The $10,000 Pyramid (1973) PT. 2

Here comes part two of the TV game show sensation that made creator Bob Stewart a wealthy man (not to mention some of the contestants), The $10,000 Pyramid. Coming from the week of 11/12/73-11/16/73, and co-starring Sandy Duncan (from Roots and The Hogan Family), and Ed Asner (from the classic Mary Tyler Moore Show). It's Winner's Circle time, guys, and Joan is sitting below the glorious $10,000 Pyramid. Can Ed Asner lead his partner to all the cash? Let's watch, ok? Ok.

For "Fictional Places" I would have said "the land of Oz....", or "Superman's Metropolis...."

Brigadoon. Atlantis.

Good! How about "Shakespeare's Camelot...?"

Well. The winner circle may have seemed easy in the early days; the subject seem a bit easy but try describing them under time constraints I dare you. Ed was doing his best and Joan was doing her best but even the best of us can screw up; it's all about how we handle it that's important. SOme of us will throw the chair and some will just admit their mistake and apologize; the latter is better.

You're right, I think he did! One way or another the buzzing was entirely correct.

Celebs may have gotten away on some shows with hand gestures, but when the series moved to ABC, Bob Stewart was not having it anymore. Despite being a rating hit on CBS, it kinda gave too much of the $10,000 away. Besides, this country was going through a bad economy recession, with gasoline prices abnormally high, as well as the Watergate scandal.

Xanadu, 221 B Baker St.,....

He should have been beeped for Arab nations.

That's just it;one can get wrapped it in their descriptions and even though Dick Clark would warn them they'd be buzzed for giving too much description,it would be super easy to forget in the heat of the moment.

[landrykkb]

It was only on CBS for one season until it moved to ABC for at least 6.

[spxmet]

Nowadays the clue would've been Quahog.

This aired November 16, 1973.

He was buzzed because Galahad isn't a fictional place, but a character; plus he was being descriptive. I would've said "Town of Bedrock", or "Jellystone Park".
