Is that Henry from Double Talk Game Show

[Tubewings]

Mary Cadorette...she was the celebrity during the infamous "Things Below the Waist" bit on $100K, right?

[gameshowluvr86]

Yup yup... :-)

[sommerssmith]

The clue for pregency on how long probably would've been a good example for the Double Trouble category during John Davidson's era.

I miss the classic Pyramid game show with Dick Clark.

That was Nipsey's second $25,000 win in the intros. do you have it in full, gameshowluv86?

[DorvellTStewart]

When did the pyramid intros start with showing clips of people who won $25,000.00?

[johnnysama]

September 19, 1983.

[gameshowluvr86]

Nice catch! :-)

[gamshwfan]

Exciting game so far. Generic in the least; even with a tie. SOmetimes we can see excitement but sometimes in the same shape of form as another.

Was this Henry's first Pyramid appearance?

[vnisanian2001]

No, his first week was with Patty Duke, during the week of December 10, 1984. He started out okay at first, but then improved overtime.

WGN aired a two-hour block of reruns of Three's a Crowd on Monday night 10/27

[megamanj2007]

Also, w/ that clip of Nipsey Russell in the WC, did he appear on the '80s $25K Pyramid and/or $100K Pyramid in 1985 and promote his Bob Stewart/Sande Stewart-created GS called "Your Number's Up!" (which coincidentally premiered in September of '85)?

[vnisanian2001]

when he was doing "Your

Nipsey did appear on the $100K version once with Teresa Ganzel, when he was doing "Your Number's Up"

[vnisanian2001]

Sorry for posting that incomplete statement: I should have said that Nipsey, when he was doing "Your Number's Up", never did the $25K version, but did do the $100K version with Teresa Ganzel, while he was hosting that show.

And it was the only time he was ever billed as "From Your Number's Up" on the show.

[megamanj2007]

This was one of the very few times I've heard someone bill Henry Polic II as just plain Henry Polic, minus the second.

This was also one year before Bob Stewart decided to give Henry Polic his own GS in "Double Talk" on ABC.

If I hosted my owned version of The $25,000 Pyramid here`s how the dollar vaules should go in the Winner`s Circle

First Row:$100

Second Row:$200

Third & Final Row:$250

[vnisanian2001]

That's the first time I've ever heard Mary be billed as "From Three's a Crowd" on the show.

[gameshowluvr86]

Mary and Patty were hot... haha. They both seemed to have that "'80s girl next door" aura about them.

[vnisanian2001]

I may be wrong about this one, but I think this was also the first time that Mary began sporting bigger hair. On her last "Super Password" appearance, which also aired on this same week, she still had her old hair style. After seeing clips of her with both hair styles, I'd say that looks a lot prettier with the bigger hair IMHO. Really defies the nostalgia that was the 80's.

[gameshowluvr86]

Remember her 1987 $100,000 Pyramid appearances with Nathan Cook? Both her, and contestant Marilyn Evans had like the big, '80s Texas beauty pageant hair goin' lol.

[vnisanian2001]

LOL! Exactly right.

And also, both had the big shoulder pads going on at the time, as well.

There was no other fashion that fit the 80's like a glove so beautifully more so than big hair and shoulder pads. :)
