**NOTE: The video is fuzzy, but it is recorded off of a practically-seven year old tape. Forgive me.** Here is the beginning of a 1973 episode of the 000 Pyramid. A clip of this exact scene is already posted (“Accurate inaccuracy on the 000 Pyramid” by ItzDaGMan), but let’s show once again how contestant Ernie gets stumped by a seemingly simple category.

It’s the $99 Pyramid!
@Quartzquiz To quote Gibert Gottfried on a episode of Hollywood Squares (Tom Bergeron version): YOU IDIOT!!!
@ThePGN Those must’ve played a big factor in the first CBS series.
@ThePGN I believe the “no hand gesture” rule went into effect when the first edition moved to ABC in late March 1974. Also (and you were right about the second one), the United States was going through inflation, abnormally high crude oil (gasoline) prices, expensive meats and pork, the effects of the Vietnam War, and, of course, who can forget the famous Watergate scandal that forced Richard Nixon to disgracefully resign from U.S. presidency in August of that year.
Liz just passed away today.
@MorristownTNMan That’s what I think too, but I think that’s Tony Randall.
That hippie in the winner’s circle was a dumb motherfucker.
Bring this show back CBS!!!
Was that Bob Barker @ time index 0:16?
The flashback openings in order consisted of celebrities Joel Grey “Things On A Ceiling”, Tony Randall “Picnic Items”, JoAnne Worley “Things That Go On The Hand”, Lucie Arnaz “Things In A Bottle”, Anita Gillette “Things You Break” . Very exciting days for early Pyramid. Lots more excitement, the lights raced at lightning speed around the giant pyramid, the audience was always super-pumped at The Ed Sullivan Theatre (the balconies really added to the theatrical feel of the show) and Dick Clark !
This is an oldie. They stopped letting the clue giver use their hands somewhere along the line and also moved the chairs so they were directly across from each other. Must have been giving too much of the 10K away!
Amazing that the celebrities seemed to be even more thrilled with a $10,000 win than the civilian players. Great theme song, I wish they had kept this theme in 1982 also.
@DownsA530 When were people prohibited from using their hands in the winners circle?
Yeah. Btw, sorry about yesterday; things got chaotic after we drove around, and I couldn’t get on the computer.
@DownsA530 That sucks… After all that work!
Liz’s Husbands: TOUGH CATEGORY!!!!!
He lost to the next challenger the following Monday (you’ll see who beat him in part 3 of this clip) in an episode with Sandy Duncan and Ed Asner. So he didn’t win the $10,000.
anybody know if he ended up winning the big money eventually?
@DownsA530 I bet he regrets it to this day
That shirt probably gave it away, huh?
I don’t blame them; it should’ve been a layup!
That audience absolutely wanted to KILL him! And for very good reason!
He was prob straight.
Or high.
Yes indeed. Barbara couldn’t have given a better list than she did. How he couldn’t figure it out baffles me.
That last subject should have been found immediately.
