featuring an ancient episode of the $20,000 Pyramid (where you can tell the timer wasn't computer generated yet but shot against a blue screen) is pretty cool, don't ya think 
? ? ? ? It looks like the celebrity guest was Barbara Eden just coming off of her 'I Dream of Jeanie' run. Pretty snappy commercial IMHO :thumbup: !!!!! I wish there were more game shows today vs. more celebrity talk shows on TV like the good ole days 
!!!!!
Quick Did You Know about 'Pyramid':
1) When the show first aired on CBS back in the early 1970's, the show was shot out of the Ed Sullivan Theatre right after Ed retired/got canceled back in 1970 (71?).
2) Dick Clark use to commute back and forth from Hollywood (where he taped American Bandstand for ABC) and NYC to tape 'Pyramid'. After a few years though, Dick said screw this and got CBS to move the show to Television City in LA to cut down on his commute. Man, getting 2 checks from 2 rival networks? Now that was sweet
!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3) The Speed Round was suppose to have been 10 squares vs. 6 (you might notice a hidden bottom row on the original Pyramid in its early years). I guess early experiments showed that there was no way in the world contestants could answer 10 questions in 60 seconds so the bottom row was eliminated.
