References in pop culture: The Pyramid game is satirized on Dr. Dre's 1992 rap album, "The Chronic", as "The $20 Sack Pyramid" where the players attempt to win some weed and money for a "swap meet".
Bob Stewart Productions returns?
Could it be that Stewart returned to television back in 2002 by becoming a silent partner for Pyramid? I found his company name at the Internet Movie Data Base. King Shadeed 15:14, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
- Probably an error by someone who lumped it in with the other versions. Stewart was credited on the 2002 as creator of the format though. Scrabbleship 16:07, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
- Where, exactly? I don't remember seeing his name in the credits. Green Lantern
{{Split-apart}}
I added this tag in the article page because it is getting too long, and some sections are getting attention away from the main focus. Rather than adding {{verylong}}, it would be better to leave this tag alone until we can work this article out. --Gh87 09:22, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
- Support. This article has just gotten WAY too long, and there's way too much information for each version of the show that I persoanlly feel that the need their own articles. FamicomJL 19:15, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
- Support, but keep it to a minimum. In my opinion, three articles are necessary. The first should have information on the original 3 Pyramids ($10K, $20K, and original $25K), the second should have the info about the '80s versions and the John Davidson-hosted revival, and the third should be about the Osmond version. --ChrisP2K5 19:29, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- Support, however a hypothetical split should have the $50K in with the $10K/$20K/original $25K rather than in with the '80s/Davidson versions given that version was closer to its predecessors than its followers. Scrabbleship 22:51, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
- 'Note', Right down to the theme, even. FamicomJL 00:55, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
- Response. I agree with that, however I don't believe the Osmond version has enough info to warrant a new article. FamicomJL 23:20, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- Support Yes, the article is a bit lengthy. Gamesurf 22:33, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
- Support. I think it should be split too. I think that the 70s versions should be on one page, the 80s version and Davidson's on another, and Osmond's on a third. Also, at least mention should be made (if it hasn't already) about the late 1990s pilots (one of which, I think, was hosted by Chuck Woolery). TenPoundHammer 06:14, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
- Support. I already got the ball rolling by splitting the sections on game and tournament play off into a separate article. Starbuck-2 10:59, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
- That's not going to help, Starbuck-2. It's easier to do it with separate versions. --ChrisP2K5 01:54, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
- Shall we re-integrate the split-apart sections into the main article until we can find an effective method? --Green Lantern 02:45, 18 March 2006
- That's not going to help, Starbuck-2. It's easier to do it with separate versions. --ChrisP2K5 01:54, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
- Strongly Support. This article is way too long. We need detailed pages for each version because they were very different throughout their separate runs. KansasCity 13:38, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
