$20,000 Pyramid 9/14/1977 - William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy - Part 1

[@elijahmoses5675]

September 14, 1977 was also the day the "Yolanda" incident occurred on that day's episode of "The Price Is Right".

Crazy day in game shows, ay?? Lolol...

[@JeopardyandWheelFan]

The full episode of William Shatner playing the Winner's Circle by himself was originally broadcast on June 27, 1975 when it was The $10,000 Pyramid.

I have the Monday ep, and the defending champion at the end of the day doesn't appear in this clip. The returning champion here is going for $20,000, so she had to have started no sooner than Tuesday. There's also a clip of the opening of the next day's show, so it can't be Friday either.

I believe the whole week is up, I know I have the other four episodes in my collection

[@meyerj75]

This is from the only copy of this episode that is known to exist. ABC didn't cease & desist its wiping policy until early 1978.

September 16, 1977 was a Friday.

[@TheKid965]

Perhaps, but parts of it still kind of work today; the octagonal shapes behind the players still look kind of nice, if abstract. And the big Pyramid itself is, of course, a timeless classic. Bob Stewart was a master of stretching a small production budget about as far as it could go. The original Pyramid set is a fine example. While most of it hasn't aged well, for the time it looked like a *ton* of money was spent on it.

This is 9/14. 9/16 was a Friday show, and they used the memorable part on the next show.

spock and kirk battling it on the pryamid lol

[@VahanNisanian]

This wasn't the first time Kirk and Spock played against each other. They did the same thing during the week of September 6-10, 1976.

Is Bill OK...? The Pyramid flop makes me wonder (Scotty voice) Is the lad awwight???

[@georgemaster9952]

This and Sal Viscuso/Billy Crystal are the only eps with two men-generally it's man and woman.

[@samturner64]

And Tony Randall/Dick Cavett in 1979!

[@collegeman1988]

What a kitchy looking game show set.

[@jmiller297]

Come on, now, it was the '70s!! Kitchy was considered chic back then... LOL. ;-)

[@TELEVISIONARCHIVES]

I have a better copy of this show. When I find it I will post it

[@terminalfrost3645]

did you find it?

[@samturner64]

@@terminalfrost3645 guess they didn't :/

[@MsZelda113]

Oh, wow, thanks for that! I'm used to watching them when they are old! They look so young! Shatner was hot! Still, I'll always be a Spock girl!!!

[@georgemaster9952]

What? Peter Marshall NOT mentioned as one of the clues? For shame!!!!

[@wschmrdr]

NBC host on an ABC show?! Blasphemy!

[@georgemaster9952]

Seems as though Mr.Shatner acted crazy only on this show.
