  • No violation here. The category is "Kinds on Guns." A rifle is a kind of gun. A gun isn't necessarily a rifle.

  • I cannot believe I found this, this is my mom winning with Geoff Edwards! The other celebrity that helped her get to the winners circle was Loretta Swit. Made my day!

  • The stupid thing that got me with the daytime 70's version was that if you won at the $10,000 level, you were retired. You actually had to lose twice in the winner's circle to even try for $20,000. Now, does that make any sense? You were essentially punished for being good enough to win on the first try. That's just not fair at all. I don't know who's bright idea that was, but at least on Bill Cullen's nighttime version was like the 80's version. First trip to was worth $10K, the 2nd $25K.

  • I never knew whitey drank malt liquor (no pun intended) until watchin this clip.

  • @egbrown312 That is awesome. This was a great win! Congrats to your mom on winning the $20,000. She was an excellent Pyramid player.

  • @lwarteman, if you've seen the Donny Osmond version of Pyramid, then you got your wish; they refrain from clapping on that version after a correct category.

  • @bainsey89

    Like how a square is a type of rectangle, but a rectangle isn't necessarily a square.

  • I always thought they should have had the audience refrain from clapping after each correct category. It seemed to take time off the clock. Nice win!

  • @bainsey89 There wasn't that kind of a rule back then.

  • What year was this?

  • I was on the show in 1978 with Geoff and JoAnn Worley. He was terrible, maybe because he had his leg in a cast and had just taken a train in from DC because of a fierce snow storm. Made it to the winner's circle 5 times before I won (and set a new record) with JoAnn. She was a great player. Wish I could find a copy somewhere.

  • That's because ABC had a limit of $20,000, that's why players at that time retired at $10,000 lever or $15,000.

  • rifle is a synonym of gun also.
