Pyramid was 19 weeks, January-June 1981, then three months of reruns. 95 episodes.

Blockbusters ran 17 weeks, January-May 1987, for 85 episodes, assuming no reruns or preemptions.

So Pyramid by two weeks.

Blockbusters was for sure 85 episodes-- no preemptions.  Recorded all 85 back when GSN was rerunning them to death (I know you want to ask why, and I really wish I could tell you.)
