		Quiz shows like the $64,000 Question and Twenty-One were extremely successful, until it was discovered the producers were giving out the answers ahead of time. Academy Award winner Robert Redford brilliantly depicted this scandal in American History in his Oscar winning film "Quiz Show".
		Other popular TV game shows created during this time included "This is your Life" with celebrities like Marilyn Monroe, Bob Hope, Jack Benny, "What's My Line" with panelists that included Desi Arnaz and Arlene Francis, "Queen for a Day" "I've Got a Secret" and the "Price is Right".
		Game shows have remained a huge source of entertainment, and are still a major part of pop culture.

		A game show is a radio or television programme involving members of the public or celebrities, sometimes as part of a team, playing a game, perhaps involving answering quiz questions, for points or prizes.
		In a reality show the competition usually lasts several days or even weeks and a competitor's progress through the game is based on some form of popularity contest, usually a kind of disapproval voting by their fellow competitors or members of the public.
		Dating game shows, the original reality games, in which the prize is typically a well-funded dating opportunity that one can only pursue with the individual one has 'won' on the show.

	Pyramid (game show) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pyramid was an American television game show where contestants tried to guess a series of words or phrases, based on descriptions that were given to them, in the shortest amount of time.
		On January 19, 1976, the show was renamed The $20,000 Pyramid.
		By 1980, The $20,000 Pyramid was the last remaining network daytime game show among the three commercial broadcast networks then to be produced and videotaped in New York City.

	Pyramid
		In the $20K and $25K versions of the show, one subject during the show had hidden behind it a "Big 7." This was a bonus card which would win $500 for the player if the team managed to get all 7 words in under 30 seconds.
		The game went to the team that scored the most points, OR got the same score in a faster time (in the case of perfect 7's.) Another bonus was enabled if the game went to a 21-21 tie; the player that broke the tie won an extra $5,000.
		The only truly forgettable run of the show was the $50K version; with a discombobulated format and lower payoffs, it really seemed more like a potboiler than a legitmate attempt at a game show.

	The $10,000 Pyramid/The $25,000 Pyramid
		The most fascinating part of the show was its gigantic set (the series originally taped in the Ed Sullivan Theater, which now houses The Late Show with David Letterman, except for a few weeks in Los Angeles), which included a large hunk of plywood on the main pyramid.
		On January 19, 1976, the daytime show became The $20,000 Pyramid, whereupon the first time a contestant went to the Winner’s Circle it was worth $10,000, the second trip was worth $15,000, and all subsequent trips were worth $20,000.
		And all of the CBS $25,000 Pyramid and syndicated $100,000 Pyramid episodes remain.

		He currently hosts "Lingo", one of a handfull of shows that GSN debuts once a year, to air for five weeks, before falling into a rerun rut, and never to be heard of again, before they roll out their next handfull of poorly conceived game shows.
		Good game shows are ones where the contestants are having fun, and you don't have to form any kind of emotional attachment to the contestants.
		Now the classic shows are returning to the network, only one original remains (Lingo, one of only three good ones that they had, along with Hollywood Showdown and Russian Roulette), and the non game show programming is being cut back rapidly, with only a few gambling shows on every once in a while.

		However, the show was sometimes pre-empted and/or had delayed episode broadcasts due to the Watergate scandal hearings coverage on the three broadcast networks at that time.
		The show also now had a brand-new set duplicating the original Jim Ryan design created for the first CBS version, but there were some minor differences between the two of them, and it was tailored made to fit within the confining pattern of this new studio’s layout.
		Under these rules, all contestants stay on the show until they win at the big pyramid at once at whatever cash prize level that had won or are defeated by their opponents in the main game.

		The object of the game is simple...to get to the top of the Pyramid (aka "Winner's Circle") in the shortest time possible.
		If a contestant wins the main game, they get the right to go to the Winner's Circle to try for the grand prize, which throughout the series has ranged from $10,000 to $25,000.
		The most popular incarnation of the series has been "The $100,000 Pyramid", where three top contestants who have gone to the pyramid in the shortest amount of time return for a Tournament Of Champions, which the grand prize is $100,000.

	Osmond's Pyramid - GSN Buzz
		Yeah, I thought the show would have done better with returning champions, and the tournament played like it was in the 80's.
		It may have allowed for the show to have more contestants, but it still took away from the excitement of a returning champion.
		So many flaws in a great game, but when Clark played he still proved that he was the master.

	Game show - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A game show involves members of the public or celebrities, sometimes as part of a team, playing a game, perhaps involving answering quiz questions, for points or prizes.
		In the US, television game shows fell out of favor in the 1950s after it was revealed that favored contestants on The $64,000 Question, Twenty One and other shows had been given answers and coached by the producers (see: Quiz show scandals).
		In a show colloquially called Strip Questions, a nude woman stands behind a pane of glass with strips of paper embedded in it; every time she misses a question, one strip of paper is pulled away.

		At the end of the day, I checked a couple of game show message boards as I do, and I was appalled at what I saw.
		The fact that GSN thought enough of Peter Tomarken to run a nine-hour block of his most-remembered show was wonderful on their part.
		The 'game show geek' demographic is probably 1,000 at most.

		The instructor has total control of the game situation, including game-saving, and like all the other Game Show Wizard games, Lower 48 can be played on computer stations, with a digital projector, or with a large monitor.
		During the game, a team that has correctly answered a question has the option of taking cash from other teams, giving it to an allied team, adding it to their own score, or going "double-or-nothing." Imagine your questions and answers used in a purely interactive and music/sound-effects-laden educational gaming environment.
		Moon Mogul allows up to five sets of Game Show Wizard questions (a possible total of 250 questions!) to be loaded into the same gaming session for the option of long-term play.

	The Pyramid Game Show's Years In New York City (by William A. Padron)
		On Monday, January 16, 1978, "The $20,000 Pyramid" moved into the 12:00 noon (Eastern) slot on ABC-TV with a special set of seven shows presenting in a somewhat first roundrobin elimination tournament-style format (and only for this version) featuring past champions with their celebrity partners to compete for an additional cash prize of $20,000.
		Meanwhile, the previous ABC daytime "$20,000 Pyramid" version wins its third Daytime Emmy Award as "Outstanding Game/Audience Participation Program" during its eighth annual national ceremonies telecast hosted by Dick Clark on Thursday, May 21, 1981 (I was personally hoping the show would win that trophy as I was watching it on that date).
		The New York era of the "Pyramid" game show (and the entire genre from the city itself along with the syndicated "To Tell The Truth" during its brief 1980-81 season) essentially concluded in 1981 after a great eight-year run.

		Trivia: During the first season, original Pyramid host Dick Clark was a guest player along with game show queen Betty White during a week, called the "Dick Clark Challenge".
		It was the first time Dick was on the show since 1988 and the first time he was a Pyramid player since 1978.
		This is one game show that is definitely worth watching because it's such an awesome update of a game show classic.

		Later, only one tiebreaker was played; top scorer won the game, but if both contestants scored 7 out of 7, the team that reached that score faster wins.
		Game two is played identically to game one, except that who won makes a big difference.
		Dick Clark was a good host because of his ability to focus on the suspenseful aspect of the show, and his style of doing so is very similar to the way Bill does the same.
