The best online source (certainly the easiest one to search ) would appear to be this one.  Another of our members is compiling an even more definitive effort, but his isn't online yet.

Just to let everyone that I was the one that originally helped in 1999 putting together for that source the celebrity listings for the CBS/ABC daytime 1970's and syndicated Bill Cullen editions only.  Going through about seven or eight years worth of TV Guide listings on microfilm at the New York Public Library was not an easy task.  Pretty frustrating for me also then was not getting all the celebrity weeks, particularly those not listed by the magazine from the CBS $10K and the last season of the Cullen $25K (when it aired on WNBC-TV in New York).

I want to add that that is the reference I had in mind. I just didn't remember the web address at the time I posted.

I liked how one of the half-page ads WNBC ran for Pyramid in TVG noted that the show was hosted by the "with-it Bill Cullen."

Here's the ad...

That was one of the two ads WNBC placed in TV Guide for Pyramid.  The other was simply a plain one using the show's title in a bold typeface inside a triangular shape, and it was for the episode that the station then pre-empted at the last minute with that science documentary special I previously mentioned.

"The fun flies as thick and fast as the questions!"

OK, first, what does that even mean?  Thick?  How does fun fly thickly?

Secondly, what questions?  This is Pyramid!

Why, it makes perfect sense. Both the questions and the fun fly "thick and fast" not at all, so it's a true statement.

I can tell you that SOMETHING was running pretty thick when they printed that... :)
