<snippity snip>
BTW, should the show get the go-ahead and they still don't use pyramid shapes, BFD. People are making too much of a fuss over the aspects that have no effect on the gameplay. With the exception of a fairly strategic addition, it's Classic Pyramid (read: not the 1996-97 pilots), and folks are still complaining.[/quote]
Just for clarification, I just happen to personally prefer my panties to be all in a bunch so that my junk thinks it is getting a constant embrace...that being said...
I really don't have any major issues regarding the set design and such...however, since the original creator/producer of this particular format did make a point to utilize a very specific geometric figure/structure as the focus and/or centerpiece of the game, it just seems odd to me that the people producing the upcoming version would choose not to include a clearly iconic part of the game.
And maybe I'm stupid, but if you don't use pyramid shapes, why the hell call it "PYRAMID"
![Huh ???](http://www.gameshowforum.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif)
The title never made any reference to any aspect of the game play...well, that is, except for the end game being played on a giant PYRAMID-shaped game board. I mean, if you forego the pyramid shapes and such, why not just call it "THE $25,000 YEAST INFECTION" or something else that might assist in snagging a major sponsor to help defray costs...

Well, since we're getting all technical on shapes and whatnot, should "Classic Pyramid" (1973-92) technically be called "The $(X)XX,000 TRAPEZOID"? After all, a pyramid is a 3-dimensional triangle, a triangle having three sides. But all the Pyramid logos and set designs allude to more of a trapezoidal shape, which has four sides.
/Getting a "Professor Wilson Renfrew from the Richard Pryor movie Bustin' Loose" flashback: "A pyramid is derived from the triangle, which has three sides. BUT DEE TRAPAZAWID HAS FOUR SIDES, and it is that fourth side, that makes it JEE-O-METRIC-LEE AND MA-THE-MA-TIC-LEE THEE EN-RICH-MUNT for all profits which you can make here."
Sorry everyone, I got a little carried away in the whole shapes argument. Then again, maybe Jim Ryan knew what he was doing when he made the Pyramid set trapezoidal.
