In the early months of shows or so, the WC trilons were in blue, instead of white.

Actually, the big Pyramid's trilons went white at the beginning of the 1983-84 season. That week also marked the re-usage of the flashback intros, and it was also the week they started using the "wiggling trilons" gimmick when someone hit the $25,000 prize (this was used more on The $100,000 Pyramid though, as we all know). :)

@PriceRight89 me too I liked the blue trilons they were different.

It's interesting to see how the blue background on the winner circle trilons was difficult to see coupled with the black lettering of the trilons. They soon changed the background to white and it made the categories much easier to see for the person giving the clues.

I remember watching a later episode of Pyramid, where the judges ruled "drip" and "leak" were synonyms. Later, during commercial, they looked it up, and "drip" and "leak" were not synonyms, and they awarded $10k. So that explains "drip", I guess.

the graphic for the $10,000 win is actually the same graphic font originally seen on the $20,000 Pyramid, except on the 1st week of the 80s $25K Pyramid it was a much larger version of it.

Also, another thing that carried over from the NYC-era of Pyramid on this version was the bells for when a player got a correct answer.

Those NYC-era bells were only used on the 1st several weeks of this version of Pyramid.

Actually, the frontgame trilons were blue for the first week. There is an episode having that. Also, the graphic for $10,000 was in a different style for that first week, on that episode.

That is so true, Josh. ;) I loved seeing flashback intros before the show started. It was a nice way for the show to start, because it somehow made viewers think, "Hopefully a $10,000 or $25,000 win will happen shortly." :)

Peace,

Yes, during the first two seasons of this version of Pyramid, these boxes were indeed blue while the ones on the smaller pyramid were white. From the 3rd season (?) on, the trilon boxes in the WC were white.

That was an okay winner's circle. Florence Henderson does a good job in this game; very calm and collective but not panicking by going fast. The last subject as I know it almost always the broadest; things like that could have different defanitions to everyone or the judges could have weird ways of accepting clues on that one. Everyone did ttheir best but it doesn't matter where you shoot a show; it still has a consostant degree of difficulty.

The White ones were probably much easier to read in crunch time.
