Also, how about Donny vs. Marie with Dick Clark hosting for a day?
Now that would be a good one for Feb. Sweeps! [/quote]
Pyramid is probably up against Wheel in some cities. However, Pat didn't do a bad job as a celeb on SUper Password back in the day, he probably would be a good player.

Card Sharks 2001, now *that* was unwatchable. The old show so butchered that it was no longer recognisable.
Even with the odd weird judging decision, or poorly written category, it's still a great show. You're missing out, which is of course your right.
Did you stop watching Match Game because they had occasional bad judging and writing? (School Riot anyone?)

Now, I don't go to the point that Chris does and say it is unwatchable. I do find it enjoyable at times. But those flaws are too damn apparent.
When you're used to a show with locked-tight, virtually infalliable judging, you don't want to see the same show with wishy-washy judging. I could almost always predict a buzzing in the $25/100K Clark Pyramids. I don't know what the hell is going on in Osmond's Pyramid. It was a cool dance for a person to make while at home -- you can't say a "disease of a thousand men," but you can say "a thousand men's disease." That's intellectually stimulating. I can't dance anymore, though, to Donny. That makes me want to change the channel and wait to watch Clark on GSN.

The problem is...THEY'RE NOT ODD if I can pick one out every other day.

As I said, YMMV. I don't even think it's worth hard drive space on my Tivo in case I see a notice here of something amazing happening. My life is still plenty complete without it. I'm missing nothing that is of particular concern to me.

I sure as hell didn't watch MG '98. From the looks of it, I wasn't alone.
Trying to compare Match Game, a show played mostly for yuks with what is widely considered a pretty tenuous "game" wrapped around it, with Pyramid, a serious word communication game, is an exercise in futility and does little to prove your point. I hold Pyramid to a higher standard (and, in fact, a KNOWN standard), and so should most everyone else.

More than likely, not an idea, but rather a way to generate commercial revenue. And Zach, WTH does Pat Sajak being on Super Password have to do with anything?
