[quote name=\'Jay Temple\' date=\'Mar 5 2004, 10:57 PM\']1) During Pyramid Thursdays, I remember seeing one or more 10K eps that began with a shot of the Winner's Circle and an intro something like, "Look at this space. This is where someone could win $10,000." Are these the Barbara Feldon/John Schuck episodes? (I'm looking at people's tape trade websites and I need to know what to request.)
2) Can anyone tell me the first week that the 7-11 didn't have the option of going $50 a point? I'm putting the information I've gotten from various sources in a single place, and that would be a useful piece to include.[/quote]
1) All of the Feldon/Schuck episodes had the montages of past wins at the opening of each show. The Kaye Ballard/Richard Deacon episode, to the best of my knowledge, has the intro you mention.
2) The first week that the contestants no longer had the $50 option on "The New $25,000 Pyramid" was the week of January 21, 1985, featuring Betty White and Nathan Cook. No mention was made of the rule change, however. Just for extra info, the very next week (with guests Patty Duke and Nipsey Russell), the show finally dropped the word "new" from its title.
