William Shatner's "solo" Winner's Circle round

[clemon79]

Going ot for a sec, if things were that flexible time-wise, what caused Donnymid to goto 6 answer rounds instead of 7?

Did anyone time out the new show? It would not surprise me to learn that this had a couple minutes more program time than Donnymid did, as I bet the latter needed to reserve more time for ad inventory being a syndicated show than this program on a niche cable network does. (Also it doesn't hurt that they don't waste a full minute guffawing at the convoluted categories in the front game.)

Here's my biggest question: What happened to that rule I heard about where every episode must feature Heather Davis as a contestant?

Oh, sorry -- I'm thinking about "The Chris Lemon Pyramid."

Edit: Oops. Meant to post this in the thread about the new series, but, despite the fact that it's Labor Day, I'm too lazy to move it.

You knew this was coming.

The Pyramid runs about 21 minutes. Pyramid ten years ago ran about 20 minutes.

There you go, thank you sir. So there's the minute back for the first game. Shore up the chit-chat a little and get the time back from the Category Guffaw and there's your minute for the second one.

The amount of time allotted for content and that for advertising in a 30 minute syndicated program. That's why you have some rerun comedies with different opening sequences and some lines cut for time.

any other known cases of "solo" Winner's Circle playings, or was this a one-off incident?

I myself have not personally witnessed any seen endeavors of this sort while sitting in my seated audience position nor have I learned through my investigated discoveries of any proclivities of this manner or any such as.

I rate this at 0.8 Padron, where 1.0 is full-William and 0 is "making any semblance of sense."

I didn't know William F. Buckley was among us.  This is an honor.

0.8 isn't bad for the wind-down of a holiday weekend. But I won't rest until I get Orson Welles applauding.

No indeed. 0.8 is a strong showing for a debut performance. When your act hits its stride I am sure Mr. Welles will be showing his posthumous approval.
