Hello everyone! Long time, no post!

I wish to ask anyone in the forum if there were such a thing as a primetime TPIR Christmas Special sometime in the late 1980s. For some reason, I recall it happening, but I do not believe it existed.

If someone could help me with that, it would be truly appreciated. Thanks a lot.

You're wrong and correct, in that order. Didn't happen.

Along those same lines of foggy memories regarding primetime specials...

Aside from the 9/2/79 $20K Pyramid primetime special (with a young Rob Lowe, Tammy Lauren, et al.), were there ever any other Pyramid primetime specials? I could almost swear I remember watching another one besides that one...

I think there were a couple of "Junior Pyramid" specials similar to that. I think they were shown on Sunday evenings during the late-70s.

Me being not born, I wouldn't know for sure. :-P I've just read about them.

There was supposed to be a TPIR Christmas Primetime special taped in November 2002, but it never happened.

Maybe you are confusing this with the Home viewer Christmas showcase?

If Roger and Co. knew in time about DOND, TPIR could have done an Xmas special and CBS could have aired it against the Friday DOND. Or they could have aired the unaired MDS from last Spring.

I can confirm that there were. There were a couple of times they aired on Labor Day weekend, and I think one more that aired in the wintertime. When I get time I'll try to go through my TVGuides and get exact dates!
