I remember growing up with my grandparents watching this on the USA network... Bring back memories...

The look on his face when he picks the 'pig" category is funny because he's a cop!

[Pinman1000]

The show was aired Wednesday, September 22, 1982.

The set is a lot darker than it was later.

[nextbarker]

They should've called it THE NEW $25,000 PYRAMID right away.

[DannyBkyn]

I think it's kind of funny that the male contestant described "coward" as "somebody who dodges bullets". Well, I must be a coward, too! lol

[gameshowluvr86]

@DannyBkyn: Yeah, I thought that was kind of a stupid clue myself... lol. ;-)

[torchkit]

@DannyBkyn

Personally, I would use "somebody who dodges bullets" as a clue for "smart" not "coward."

For $25,000, 60 Seconds on the Clock Please, Here is your First Subject and... GO!

Dick's fake laugh at the beginning must have been his way of energizing himself.

The endgame trilons didn't turn white until mid-1983. The 7-11 debuted that spring as well.

[megamanj2004X]

1982 in TV saw these game shows:

- Child's Play w/ Bill Cullen (which incidentally aired after a version of Pyramid he once hosted)

- The revival of Tattletales w/ Bert Convy

- P+ and Blockbusters were cancelled in 1982

- 1982 saw shows such as Silver Spoons, Family Ties, Cheers, Newhart, Fame, Knight Rider, Remington Steele, TJ Hooker, and Capitol making their debuts.

This was before they included "New" in the title. This one is around the first week or two.

[catholicpriest1]

Dick always came out laughing....probably to pump hismsel up.

[Ddog2k3]

Does anybody have anymore of The $25,000 Pyramid from September 1982? Thanks. I love the pyramid game show.

[PsYcHoFaB]

I never knew that the category cards in the main game were blue.

[nextbarker]

Was this the premiere episode of The $25,000 Pyramid

[AdamStabelli666]

Any version of Pyramid is pure gold.

[DorvellTStewart]

They have a different bell! Not that it matters much, but what's up with that?

[nextbarker]

Does anyone have the first $25,000 winner?

[GameShowFanMan]

I do...I believe that the $25,000 wasn't won until sometime around the fourth week of shows

[nextbarker]

gameshowluvr86, you should've mentioned something about $100,000 Pyramid in 1985.

[Ivoryface86]

I would like to know how much money did the previous episode's champion win on the previous episode and is it true that this is a Thursday episode of the debut week of the $25K Pyramid?

[FBCDJ1620am]

they should have called it "NEW" from the beginning!

[gameshowluvr86]

I know, right?

[hdayejr]

Did you happen to record ones from the 80s marathon last month? Thanks to "Ike" I lost my power during the Card Sharks part of the marathon, and had to miss 25k

[gameshowluvr86]

I actually taped this in 2000. :) The '80s marathon didn't show this one, unfortunately.

[zachhoran]

1983 was Jackson's year. Only the Girl is Mine was on the charts from Michael in 1982(and Jermaine's Tickle Your Fancy) :)

[Matto2t]

That, and Michael's "Thriller" album from '82. (?)

[vnisanian2001]

It's interesting to note in this first week of 80s daytime shows the following things:

1) Black-"Jeopardy!" mics.

2) There was a nice wideshot of the set during the title card.

3) The bells from the New York City episodes are still there (they were there for the first 4 weeks of shows).

4) The frontgame trilons are blue (they were changed to white the following week).

5) They looked like they were filming in a cave in the earlier eps. (check out how dark it is!).
