Indeed. If you go to The Game Show Bar and Grill in Toledo, it is one of their most popular offerings. You get 6 sliders, in the shape of a Pyramid, plus a hearty supply of crossed french fries and onion rings for $7.11. And if you don't eat it all, you can take it home in one of their red boxes. They are important and your waitress will tell you more about it when she brings it out.

You see, this is why I didn't want to make a food reference. Because I wouldn't have done it as well.

(IS there a game show themed restaurant somewhere in the country? Suddenly I am legitimately curious.)

Mike: I lol'd

Jamey: you asked about Pyramid before...it became Donnymid. It was supposed to premiere in fall 2001, but got pushed back a year, IIRC because not enough stations were interested. From what I remember, Sony threw that hat into the syndication ring fairly late (the pilot was in November or December 2000).

I never knew about a TTD pilot until that list surfaced on the Television City website. Pilot reports were fairly common during the ATGS era, so I'm kinda surprised no one ever mentioned it.

There was one, but it was "temporarily" closed for renovations a good 2 months after opening.

Question about the CBS Television City site (and yes, this is OT):

It says that the ABC sitcom That's My Mama was taped there from March-August 1974. I thought it was always taped at The Prospect Studios (formerly ABC Television Center). And speaking of which, are there any sites much like cbstelevisioncity.com that have the production timeline for the Prospect Studios and NBC Studios Burbank?
