Lost signal on Friday's 25K airing due to Hurricane Matthew. Anybody record it and is willing to upload it? I have someone I can contact on FB that I can request to provide last Friday's broadcast.. Thanks. Any luck? I'd hate to wait for the 2nd airing of the lease, if it gets that far. |

It looks like they're gonna continue to possibly July 1983, judging from the November 7 PDF (the one for October 31 didn't come out for some reason) for a 200 episode lease.

2/21/83 episode of New $25K Pyramid airing now on GSN has MOlly Fischer, who later was a production assistant on 80s Pyramid. Also the third and IIRC final week of their "time of the week" February 1983 experiment wherein the person who gets 7 out of 7 in the maingame in the fastest time wins a $6K trip to Greece(in 1983 dollars)

March 9, 1983 is today's GSN airing of $25K Pyramid. Charles, the new male contestant, was the relationship partner at the time of the contestant, Natalie Hirst(sp?), who had set the Winner's Circle record of 26 seconds with Billy Crystal in 1977(he said the time was 28 seconds, but Dick in the past had erroneously said 27 or 28 seconds for that WC time) The first game had a tie, and the first tiebreak round was 5-5, and they played a second tiebreaker which was pretty rare in the 1982-91 era of the fastest time in 30 seconds for 7 words wins. THey played the second tiebreaker, and added the teams' second tiebreaker scores to their first, which wasn't done in other occasions in 1982-91 where there was more than one tiebreaker round in a maingame(the three tiebreaker round episode with MIchael J. Fox later in 1983 notably). Charles won the first maingame round but didn't get $10K, winning $750 with Constance Mccashin after not getting things that Match. Charles did not win the second maingame with Nipsey RUssell, and his opponent won $400 in the second WC(and the Mystery 7 prize of a 19 Inch Color TV). CHarles will get another chance to break the WC record on tomorrow's 3/10/1983 episode. Constance on yesterday's episode mentioned she was a civilian on Pyramid but didn't mention how much she won or that she was on the Cullen version(she won $1950 due in part to them running out of time before they could play the second WC round because of multiple tiebreakers, so the two players split $2500, her civilian partner was Ed Asner)

Did they skip the Wednesday or Thursday episode of this current week? Now it is April Fools Day, which had the Main Game subjects loaded in backwards in Game 2.

Makes me wonder if there were any episodes skipped when GSN last aired the 1982-83 episodes of The $25,000 Pyramid during the late-90s and early-2000s? I wonder if that late-90s to 2001 lease may have been a 200-episode lease as well? I wonder if the lease may end up cutting off in August 1983 before reverting back to September 1982? |

I do have one question that may sort of relate to Pyramid...
On ABC, the night before The $25,000 Pyramid was launched on CBS, Dick Clark hosted Pac Preview Party, which showcased some of the newer Saturday morning cartoons to the ABC lineup premiering that fall. What I'd like to ask is, did Dick Clark plug the launch of The $25,000 Pyramid at the end of the Pac Preview Party?

The other two episodes that were recently skipped aired on GSN during the late 90s and early-2000s. Ditto USA, and I'd imagine this new skipped episode. This lease will probably go to July 1, 1983, assuming nothing more is skipped, and it really is 200 episodes. Still, no one answered my question. Was it Wednesday or Thursday that they skipped for this week? UPDATE: I just got a PM from Jennings Patterson that they skipped the Wednesday show. |

The original lease of the 1982-1983 episodes (1997-2001) was about 265. Zach Horan said back on alt.tv.game-shows some 15 years ago that GSN never showed anything after September 16, 1983. But they actually did. They ran the first six or seven episodes of the second year, and then rewound the clock back to the series premiere in 2000.
From 2001 to 2003, they switched over to the November 1987-July 1988 lease, which consisted of about 91 episodes (91/13 = 7), and was weekends only.

Vahan, the latest GSN showed before reverting back to the premiere was September 26, 1983. Have you forgotten that they aired the March 28, 1983 show but the March 29, 1983 show was pushed back to airing on February 6, 1999, that was because GSN had a Super Bowl Marathon which included 2 AFC vs. NFC QBs episodes of Family Feud from January 1994(filmed Nov. 1993 I think) and a couple of Super Bowl XXIII rematch episodes from early 1989(either February 20-24 or March 13-17, 1989 depending on how stations aired that very week) and the Monday Night Quarterback unsold pilot. The March 30, 1983 show based on Kris Lane's Pyramid collection was the last episode to rerun before the Dark Period ended resulting the return of the Goodson/Todman library and if there's any consolation, the March 30, 1983 show that was recently skipped, he and Jamie Locklin both have that episode in their collections so we're crossing our fingers to hope that Mr. Locklin posts that said episode in his page which also includes another tribute to Florence Henderson. |

Does Jamie Locklin's page even still exist? The two skipped episodes that have aired on GSN and USA before (October 27, 1982 and November 15, 1982) have found their way to Jason Cranmer's collection, so hopefully March 30, 1983 will follow suit. |

Well, this is very odd. Today, GSN is airing the Roxie Roker & Ken Kercheval week to ring in Christmas. Well, Friday.
Though I don't think this is a sign that we'll be getting Christmas and New Year's '84 Press Your Luck. If it was, we would have gotten them by now.

Now, GSN is airing the Anita Gillette & LeVar Burton week from February 7-11, 1983. This is stupidity to the extreme.
