Blackout | Finale, pt. 1

[Trackball816]

I remember seeing an intro to Blackout at the start of some TV movie a long time ago...if I remember correctly, it was playing on a TV inside a a booth some security guard would sit in. Except there was no guard there. And the camera panned away from the scene after only a few seconds anyway.

I wish I could remember the movie's name.

I wonder if the return of Pyramid from April to July 1988 was just filler until Family Feud could get several episodes in the can for air.

@SP84Fanatic Hmm...You make an interesting point.

[nextbarker]

You can't blame them, they loved $25,000 Pyramid for 6 years on CBS. Blackout was good, but Pyramid was better, no offense to TPIR.

Did you l;ike Blackout, mtiller2006?

[mtiller2006]

@nextbarker I was a newborn when this show was on, so I don't remember it. But when I see this show, I see a show that at least had some potential. I just feel the people didn't give it a fair chance because once it left, people were demanding Pyramid back

[nextbarker]

What made him commit suicide? he lost his daughter?

[pooka5472]

@nextbarker Yes, he lost his daughter. He also suffered from chronic, intractable back pain for years, reportedly due to frequent, heavy lifting through his work on "Let's Make a Deal."

[nextbarker]

Sounds like Jay Stewart had a little spunk announcing this show.

[nextbarker]

Anybody have the return of $25,000 Pyramid from April 4th, 1988?

[nextbarker]

How do you think Jay Stewart did with announcing this show?

[gshowguy]

@nextbarker He's not bad, but I thought Johnny Gilbert was better.

[johnissoevil]

The rebirth of the $25,000 Pyramid was at hand.

I'll bet nobody misses that speedy annoying voice (by Mrs. Jay Wolpert) at the opening of the show.

[Fartingbellybutton]

Also it's The Last time you Hear Jay Stewart on a Game Show.

[BlackwoodCompany]

@Fartingbellybutton What happened after that?

[Fartingbellybutton]

@BlackwoodCompany He Died
