I love the original product promos at the end of this episode. I love the film look of commercials of that time period. Commercials look so cheap to me these days.
This was a good episode here. It might have ignited one of several battles between Charles and Marki on the pyramid. It was good rivalry that wasn't acknowledged at all. Mel and her oppoenent were tough competitors but Mel pulled it off. Charles may have to do some practicing but Marki rules the day for now. This is a 4 star episode since it had good gameplay but a little less suspense than usual.
And Christine and Riverside will meet again 3 years later on the premiere week of "Blackout", which replaced "The $25,000 Pyramid", but will soon be replaced by the same show.
I remember when GSN used to air the original commercials that aired after the announcer said "some of our contestants will receive..." I liked seeing these commercials because some of them first aired before I was born. I vaguely recall a 7-up commercial and a bubble gum commercial from a 1986 episode (that was the year I was born).
The 7-up ad was "Feels so good coming down", where the people in the ad were walking in the rain. I also loved hearing the audience clap with the theme - reminded me of the ending of Richard Dawson's original version of "Family Feud."
Yes, Dick Clark's $100K Pyramid was INDEED originally syndicated and distributed by 20th Century Fox Television, b/c I saw that ending when USA reran the Clark $100K Pyramid in the '90s.
Whatever happened to Shasta?
