If you referring to LMAD, they could have also just bought it for the night.

Back to NYSI, it dawned on me why it probably didn't have a longer run.  It's one of those rare games where both senses have to be constantly engaged.  It was not a show you could just have on while doing something else, you have to be actively watching.

Well, a housewife could feasably answer the questions while folding the clothes in the laundry room, but she didn't have to find the words like the contestants.   How does one explain the success of "Concentration"?  Coffee break time?

Maybe it was engaging enough to stop what one was doing, rather than try to sort-of watch while doing something else? I can see the average person picking up a game of matching - not so much on word searches and shows like "Whew."

(Not a US game show answer, but what the hell)

That's what fueled the success of UK Countdown...a teatime slot.   That features the same complexity of Whew...with the fact that it's MUCH easier to see and hear rather than just hear.

Well according to the GSN schedule they are going to be rerunning "50 Greatest Game Shows We Can Show" starting on May 5th. On May 5th they will show.....

8pm: 3's a Crowd
830pm: Treasure Hunt
9pm: Blockbusters
930pm: Hollywood Showdown

I hope they will be different episodes, but most likely not.

Will you be kind enough to post a link to the page in which you found this? I looked on the GSN schedule, and can't find it.

I had never seen any of last nights '$100,000 Pyramid' shows. Were they from the third season? The 'sucks to have your job' award goes to Bob Stewart or whichever of his subordinates had to tell that nice lady that they are taking her $10,000.00 win back.

Wow...stuff from (probably) '88?  Man...that would have been good stuff.  And regarding the 'sucks to have your job' award...I've got an early $25K where Dick did it right there on the air.

If you remember who the celebrities were...you can check right here.

Nope this was from the 86-87 season of $100,000 Pyramid. But they were nice choices though.

Pankin and Smith did a week in 1987, so don't get your hopes up. I'm just glad Pyramid was back anyway...

Well, its official. On Saturday May 5, Zap2it has "The 50 Greatest Game Shows of all time" on their listing from 8-10PM E/T.

Well, I am for one happy about this, cause I didn't tape a lot of the shows that I wanted to.

Thanks GSN for rerunning this special!!!
