Two teams, consisting of one celebrity player and one contestant, competed against each other. Six categories, each of which had a name pertaining to what that category was about, were placed on the pyramid-shaped game board. A contestant chose one of those categories, and after the host explained the subject of that category, the contestant was given 30 seconds to guess seven words (originally eight), phrases, or names (20 seconds for six in the most recent version of Pyramid) using clues given by his/her celebrity partner. If any de ...

In the original concept for the Winner's Circle, a team had to guess ten subjects in 60 seconds to win the top prize. This idea survived long enough for the Winner's Circle gameboard to be constructed with ten trilons rather than six. Perhaps realizing that ten in sixty seconds made it too unlikely for the $10,000 to be won with anything less than perfect gameplay, Bob Stewart changed the game to its familiar six-subject configuration. The bottom four windows on the gameboard were "dummied out" by having a large piece of plywoo ...

On The $50,000 Pyramid, the player with the fastest time in the front game during that week qualified for the $50,000 tournament. The field started with eight contenders but was narrowed down to three by the end of the first week of the tournament. Starting the following Monday, two finalists would play one game and the winner would play the Winner's Circle for $50,000. If the grand prize was lost, that player would play the next gam ...

The Winner's Circle round, named for the circular structure around the chairs that the celebrity and contestant sat in, also featured a pyramid of six subjects: three on the bottom level, two in the middle and one at the top. Each subject, however, was revealed one at a time and whoever gave the clues (usually the celebrity, but the contestant always had the option of giving or receiving) had to give a list of objects that fit into that subject.

That '70s Show draws heavily from the classic sitcom Happy Days. For example: Both shows are set two decades earlier than when they first premiered, take place in suburban Wisconsin and revolve around the antics of a close-knit group of high-school kids. The parents of the protagonist (Eric/Richie) take in the streetwise cool kid with a big heart (Hyde/Fonzie). The characters of That '70s Show frequently watch Happy Days on TV. An episode in which Kelso wears a new leather j ...

The theme song is Thank You For Being A Friend, which was a #25 Pop hit for Andrew Gold in 1978. However, this version is a re-recorded one sung by Cynthia Fee: Thank you for being a friend Traveled down the road and back again Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant And if you threw a party, invited everyone you knew You would see the biggest gift would be from me And the card attached would say, "Thank you for being a friend" In some episodes the last 3 lines would be repeated twice making for a ...

TTTT returned again for a year in 1990 with Gordon Elliott, then Lynn Swann, then finally Alex Trebek in the host's seat. The reason for all of these changes was because Elliott was fired eight weeks into the run because of an odd contract dispute with his former employers. Because of this dispute, he could not appear on television for some time. Swann, a former football player for the Pittsburgh Steelers, was formerly a panelist. He had no experience as a host, and many would say it showed. He was re ...

Metropole Orchestra leader Dolf van der Linden composed the original series theme, "Peter Pan", used from 1956-1961. From 1961-1967, the show switched to a Bob Cobert-penned theme (with a beat similar to "Peter Pan"), then to a Score Productions anthem during its final CBS daytime season. For the 1969, 1980, and 1990 versions, the music was again composed by Score Productions. Gary Stockdale supplied the score for the 2000 edition. The 1969 version is known by many for its original psychedelic set and its lyrical theme song; the psych ...

Pyramid was created by Bob Stewart, the quiz-show producer who also invented To Tell the Truth, The Price Is Right and Password during his years at Mark Goodson-Bill Todman Productions before forming his own company. It went through several name changes over the years, with the title originally reflecting the top prize that contestants can win in that version. See also:

When Pyramid first began in 1973, game play was slow at times, but as the ABC version progressed, the main game play became better. By the middle of the 1980s CBS version, both the civilians and celebs were more comfortable with the game, and the Winner's Circle rounds were won somewhat more often. (A similar phenomenon has been noticed in the NBC versions of the Password franchise, as opposed to the original CBS runs.) Still, some of the toughest game play on TV came in the $100,000 versions of the 1980s and 90s, which resulted in ...

The Match Game premiered December 31, 1962 continuing until September 26, 1969 on NBC for 1760 episodes. Although the fill-in-the-blanks premise was the same, the rules of this version were significantly different from those of later versions, and the subject matter was much more staid and tame. CBS revived the show on July 2, 1973 as Match Game '73 (the number changed to match the current year). After CBS canceled the show on April 20, 1979 as Match Game '79 after 7 seasons and 1445 shows, the show found new life ...
