An eerie glimpse into a young world where Pyramid was new. And, nobody really knew how to play.

Nice to know that the premiere had a win.

There are so many positive comments I can make about this early clip of "Pyramid;" the drama of the big money, Bob Stewart's genius, etc. But what really hits me on this clip is how Dick Clark OWNED "Pyramid" from the very begining. He took total ownership of the hosting duties, the same way he did with "Bandstand."

I think 90 seconds would've worked for 10 subjects. Also, when did they get rid of the door that concealed the endgame Pyramid? Lastly, I think I remember hearing the first piece of music in the intro during some PSA of that era. Anyone know which one?

she was absolutely AWFUL at this game!

@GSNSmashFan3 I like the idea of 10 boxes (maybe 100 seconds) to win it. I could also seeing that being harder since you must have all to win.

@GSNSmashFan3 And then started to regret it when, first show, first winner's circle, 10,000 smackers.

One thing I wish they had brought over from the original. Best game show intro reveal EVER.

I freaking LOVE Bob Clayton's introduction to this show.

@maclovindotca

I noticed that too. I read that they were originally going to have another four boxes worth $25 each, but removed them after realizing that'd make it impossible to win.

[maclovindotca]

Somebody commented that the pyramid originally had 10 subjects. If you look closely at the pyramid it does look like there would be a fourth row. Any thoughts ?

@tgauer1:

I'm glad to see someone else recognized Bob Clayton as the announcer! I'm sure you remember him as the successor to Hugh Downs as host of "Concentration."
