ISnt that the winning bell they used on

The 20.000 Pyramid?

[DISCOVEGASGUY]

@puppyshoes That was very observant ! That was indeed a very similar sound effect "bell" dated back to the 70's version of Pyramids. Interesting how they used it in this particular daytime 80's version. A rarity indeed. That bell, indicating a correct answer, was actually used throughout the entire syndicated night-time version of $25,000 Pyramid with Bill Cullen.

[tyrese3745]

@puppyshoes Yes it was.

[PatrioticPirate]

@puppyshoes YES! It sounded like a desk bell! I didn't even notice it until I say YOUR post!

[tyrese3745]

@puppyshoes Somewhat, yes.

[barber215]

fabulous! absolutely fabulous!

I wonder if from 1:28-1:40 has made it to the flashback montages. Does anybody remember this win in one of the flashback intros? I think this if I'm not mistaken was seen as a flashback when John Goss was a contestant on this show a year later.

CONSERVATIVE was tricky.

@nextbarker

Ronald Reagan's political ideology.

WOW, Constance was a Machine on Clark's $25,000 Pyramid, Jamie Farr helped 2 contestants win $10,000 on John Davidson's $100,000 Pyramid.

and also, Leeza Gibbons on The All New Pyramid w/Donny Osmond has also helped 2 contestants win $10,000 as well.

It's amazing that she aquainted the Republican Party with "conservative things" today that clue woun't be as useful.

My father is an old school republican and he is a conservative. Mit Romney is an old school and he is a conservative, Ron Paul is an old school conservative, but by-in-large the party has lost it focus.

[WastedPo]

Constance was a friggin' machine this entire episode.

[excuseyou77]

This is one of my favorite $10,000 wins... ever.

[gameshowluvr86]

Pretty epic, right? :D

[catwalkcanada]

This was a pleasure to see. Constance McCashin always seemed so stiff and unhappy to be on the later shows I've seen on GSN ($100K version from around 86-87). She was a wicked player, no doubt, so I'm glad to have seen this happy side of her. Thank you so much for posting.

[dpsulliv]

Well I'd be unhappy if they killed my ass off of KNOTS LANDING just when it started getting good!

[vnisanian2001]

Although Constance did leave the show in 1987, somehow, that didn't stop her from appearing on Pyramid once more (she did the $100K version in 1988), on "Win Lose or Draw", also in 1988, and on "Super Password", yet again in 1988. I don't think she's done another game show since then; someone please correct me if I'm wrong here.

[gameshowluvr86]

She was also on The $100,000 Pyramid in early '87, too. Remember? With Richard Kline of Three's Company? ;)

[vnisanian2001]

Both Constance McCashin and Richard Kline have one thing in common. You know what it is? It's being a contestant on "Pyramid". Constance was a contestant on the original $25K Pyramid with Ed Asner, and Richard was a contestant on the $10K Pyramid with Steve Allen in 1974

[D21howie]

You are right vnisanian. I think when they did the Knots Landing reunion she did not want her face shown on one of the clips they showed. She is now a psychologist I think.

[videochis]

And plus, the weather vane-like clock display was HUGE compared to later shows...

[Matto2t]

Hi!

I, too had seen that the clock's size was large. And, yes, it was smaller in later shows, I do know that for sure.

[megamanj2007]

Also, in these very EARLY '80s Pyramid eps., they used a much different font for displaying wins.

[Matto2t]

I noticed that myself. I think someone had commented that this font for the $10,000 graphic was used during the first week of this version of the show, then started using a different style for the graphic from the next week on. I think this font that we see in this video is Helvetica. I have this font on a fonts CD, but it has a different name. I don't know what the name of the other font is that was used for the $10,000/$25,000 graphic. Have you any ideas???

-Matt

[megamanj2007]

I think the font is a variation of the Bookman Old Style font, though I'm not sure.

I do know that font for the closing credits used from 1982-either sometime in '84 or '85 are similar to the font used on the ABC sitcom "Just the Ten of Us."
