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.

@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.

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