Speaking of Pyramid? Another false memory was that ABC had primetime Pyramid specials much like Feud did, that aired at 8. I remembered the kids getting the 35 seconds instead of 30. Thanks to being able to reference, I know now that there was only one ABC primetime "Pyramid" special (and from seeing some kids eps, they *did* get 35 seconds).
Another false one for me... Tic Tac Dough having a kids week, and when they went to face the dragon, prizes listed behind the squares, not money amounts.

TTD actually did have a kids week. I know because I got a DVD of Early GSN and More and they showed a kids episode of TTD during GSN's late night games.

As a child, I thought each game show taped in its own place in Hollywood, and you'd see the show's signs out in front of where you could go see them, like a restaurant or store sign.
I also thought the mid show break on TPiR where the logo is zoomed out so that the light border was visible again was done because they had to do that so that the light border would be in the right place for the next show.

I thought of the same thing with the former.

TTD actually did have a kids week. In 2008, I received some early GSN DVDs from an online friend and they showed a kids episode of TTD from late night games.

This is STILL how the Pressman instructions are written as well: "Lose A Turn: If a player spins Lose A Turn, he/she ends that turn and forfeits the next turn."

I too, thought that runs of game shows were new episodes and originals and not reruns. I did not get the concept of reruns. I remember when I was five I wanted a scrabble T-shirt but could not find one and also when I went to Toys R Us during a vacation in New Orleans when I was seven to look for the pyramid home game but I could not find it. I finally realized they were reruns when I saw the Viacom Silver V at the end of Split Second on FAM and i thought that Viacom reverted back to the silver V. Also when I saw the old 20th Century Fox TV logo at the end of a $100k Pyramid rerun on USA. And I thought wait, that's not right.
I also thought that Game shows had their own place to tape. like a restaursnt or store.
I thought Vanna and Pat were married when I saw the promo of Wheel during "The Wheel is gonna get you" campaign and seeing a kid coming home after baseball only to see Vanna and Pat greet him. I thought that was their son and their house! And the show originated from their house!
