$100,000 Pyramid - "Hour-long action tv shows, the A-Team!" - Markie Post

Markie Post and the contestant are playing for $100,000.
Markie and the contestant make it through the first 5 categories in good time, but get stuck on the last category. I love some of the creative clues Markie used - I would have added "Miami Vice" to the mix too 😂

I’m still amazed that she got ‘double o’ just from spoon…lot of different things it could have been…getting that one right away is why they won…left them a good amount of time… And Markie didn’t get flustered…kept cool and kept going…

Two men competed in this $100K tournament, but Debbie won seven of the eight maingames this week, so a rare chance for two men as contestants on the same show in the CLark era did not happen. It happened during a $50K tourney in 1981 and a Davidson tourney in 1991.

100k isn’t much money at all in September 2023 and rent is now running 🏃‍♀️ at least $2,000/month so it will last about 4 years. Not a big deal

BTW, all of the episodes that appeared in this 2008 New Year's Eve marathon have rerun on GameTV one time or another.

[@JsClassicTV]

When did they rerun on GameTV? Are they still on GameTV? I'd love for the community to have access to a better quality rip of these episodes vs the SLP mono copy that my grandparents recorded 😅

[@IvoryM1986]

@@JsClassicTV GameTV began rerunning this in September 2017 and this was one of the first Tournaments GameTV reran. Sam Mitchell’s pals actually sent him the entire packages of all the episodes GameTV reran so far of this, Split Second, TNG, as well as Talk About.

Could she have said a wild hurricane or a wild storm??

[@jeffreyjacobs9400]

I don’t think so…Markie said ‘little mattress’ for parts of a crib…and ‘football players’ for helmet…words that go together for a description…wild hurricane or wild storm are words that wouldn’t always go together for a description…she might have gotten away with ‘bad storm….;’ But if she thought it, she figured don’t chance it…

I don't have GSN, is Clark's Pyramid back on GSN?

AFAIK Clark's Pyramid hasn't aired for 10~ years on GSN. This is from 2008 new years special

You mean not since 2018 regularly before the GSN logo change to the current one, however it popped in during the 2018 Thanksgiving marathon. You gang meant the $100,000 Pyramid that hasn't been seen on GSN in 10 years. Thank God for GameTV picking up this flavor of the series.
