The $20,000 Pyramid (1978) PT. 1 (A)

HELLO, FELLOW GAME HEADZ!!! I'm back again with more tension, fast action, and fun, which means yet another installment of the great Pyramid! This episode is from the week of 6/12/78-6/16/78, and is from the show's days in the Big Apple. Celebrity guests are Sandy Duncan (from the miniseries Roots, and later, NBC's The Hogan Family), and the Poet Laureate of Television himself, Nipsey Russell (from Car 54, Where Are You?, and The Dean Martin Show and roasts). By the way, did anyone else notice there was no opening poem by Nipsey? WTF, man?!

Which Pyramid episode did Sandy Duncan rip out the Winners Circle straps after a win?

[gameshowluvr86]

I think that happened in 1975 or so, while the network version was still The $10,000 Pyramid. :)

I believe this was the earliest aired episode of the $20K Pyramid. According to GSN themselves, 260 episodes of this version, from 1978-1980, are known to exist.

@Ddog2k3 There is still a week's worth of episodes from 1977 featuring William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy. Though the master copies have been destroyed, they been preserved thanks to home video recording. A couple can still be found here as well including Shatner's infamous chair throwing outburst, a must see!
