A complete game and Winner's Circle from a just-unearthed episode of the weekly nighttime series. Methinks Joanne Worley wouldn't be able to get away with that clue for "Things with Rhythm" today.

  • For how long did Bill Cullen ,"The Dean of Game Shows", host Pyramid? Was this a night time version with an alternate host, much like Dennis James on "The Price is Right?"

  • It ran for five seasons (1974-79), with 30 episodes per season.

  • Bill Cullen is quite possibly the greatest gameshow host in television history. Bill was know as a very kind, intelligent and considerate man. Every gameshow Bill ever hosted, no matter how short lived the show was, Bill always did a superb job as host. Thanks Bill for all the happy memories you left us.

    BUZZZZZZZ

  • Hey Adam, aren't you an author for the Encyclopedia for TV Game Shows? Your name sounds familiar. I've enjoyed game shows since I was 4 (will be 34 Sunday) and since I've been sick this week, I've watched classics on GSN.

  • OMG Bill Cullen on Pyramid! How great to see this! Bill was quite possibly the most underrated host. I thought he was the epitome of what a gentleman game show host should be. R.I.P.

  • aww it's so charming to see Bill Shatner's shameless self promotion.

  • @NEPatriot The closeups after the winners circle was done to allow for Bill Cullen to make it from off stage to the winners circle. He had contracted polio as a child and as such had a noticeable limp he didn't want to be seen limping on camera.

  • @prausch65 Yes, this was the weekly syndicated version. It only paid $5000 more than Dick's daily ABC counterpart for most of its' run.

  • @AdamNedeff Sadly, a scarce number still exist.

  • @squaminator Is that bad? Are we not supposed to acknowlege different races at all? :p

  • I love the psychadelic zoom in/zoom out and close ups on >:=$25000=:<

  • @floridapanthersroar Joyce Piscotelli?
