The FINAL final Winner's Circle (at least for 4 months) and some mock 'unanswerable categories' as the show bids a fair goodbye (again, at least for 4 months).

  • Edythe Chan, who reaches over to Bill Cullen when he calls her (telling her "Well, Edie, this isn't your first game show and it won't be your last.") had worked with Bill Cullen and Bob Stewart all the way back to original "The Price is Right" on NBC and ABC. She was among the first to leave Goodson-Todman to join Bob Stewart Productions when after "Price's" cancellation Stewart formed his own company. I loved the dark blue desks and the plexigalss podium later used on "The $50,000 Pyramid."

  • @johnnyafairbanksak I almost forgot that that category had a particularly special meaning for Bill Cullen on the day this aired. NBC had just whacked "Chain Reaction" the same day.

  • @johnnyafairbanksak As the network that dumped was the first to dump voiceover announcements and was the first to inflict "credit crunching" on us (coicidentally when Jay Leno took over "The Tonight Show"), I think that's poetic justice.

  • @Noveltooner Actually, NBC is still fourth behind ABC (CBS and Fox are #1 and #2). Coming into 1980, they were dead last behind ABC and CBS.

  • That would of been so funny if Cullen got zapped on what bill cullen says.

    

  • @Noveltooner That could explain why he held off on moving his shows to Los Angeles for a good period of time.

  • The man himself, "Pyramid" creator-producer Bob Stewart pops in at 4:48, announcer Steve O'Brien is seen in the light gray suit at 6:13 and joins in.

  • @Noveltooner But now that Comcast is in control, that could change.

  • @johnnyafairbanksak Sadly, the same could be said for NBC today, right now the number 4 network behind even, ugh, FOX! (D**n you, Rupert Murdoch!)

  • Bob Stewart's shows in New York, dating back to "The Price is Right," always had a "one big family" feeling and a spontanoeus atmosphere that could never be duplicated in Los Angeles, where everything seemed staged, precisely edited, and all of the contestants from the same mold. The wide angle shot with the running lights of the great gold pyramid on the darkend set, and the announcer's, "This is 'The $20,000 Pyramid" was more more explosive and exciting than the openings in California.
