The $10,000 Pyramid (1973) PT. 1

Howdy, game show lovers! It is I, gameshowluvr86, with more classic stuff. Now, it's time for the Pyramid show that started it all. The one, the only, $10,000 Pyramid! This episode comes from the week of 11/12/73-11/16/73. During this time, though, TV Guide printed celebrity listings in a very weird manner; due to the coverage of the heated Watergate hearings that were taking place. The special guests include Sandy Duncan (from the miniseries Roots, and later, The Hogan Family), and TV icon, Ed Asner (Lou Grant from the Mary Tyler Moore Show). Let's get this started with part one. Enjoy, game headz!!

Sandy: If it's sports I'll just punch you!

@HarlemHyena Lol... Someone's channeling Vicki Lawrence...

Question... what was with the slanted look of the Pyramid?

[gameshowluvr86]

Slanted? I don't get it...

[jdp932]

Like from :38-:41 it just looks off.

[gameshowluvr86]

Ohh... gotchas... I think it was the way the camera was situated... ;-)

Sandy and Ed's entrance in this episode was cute.

Does anyone have the Episide Where Sandi Duncan Was in a winner circle win and she broke the restraints or straps on her chair when she jumped up

[christheone8773]

@vnisanian2001 WOW, Ed Asner was tossing her around like a rag doll-

[Rlotpir1972]

@gameshowluvr86 You got a point there. It'd be interesting to be both actors from "The Odd Couple" to complete in either "Password" or "Pyramid".

This was from 10000's visit to the West Coast in the CBS run. Jack Clark was the announcer for the West Coast episodes run (he moved to California in 1970). The regular announcers for the CBS run of 10000 were Bob Clayton (primary subustitute announcer was Ed Jordan).

to my knowledge, the doors were removed with the introduction of the winners' montage at the intro.

@gameshowluvr86 How about a week featuring Klugman and Randall as the celebrities?
