Just a couple of replies, based on reading 12 pages of posts:
* I, too, was hoping for Pyramid but completely welcome another GS back to network daytime TV. I wonder if the syndicated market can absorb another show, given the recent failures/departures of Temptation, Trivial Pursuit and Crosswords and the addition of 5th Grader for the Fall. There WOULD be room if syndicators didn't make it so darn attractive (it would seem) to double-run their shows. (Are DoND and Feud the only carry-overs to the new season?)
* There's little chance that there WON'T be a host crossover (or at least cameo) between LMaD and TPiR. I also see the zonks as a perfect place for WLiiA guest appearances (Colin and Ryan would be the masters of Zonk), as long as it's done judiciously.
* I sent a e-mail to the programming contact at WUSA in D.C. and asked what the plans were. Their web site is already promoting the addition of Dr. Oz to the schedule as of Sept. 14. The initial inclination would be Deal at 10, Price at 11 ... and then Oz at 3 (vs. Phil and Gen. Hospital) and The Drs. at 4 (vs Oprah and local news).
