Title: GSN schedule change for the week of June 20
Post by: aaron sica on June 14, 2016, 11:42:35 PM: It appears that after less than a month that it left the morning schedule, "The $25,000 Pyramid" is back, this time starting from the very beginning of the CBS run in 1982. Same timeslot - 10:30 a.m. (EST)

/I remember a time about five years ago when they were airing two each of $25k and $100k. That was a whole lot of climbing in one day.

Post by: arrowood20 on June 15, 2016, 02:29:18 AM: I checked the PDF and had a bit of a "Huh?" moment. In the show description, they list Constance McCashin and Robert Mandan. However, in the "Guests" column, they list Scott Richards, Janet Gleason and Dick Clark. It seems that GSN has decided to put the contestant names in there now, although it's the only show where they do that. It's also odd that they list these episodes as being new, since they've aired before. Here's to hoping season two turns up at some point.

I believe so. I don't remember how far the original lease for $25K Pyramid went, I want to say sometime in summer '83? Hopefully included will be the episode where Tony Danza acts like a jerk and, subsequently, was never invited back again.

Post by: ivoryman1986 on June 15, 2016, 11:55:56 AM: IIRC, the original lease went up to the September 26, 1983 episode, so Tony Danza's week was included in that original lease from the green-ball era. There was a tiebreaker still played after the commercial break during Tony Danza's week along the way.

Likewise on my turf.

Checked out the June 27-July 3 line-up. No contestants' names mentioned there.

Cordially,
