I wholeheartedly agree. The new Pyramid with Donnie Osmond is a joke. I liked when the subjects flipped. I liked when the clock ticked to give some suspense. I much prefered when the time was 30 seconds in the regular games and seven clues instead of 20 secs. and six clues. I miss the days of the 7-11 and the Mystery 7. Even the theme song was wonderful! I miss the $100,000 Pyramid!
The applause after every correct answer always drove me nuts. The contestants had to wait a second or two for it to die down before they could resume... and sometimes, they could have used those extra seconds.
I completely agree!!!! I hate Donnie's Pyramid...the set is aweful, I hate the monitors rather than having the subjects flipping, and no suspenseful clock tick for the countdown in the winner's circle...the new Pyramid is awful!..retro set and new host would do! And Billy Crystal is definitely one of the best! :)....maybe he should host it!!
There's an old saying, "More fun than a barrel of monkeys". There's also a children's game with the same name...and if you've seen the movie Toy Story, the Barrel of Monkeys makes an appearance. :) Go Billy!
Clue: Billy Crystal
Answer: God @ Pyramid

26 seconds was the best of course. 31 seconds isn't bad either.

Billy Crystal is one hell of a Pyramid player. The new Pyramid with Donnie Osmond is a fucking joke compared to this.

Donny would still do pretty good, really.
Dick just won't do today, really, mostly because of that stroke.

And here I was thinking that I was the only one who missed the old clock! I can't watch Pyramid these days, and that is a sad, sad thing.

Should they ever revive "Pyramid" again, Billy Crystal shold host it. I like "ajkells22"'s idea.

Yeah, "Barrel O' Monkeys" was a popular game when I was a kid in the `70s.

There's really no difference - He was fast, but could've been faster had he not delayed on the last subject.

What Richard Dawson was to Match Game, Billy Crystal was to Pyramid, no doubt.
