I suspect the Pyramid marathon will be all 1987-88 season tourneys. "original shows shot in Holland" for Lingo? Will we be treated to the actual Dutch version of the show? This doesn't sound too bad.

You are fooling yourself if you think you are getting anything other than the first set of 16 or 20 or however many shows that they did in the Holland studio with US expats as contestants.
TV Favorites:
GSN did 20 episodes of Lingo for the first season.
bwood:
Ahhh yes, the 1st Lingo eps.
I never got these episodes on tape the 1st time(s) they showed them so I may do that this time around. It will be interesting to see these again and see how far the show has come set-wise.
Speaking of Lingo, if they keep showing new episodes twice a night, the new 65 will be gone quickly!
