Who ever said that Pyramid needed to be 1 word phrases only?
No one, because it wasn't. Don't ever change.
I guess you didn't take it as a rhetorical question. Nuff said.
Don't think too hard... you might give yourself a headache.

Unless you are Stan Lee, in which case it *totally* wins you the argument. :)

Know what? If saussage actually turns out to be Stan Lee, well, I don't know what I'll do. It'll be severe and hilarious.

I thought Gamble for a Grand was a rather cheap way of eliminating the 7-11, myself.
I'm actually more OK with that than I am the slapdash playing of the Double Trouble. As dumb as it was to have the Mystery Seven showing to all the world, I liked the idea that you could win a bonus prize by sacrificing knowing the link. Similarly, I like having the option of winning a bonus something by giving up some of your time.

I liked the intro they used with Johnny/Henry/Dean talking over the doot, doot, doot, "This is the Winner's Circle...", etc.
It was a kinda sorta throwback to Bob Clayton's "Keep your eye on this spot".

Yes.  Yes, yes, yes.  Never a fan of winner-clip montage openings, I really liked this.

Because you gave no indication it might have been rhetorical. Nuff said.

Really? Interesting. As much as I love the montage, I admit that I really dug the opening for Davidson Pyramid. In fact, after the announcer stopped talking the awesome kinda ended. And if Henry Polic the Twoth was announcing, the awesome never really got started.

Disagree - I loved the winner-clip openings - what other shows did that? Not many.

I dug the winner-clip montage too. Just for the sheer joy and euphoria that would often happen whenever someone conquered the Pyramid.

Off the top of my head, "Big Showdown", Wink's "High Rollers", and "Wipeout". "Every Second Counts" showed silent clips of winning couples.

For winners AND losers there's PYL and quite a few runs of LMaD...

As for Davidson's 100K, I would say the intro was quite cool. However, even had someone other than Davidson or Clark hosted, I felt the show was missing something...even watching as a kid. It kinda felt thrown together.
