The thing I can see going wrong is if The Pyramid does anything like the Osmond version did: weird taping schedule
What the hell does this have to do with anything?
According to someone on either ATGS (when it was good) or here, the Osmond version would the front games all at once followed by the Winner's Circle rounds. And I distinctly remember reading that it took hours for a single taping session and the warmup guy sucked.

Not like they showed the audience on-camera, anyway...
If "Donnymid" was being discussed, ATGS was nowhere near good. The mass migration away was right after the show premiered.

That being said, that fact sounds familiar. But again, you keep cowering in fear that "New Pyramid" is going to suck, despite the fact that more and more things show otherwise.

/I did see the "Donnymid" audience once

I saw the audience several times on donnymid. Usually it was right before the winners circle round began, as the contestant told Donny who he/she brought with them to the show.

I'm also wondering if we're going to see the anal-retentive judging that plagued Donnymid.  Hope there's not going to be more "Nuh uh...that said 'THINGS A PICKUP TRUCK WOULD SAY' and you only said 'WHAT A TRUCK SAYS' "

Talking about the D-list celebs, I can rattle off several names of celebrities who appeared on earlier Pyramid versions - and the only reason I know their names is because they were on Pyramid. Perhaps names like Shelley Smith and Brian Mitchell were better known in their respective decades for something other than Pyramid, I don't know.

Just a thought.

Access Hollywood now has a couple of video interviews from the set, one with Mike Richards and another (under "related videos") of Community's Yvette Nicole Brown and Danny Pudi (VERY excited to see them as celebs!).

Honestly--and I am far from a TPiR fanboi, and actually enjoy his production of LMaD--Richards comes off as off-putting in the video, like he's only pretending to be happy and excited.  Maybe it's just me, though...

Brian Mitchell was on Trapper John M.D. and Shelly Smith was on a short-lived early '80s sitcom called The Associates, which also starred Martin Short and Wilfrid Hyde-White.

  • Just leave the set; that’d be terrific.

I believe that was Mitch's point.

On a repeat that aired recently on GSN, Henry Polic noted that people were recognizing him on the street... but not for his theater work or for Webster, but for Pyramid.  I think that says a lot about Pyramid's 1980s regulars.

Funny thing was that I watched Webster a lot as a kid...I never remember seeing Henry Polic II at all.

(is Webster even airing anywhere anymore?)

I think Henry was more of a recurring guest star on Webster than a regular cast member.

Yes, this was my point exactly.

Further, didn't Trapper John M.D. also have so-and-so as the main star, and he was on Pyramid too and was pretty good?

You're thinking of Charlie Siebert (though he wasn't the main star of Trapper John...that was Pernell Roberts)
