, had a Massive Heart Attack and Died at his Malibu home, survived by his widow Kari whom he married on July 7, 1977 (ironically, the Minister who married Dick Clark and Kari Wigton that day was John Davidson's real-life Father), as well as 3 grown children--including his eldest boy, Dick Clark, Jr., from his first marriage to teenage sweetheart Barbara Mallory, and younger fraternal twins Duane & Cindy Clark from his 2nd marriage to Loretta Martin, both of which ended in Divorce.
On a personal note, if MY name were Dick Clark, Jr. instead of Danny Hooley, I'd have IMMEDIATELY filed a Wrongful Death Lawsuit against St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica after the elder Dick Clark's passing, based on the belief that Dick Clark, at age 94 this November (having been born on November 30, 1929 in New York City, New York and raised in Mount Vernon, New York), would still be very much alive helping Ryan Seacrest "Rock in the New Year" each year instead of Ryan going it alone since Dick Clark's 2012 death had he NEVER had the TURP that, in my opinion, led to Dick Clark's Massive Heart Attack.
Therefore, like Joan Rivers' famous daughter Melissa did after Joan died due to complications from an Endoscopic Procedure in 2014 at a local Doctor's office in California, if I were Dick Clark, Jr. I too would have filed a Wrongful Death Lawsuit against the Hospital where the elder Dick Clark had his Outpatient TURP Procedure, hoping that, like Melissa Rivers eventually did I believe in 2016, Dick Clark, Jr. would settle out-of-court as Dick Clark's next of kin, because frankly, I smell, based on what I've read in various Obits of Dick Clark, a Massive Wrongful Death Lawsuit waiting to happen, and if I had been Dick Clark's Primary Care Doctor, I not only would have said No to the TURP, but FUCK NO!!!! and HELL NO!!!! to the TURP based on that.
Anyhow, back to "Pyramid": in today's world, you can see the current incarnation of "The $100,000 Pyramid" with retired NFL player Michael Strahan hosting the show on Sunday nights on the ABC Television Network, usually during the network's annual Summer of Games.

stevearino, please tell me you looked for the Pyramid thread before you made your anniversary post? There was one, and your thread's been merged to that one.

Just thought of something: Was this ever a Winner's Circle subject or front game category? NATURAL DISASTERS. How about these categories: THINGS THAT ARE SHORTENED THINGS THAT ARE CHRISTENED THINGS THAT ARE TIGHTENED |

I also have some ideas for categories:
THINGS THAT ARE DENIED (I saw APPROVED, but I do not recall seeing the opposite).
THINGS YOU RECOGNIZE (tournament category in my opinion)
KINDS OF THERAPY (easier)

pyramidfan Is this a contestant on other game shows example? I've read that a woman named Stephanie Beecham appeared as a contestant on The New $25,000 Pyramid with Markie Post & Richard Kline (during the week of February 6, 1984), and then appeared on the final week of Double Talk in December 1986. So, is this the same woman? Not to mention I've never seen anything from the final week of Double Talk other than the Friday episode until now, so this was a treat.

She actually spelled her name "Beauchamp," but it was pronounced like "Beecham."
There was an article about her "Pyramid" success in a newspaper from early 1984. In it, she mentioned that her husband didn't come to the studio because the show was taping on the day of the Super Bowl.

Does anyone know where the note below came from on the Bob Stewart "$20,000 Pyramid" Wiki? It's in reference to the Lani O'Grady/Robert Mandan week in April 1978. I ask because the note contradicts some info that I got from a newspaper article years ago.
On Friday, Contestant Shirley Haft won $20,000 (her 3rd chance in the Winner's Circle) with Robert Mandan

It can be confirmed that Week #217 of the CBS Daytime version was taped on October 10, 1986. A friend asked David Schwartz back in 2019 about the tape date of #1082.

I'd recommend to have them remain seasons 1 to 3. The current format of the $100,000 guide by season is exactly how GameTV reran 1987-88 (episodes 371 to 550) and then 1985-86 (first 190 episodes) I agree with leaving it as Seasons 1-3. A "Season 4" would make sense, even as representing a shortened season, if there was any sense of it standing on its own - but instead, all that last month is, is finishing up the current tournament period, then there's two "lame duck" episodes (so to speak) because the show was ending, and that's it. That very much doesn't stand on its own, and designating that as a "Season 4" would be practically the definition of arbitrary. Season 4 would not make sense unless they aired into 1989. The It seems to be a common thought that the seasons start in August. GSN never aired the 1985-1986 season after August 2000 except in certain new years eve marathons. When they aired the 1986-1987 season they always started with September 8 1986 not August 11 1986. The 1987-1988 season starts with the first episode to use announcer read fee plugs as opposed to mini commercials which is September 7 1987. August 17-21, 24-28 and August 31-September 4 all still have mini commercials. I have 2 episodes from August 24-28 and August 31-September 4 with the fee plugs in them. |

Who are some celebrity guests that you're surprised never appeared on Pyramid? And do we know of any celebrities who were to be on the show, but didn't pass the test beforehand?

(Possible I'm forgetting an instance of CONFISCATED, the other two I'm 99% sure I haven't seen.)
