This Season's Pryamid

(1/11) > >>

Balapete:
Does anyone else feel that the small changes on this season's Pyramid really add to the show.  I think the flow of the show this year is much better. I love the fact that the contestants are able to give the clues in the winner's circle, although I have not seen anyone opt to yet.  I wish that you the contestants were able to do that last year.  I was on the show last year and would have loved to give the clues in the W.C..  I can not complain though because I played with Elaine Henrdrix and she was a great player and helped me win $10,000.  It was by far the most exciting thing that has happened to me.

I was so glad to see that Adriene Barbeau is going to be on Pyramid this year.  She was one of the best players on the Clark version and I can't wait to see her on the new show.  I am sure she still is a great player.  It is nice to see some celebrities from the original show on this year.  

I like the theme weeks.  I would love to see a classic game show week like the had on Hollywood Squares or perhaps a classic TV week.  If anyone from Pyramid is reading this, I think you would get some great ratings with these types of weeks.

 I think the small changes this season DO improve the show, but the big problems they HAVEN'T addressed (like the judging issues, and the "alternative, edgy" writing) still make the show unwatchable.

Gromit:
Well, that's quite severe. The show is in no way "unwatchable", it's still Pyramid at heart.

The only thing I find strange is how they're standing around and they make such a big deal about who wants to give or receive. Let 'em relax in the chair for a few minutes. I don't really need to see them choose either, just having the choice is fine with me.

 And yet, 100% accurate. If the judging and writing annoys me to the point that I don't want to watch it, then that, by definition, is an unwatchable show.

Tom Cruise's DENTIST, for Chrissakes. His friggin' DENTIST. What does "I work on the teeth of the guy who was in Days Of Thunder" add to the show that "I was in Days Of Thunder" didn't? Frankly, it's an insult to the writing staff of the Clark version.

YMMV. YM prolly WILL V. But I refuse to support crap like that with my viewership.

If Adrienne was on the show, then maybe one of these days Constance McCashin might come on this version.  She is a great game show player, period(not just on "Pyramid").
