Teresa Ganzel has such a beautiful, sunny, positive personality and countenance... She reminds me of my favorite teacher from 1st Grade; Mrs. Kiran! I loved her *SO, SO* much... Even when I acted ugly, she was *always* so sweet and understanding... 🥰🥰🥰
I watched these as a young boy when they were new. I always loved Dick Clark's authoritative voice of reason. Same with how he acts when the contestants lose. I don't hate modern game shows, but these older ones have a human element, a little excitement, and some empathy. The current generation of TV gameshows feels like they're designed for a little shock value.
Dick Clark was such a great game show host. He didn't make the show all about him, he took the game seriously but not too seriously, and he could crack a joke but he never turned the show into farce.
Oops, Dick called Bob Hilton, "Bob Hudson." In the mid 1960s, Los Angeles $/ KRLA 1110 had a Bob Hudson (aka Emperor Hudson) as the morning deejay. In midday was Charlie O'Donnell, who was also the announcer of American Bandstand.
Definitely. I only wish he was a better host as evidenced with LMAD ‘90. Speaking of Bob Hilton, I definitely need to see his unsold pilot, Bamboozle. Heard it had many elements of To Tell The Truth to the point where Mark Goodson sued Chuck Barris. 🤔
As far as descriptive, I'd say "man's trouser insides" would be *just* this side of acceptable, but ultimately I'd say it's as Nipsey said right after: The trouser insides wouldn't be something "with" a seam, it would BE the seam. That exchange is also funny for the role-reversal right there. 😉
Prepositional phrase wasn’t so much descriptive there as it was indicative. It’s the difference between “the flag of the United States” (indicative) versus “the flag of red, white, and blue” (descriptive).
@@tomxconn Yeah I have to agree with you on that one. There is no explanation. In the 70s version of Pyramid, if there was no big win the show ends at the desks and Dick leaves the stage after his signoff. If there was a big win at the Winner's Circle, it ends at the Winner's Circle, and Dick stays. In the 80's $25,000 and $100,000 pyramid, Dick almost always leaves the stage. There were some exceptions though and I remember some of those episodes on the $100,000 Clark version: 1) The first tournament: on the episode where Richard won the $100,000, the episode ended at the Winner's Circle and Dick stayed on stage. 2) Vicki leaving the studio after a bad week during an episode of preliminary gameplay. Dick stayed onstage during the end credits. 3) The longest tournament with Scott, Laurie, and Marilyn: the episode ended at the Winner's Circle and Dick stayed onstage after signing off. 4) The shortest tournament with Keefe, Tom, and I forgot her name: Dick did leave the set at first, but during the announcer consolation plugs, he did come back, with the exception that he took off his microphone. 5) The Winner's Circle where the judges made a miscall on Jo Ann Worley's clue. She was given only 3 seconds for a replacement category Things that are APPROVED (which is very hard) Clark's $25,000 version: The Battle of the Network Soaps week: every episode ended at the Winner's Circle and he did not leave the stage after the sign off. Although on the Davidson $100,000 version, Davidson always leaves the stage on every episode. But there were two episodes where the $100,000 winners left with Davidson (Malia Kline and Kris McDermott)
@@richardhernandez4490 there were 3 other episodes where dick stayed on stage 1. January 20th 1986 when dick cavett gave the contestant his shirt 2. From the same week Vicki threw her tantrum and left after a bad week there was another show where dick stayed on stage and read the dictionary with Vicki Lawrence 3. An episode from the 87-88 season had another celebrity walk off stage and dick sat in his chair
@@richardhernandez4490 I'll add one: I think this was 1/20/86 on the $100,000 - Dick Cavett went a little wild, in trying to make up for his mess-up on the $50 box in the second WC, during the post-mortem he first offered to give the contestant the $10,000 to make up for it, then during the closing it led to his offering the shirt off his back (no, seriously). 😂 Then Cavett left the stage, and Dick Clark took his place during the end credits. (Oddly enough, Vicki was the other celebrity for that week - in fact, during the intros the next day, she tells Dick Clark that she's minding her Ps and Qs, opining that Clark's got all the trouble he can handle this week.) There is yet another tournament besides the above listed where the final segment was at the Winner's Circle - the one Patty Geiger won in May 1986. I just haven't seen a copy of that one with full credits, only a GSN one with a crunch. (He wasn't seen leaving the stage after signing off, though.) Also, with regards to #5: I know there's also another episode - might be a $25,000 - with a final segment involving a judge's call being overturned so they had to do the replacement category. Pretty sure this one involved a different celeb AND was won. (I've seen the one with Jo Anne Worley, this would be a separate episode.)
The Fox vanity card at the end is interesting. I was under the impression that Bob Stewart sold his company to Columbia Pictures, which was acquired by Sony.
"The $100,000 Pyramid" was syndicated by 20th Century Fox in the 1980's when it debuted in syndication in 1985, and it was also syndicated by them when the USA Network aired it in the 90's. It didn't transfer over to Sony until Bob Stewart sold them his company in 1994.
Dick's whole explanation of how many seconds each contestant won by and how many seconds they had left, and then comparing that to the other contestants, blah blah blah. It ground the show to a halt and was just unnecessarily boring.
I never liked this show, I always felt like that people watched Pyramid because of the money it was giving away as opposed to the actual game itself, the same with Millionaire, because when you look at the gameplay Pyramid added nothing, the game itself was basically Password but instead of being limited to one clue you're put on a time limit. The theme song was annoying and absolute rubbish and felt outdated the minute it was first used, the set they used for the 70s version was one of the ugliest sets ive ever seen in a game show, Dick Clark's hosting abilities are in my eyes somewhat overrated as I view there was much better hosts during his time hosting, and the show didn't need celebrities at all and I think that was done just to draw up interest since the only way you could do well at this game is if you had a good celebrity partner. Bob Stewart after Password could only make 2 types of game shows, Celebrity-civilian game shows involving words, and games where there was a crowd and they competed all week, and it's no wonder why Pyramid was the only game show he had that was a success as an independent producer.
Rest In Peace Dick Clark. Overdue condolences to the family for your loss. 😔💐
We miss you Dick Clark and Nipsey Russell. Rest in peace.
Teresa Ganzel has such a beautiful, sunny, positive personality and countenance... She reminds me of my favorite teacher from 1st Grade; Mrs. Kiran! I loved her *SO, SO* much... Even when I acted ugly, she was *always* so sweet and understanding... 🥰🥰🥰
Dick Clark was my idol, Nipsey Russell was one of the coolest cats in entertainment and Teresa Ganzel was so lovely, sweet and wonderful
Agreed on all counts. Clark was one of my two show-biz idols, the other being Quincy Jones.
Quality on this one is (chef's kiss)

*WELL SAID!!*
This gameshow IS AWESOME!! ;)
Dick called the announcer Bob Hudson. LOLOLOL. Poor Bob Hilton. Couldn't catch a break that day. Dick probably never heard of him before.
BEST game show of all time!!!!
Cool game show
Blooper by Dick Clark calling announcer Bob Hilton Bob Hudson.
22:03 - The 20th Television-Fox logo reminds me of #HomeAlone!!!
Or "In Living Color".
December 3rd 1985 reran on March 4th 1986
Another week with a double set of fee plugs
9:24, very professional and sportsman-like of Peggy to come over and congrarulate her!
Thanks Wink! :)

Bob Hilton should have had a TON more work than he actually got.
Definitely. I only wish he was a better host as evidenced with LMAD ‘90. Speaking of Bob Hilton, I definitely need to see his unsold pilot, Bamboozle. Heard it had many elements of To Tell The Truth to the point where Mark Goodson sued Chuck Barris. 🤔
"serviced" is murder
It may have appeared elsewhere, but it certainly wasn't a common category.
Surprised they let Nipsey get away with "The prices of the dishes" in second bonus round. Usually clues with "of" got buzzed.
They're more forgiving on the early categories.
I'm surprised Dick got away with calling Bob Hilton Bob *HUDSON*
Dick Clark’s clue for Things With Seams was way too descriptive. Good the judge buzzed him on that clue.
As far as descriptive, I'd say "man's trouser insides" would be *just* this side of acceptable, but ultimately I'd say it's as Nipsey said right after: The trouser insides wouldn't be something "with" a seam, it would BE the seam.
That exchange is also funny for the role-reversal right there. 😉

A full episode with the correct aspect ratio...
Nipsy is good.
Nipsey had awesome poems, and played every game show very well, always did his best to help contestants win something
OAD: Tuesday, December 3, 1985
I was 2 years old on October 18, 1985 so I don’t remember watching this particular episode
I miss this show. 1:58
Looks like the episode of $25k pyramid with Michael J Fox that taped 6/9/83 disappeared from your vault Wink
Bob Hilton is the announcer
Dick called him "Bob Hudson".
:40 Dick clark said Bob Hudson lol its Bob Hilton
I like how Dick says, “Cookies” 😃
Dick Clark is the best pyramid host!
There's only one thing that I don't understand: why did Dick Clark usually leave the set at the end of the show?
I have wondered that forever too. Can’t find an explanation anywhere
@@tomxconn according to someone else it gave him time to make phone calls and stuff for his production company
@@tomxconn
Yeah I have to agree with you on that one. There is no explanation.
In the 70s version of Pyramid, if there was no big win the show ends at the desks and Dick leaves the stage after his signoff. If there was a big win at the Winner's Circle, it ends at the Winner's Circle, and Dick stays.

Judge said No.
The Fox vanity card at the end is interesting. I was under the impression that Bob Stewart sold his company to Columbia Pictures, which was acquired by Sony.
I believe they were the distributor
"The $100,000 Pyramid" was syndicated by 20th Century Fox in the 1980's when it debuted in syndication in 1985, and it was also syndicated by them when the USA Network aired it in the 90's. It didn't transfer over to Sony until Bob Stewart sold them his company in 1994.
Yeah, the Columbia Pictures end title card would be symbolic of GSN re-runs (and probably most others since then) rather than being original.
Also reminds me of #HomeAlone, which is a movie that has this version of the Fox logo.
Who's Bob Hudson?
SEAMS is tough.
Don't forget SERVICED. That one is as tough as SEAMS.
@@richardhernandez4490 They clearly did not have the budget for a $25K win that day.
You can’t say three letter word right ?
Dick's whole explanation of how many seconds each contestant won by and how many seconds they had left, and then comparing that to the other contestants, blah blah blah. It ground the show to a halt and was just unnecessarily boring.
She wasted so much time saying "Good"!
