Success

Well, I usually don't blog as much as I'd like, but I figured this is a subject that is worthy of a post here on my blog. As many know, GSN is attempting to revive the classic Pyramid series with new episodes. Mike Richards is supposed to be the host. They taped the pilot this last Saturday. From Buzzerblog, here's how the gameplay worked:

The game is played like the old version.  Two teams compete in two games per show.  You have seven clues to convey within 30 seconds.  The main difference is how money is handled.  Whenever you go to the titular Pyramid you play for a base of $10,000.  In the main game if you score a perfect 7-out-of-7 you earn a $500 bonus plus you play for $5,000 more on the Pyramid.  So one perfect round means you win $500 and have a chance at $15,000.  Two perfect rounds is $1,000 and a chance at $20,000.  A perfect game means you win $1,500 and play for $25,000.  Of course no perfect rounds mean you play for the base $10,000.  There are no bonus categories such as Mystery 7 or 7-11.  If you can’t beat the Pyramid you get money for each box you do beat.  In order, from left to right, the first row is worth $100, $200, and $300; the second row is $400 and $500; the top box is $750.

Well, I would like to see it made to air. As I said Mike Richards is the host and there has been some positive feedback from what I've personally heard. Here's the casting call. Almost looks like it's a go.
