"$100,000 Pyramid" primetime this summer on ABC

[Neumms]

The way the logo is wedged into the front of that podium is going to fark with my OCD something fierce.

Mine, too. Another nit, I realize the pyramids never had pointy tops, but on the trylons here, they're so chopped off, they look odd.

A question of those who was there...do the lights on the big pyramid flash like GSN's, or do they chase (for lack of a better word) from bottom to top, like the bulbs on Dick Clark's?

They flash like GSN's.

They flash like GSN's.

Thanks. And crud! But it sounds like the game itself is great.

It's good that we have our priorities straight.

Unless it was mentioned earlier and I missed it, Primetime himself, Deion Sanders, was one of the celebrities on the final taping day which I attended. Since he mentioned it on his social media, I don't have to worry about blowing the secret.

Found another picture of Michael's lectern. For some reason, I thought it was a monitor within the stand, and not an actual printed logo.

/The faux wood grain's a nice touch

Actually, knowing about that metal(lic) strip at the bottom (which looks like it was added to address that precise issue) helps quite a bit there.

Here is a wide-view shot of the entire set:

Looks great to me!

I particularly like that the set pieces describe the perimeter of a triangle.

I'm guessing that the part I highlighted is a reflection from something else onto a monitor?

And I find that analog clock interesting in today's digital age, especially in such a slick prodcution studio.

Our Chelsea Thrasher is the source of that photo. That clock is in the master control suite she works in.

It's almost like what the Donnymid set would've looked like had they actually finished building it. Slick...very slick. I like it.

There were some complaints on FB saying the set is too dark, but given a) the pic with Ice-T shows an orange background, and b) there's no celebs or Michael in the above pic, I'm guessing the set is simply darker for the intro?

One of those small things that bugged me about Pyramid '02 was that there was nothing at the top of the Pyramid, whether it was a stylistic choice to not have something up there (even Pyramid '12 had "The Pyramid" up there) or they just ran out of time/forgot to do it.

The whole promo is up on YouTube in which you'll get to at least see much better shots of the Pyramid set.



I like how they don't have any footage from Match Game yet (duh), so they just took a clip of Alec jumping around.

I don't really get psyched over game show sets as much anymore, but seeing this shot makes me realize just how beautiful this set really is. Jim Ryan and Ed Flesh would be proud.
