Pyramid Pilot

[chad1m]

Chris, a year ago I noted that "you've often been less than pleasant in your return to these parts." You decided to respond to that by telling me via forum messaging that you "actually HAVE been making an effort to be more civil and dodging the crapslinging where possible," that "whatever preconceived notions you've got about me really need to be deleted from your memory" and that you're "trying not to fall into the same behaviors I have in the past and I really would appreciate it if you respected that."

I figured if you would be this moved to send me an email that maybe I should give you another chance. But aparently, any of those things you listed for me have went out the window. You continue to prove that, more often than not, first instincts will never fail you. And I'm glad that I'm not the only one who thinks this.

When two people say it, it's probably a coincidence. When twelve say it, it's probably the truth.

Can't we just let this die already? I'm sorry I even mentioned Marc Summers and his OCD and set if off- I had no idea it was going to touch off such a shitstorm. I really don't want to talk about this anymore. I had one big slip up. I admit it. I'm human. Can we move on from it?

It will die when you stop making absurdities or incendiary remarks then follow it up with pressing the "Wah, why is everyone ganging up on me?" button.

I'm trying to...it's not easy when people are responding in a fashion like that.

I did something I shouldn't have, I'm owning it. All I ask in return is that you either acknowledge it or accept it and we move on from it.

But this is exactly the thing you're either not getting or choosing to not get. You can't keep kicking someone in the head and expect them to want to forgive you or "accept it and move on" the 17th time you do it.

It.
Gets.
Old.

I can help you with letting the issue die.  DON'T HIT THE DAMN REPLY BUTTON.  That or unplug your computer.

Alright then, don't accept it. That's your prerogative. And that's my last word on this.

To be fair (still playing Devil's Advocate here), how creative can you be with a kids vs. adults format? I ask both facetiously and seriously, because I'm both unsure there was much else that could've been done, but I would like to see someone at least try to come up with something better than what they had- I sure as hell don't know what I could add to this case.

If I was being paid to come up with something, I would do so. But I'm not getting paid for it and I don't work for free. Off the top of my head: you have kids vs. adults and you're playing Jeopardy. Nobody says "hey, maybe we should have adults answering questions about kid stuff and t'other way around." You could have the kids taking on adults in the style of Three for the Money or 1 vs. 100. Nobody looks at the question material and says "Golly, these questions are impenetrable. The viewers won't be able to play along." You have a boring game being played by boring people and answering questions that your home audience won't get.

So, I hear Pyramid might be coming back soon?

Didn't they tap that Richards guy from Price to host?

[Craig Karlberg]

And isn't GSM casting for a series even though it shot a pilot?
