Promo for The $100,000 Pyramid with John Davidson from 1/1991

I used to watch The $100,000 Pyramid on KLFY TV 10 Weekdays at 4.

I think that's the one!

Gosh, this all really takes me back to even more great childhood memories!

In Phoenix, AZ (I lived in Kingman at the time), the show started at 9:30 AM on KPHO (then indy, now CBS), replacing Tic-Tac Dough and following The Joker's Wild. Season two aired at the same time on KUTP (then indy, now MyNetwork).

Funny how they showed a clip from $25K Pyramid with Richard Moll, and a clip from the original $100K Pyramid with Brian Mitchell.

That clip was actually taken from an early 1985 episode of The $25,000 Pyramid, though. I think they just wanted a clip that really got people energized into watching the show.

Ah, I see that. But that was Andy Culpepper, Wasn't he?

[TexasTV]

You guessed correctly.

Before reading this I was just thinking, "wow, I didn't know Richard Moll was on this version. lol

[gameshowluvr86]

I know, right? lol...

[PTH4Fun]

Who is that @ 0:02?

[gameshowluvr86]

Richard Moll of NBC's Night Court.

He's even funny in 1-second intervals.

When I lived in Washington, DC at the time, it aired on WRC-TV channel 4.

And in both the bay Area and Sacramento, it was on KPIX (Jan-Sept 1991) and KOFY (Sept 1991-March 1992) while KXTV 10 (Then CBS, now ABC)carried the show at 3 PM.

I lived in New Mexico at the time during my pre-school years and my kindergarten years when I saw JD Pyramid.

They used to play the show twice a day:

1st time was around 9 or 10 in the morning on another channel (forgot which one it was), then they played it around 5:30PM (Mountain time) after Muppet Babies reruns and before Jeopardy! on their CBS-affilliate stations at the time.

WOWT-TV Channel 6 Omaha.

[gameshowluvr86]

Here in Dallas/Fort Worth, it came on at 11:30am on KXAS-TV NBC 5.

This was the lineup in my neck of the woods:

10:00am: Wheel of Fortune with Bob Goen and Vanna White.

10:30am: Classic Concentration with Alex Trebek.

11:00am: A Closer Look with Faith Daniels (NBC news magazine show).

11:30am: The $100,000 Pyramid with John Davidson.

12:00pm: Channel 5 News at Noon.

I remember it like it was yesterday... :-)

In NY, it didn't get cleared until the summer of 1991, when Long Island indie WLIG picked it up, airing it @ 5:30 PM...WNBC also picked it up for the 2nd season, but buried it in a 2:40 AM slot.

However, WVIT in nearby Hartford/New Britain ran it from the beginning, though they also dumped it in an overnight slot....funny, I saw it listed in TV Guide and up until the 91 Daytime Emmys, I thought they were just reruns of the 80s version!
