@@nintendonerdsvideos4727 That's allowed when the subject is a "where." All the clues given are prepositional phrases ("In the den," "In a bar.") and they didn't get buzzed (also, you don't get buzzed for an illegal clue, you get the cuckoo clock sound).
I'd say in the window display of an electronic store. Back when tvs were new they'd set up all the brands of tv's in their storefront window hoping ppl would stop, watch, and ultimately buy a TV set.
I wanted her to say in an Appliance Store but sometimes they buzz and say the clue was too descriptive. I’ve watched it since ‘79 and can’t work out exactly what is illegal or not.
@@heynow5000 First sports bar was in 1979 in Long Beach. This episode was only four years later, so yes, it may well have failed as a clue. Like "smoothie"--a term going back to the '60s, in fact--here (also from 1983): ruclips.net/video/oKEBsR1wnZw/видео.html
Eric Nelson On Pyramid, “things” do not have to be literal objects. If a subject was “Things That Are Strong”, Hulk Hogan or Arnold Schwarzenegger would be great clues.
In this case, the speed of the clues wasn't the issue, it was partly the quality of them and also how the contestant didn't connect. I would probably take a little beat and more deliberate in coming up with a clue rather than maybe blurting something out which might end up being an illegal clue. This was the daytime version of the show, I might be more picky about speed on the 80s $100,000 version since the clock determines who gets in the tournament.
RIP Patty Duke 👍😢
What a great lady she was extremely beautiful and very talented!!!!!
And R.I.P. her twin Cathy, too! 😀👍
I thought it was Tony Danza and Patty was the contestant in the thumbnail..RIP Patty.Miss you.
he got it just as the buzzer went off.
He said "television" too late. That was the keyword, but the buzzer came first
Hmmm.
Would “In the Den” & “In the Living Room” both be considered a description???
The buzzer sounded clearly before he said the key word. Right call by the judge.
"Below the rabbit ears."
buzz
@@nintendonerdsvideos4727 Why buzz?

Great clue.
Rip Dick Clark. Wow. That was close. But hey $850 not bad. I wouldn't mine winning $850. Thanks for posting this.
On a hotel room dresser, in an entertainment center
Nowadays it would be airport boarding areas, waiting rooms, sports bars, train stations, etc.
I would've said appliance store if the others didn't cut it.
Yeah, sports bars came to me quickly.
In your pocket...
I still have one in my living room
Next to the Atari.
LOVE IT!!!
In A Waiting Room, In A Store's Electronic's Section, In A Limo, In A Motor Home.
In a barber shop. In a living room. In a den.
I'd say in the window display of an electronic store. Back when tvs were new they'd set up all the brands of tv's in their storefront window hoping ppl would stop, watch, and ultimately buy a TV set.
and the irony of a Sony factory
I agreed with Patty with the brand name rule.
Right at 0:00, " a television". AUUUUUURGH!!!
I think he was a hair before the buzzer
Great "Charlie Brown" yell!
@@StukInBuf AAAAAUUUUUUGGGHHHH!!!
Boy, it's super easy to play Pyramid in a computer chair without the pressure of a clock ticking down, isn't it?
For sure!
@@jmiller297 Oh,yes!
Or to come waltzing in with the perfect clue after the clock runs out.
On top of a stand, Under an Antenna
Thanks for the memories!!! 😊
In an Electronic Store!
Where you see a TV is a tough one. I thought appliance store. That one was not easy IMO. Just too many appliances out there.
Back seat of a car?
Maybe in a limo, not a car.
I wouldve said In a Newsroom
In front of a sofa where the remote control is sitting. 😂👍😀
He said it on the buzzer
Nope. Sorry.
You could find a TV "at Radio Shack"!
At circuit city.
Silo, Radio Shack, Sears, JCPenney.
In the back seat of a car?
How did she not get buzzed by "backseat of a car"?
Yeah, it’s a fine line of being too descriptive. She should have said car backseat.
She should've gotten the buzzer right then and there
I wanted her to say in an Appliance Store but sometimes they buzz and say the clue was too descriptive. I’ve watched it since ‘79 and can’t work out exactly what is illegal or not.
oh I am an eagle I live in high country
Next to the remote control. Under the rabbit ears.
I would have said on a stand, on the wall, in the movie room...
Under an antenna, ; )
In a sports bar.
Lee T. Walker no sports bars in 1983

You watch TV ‘in the back seat of a car’?
In a limousine, yes.
@@mr29 Still sounded funny.
I’m with Patty Duke. I would’ve shied away from factory listings or brand names. If you went past three words, you were in buzzer territory.
The perfect was the phrase that would have been "A Magnavox showroom"
So, they're actually was a limited number of words that could be given as a clue to each subject? A limit that they kept purposefully vague?
*Dick coming in with "you should have said this" again. He has no shame.*
Ouch at 1:36.
If I were Dick Clark, I would've given it to him because he was on the buzzer.
"In Dick Tracy's watch."
How did she not buzzed for Twiggy
Eric Nelson Twiggy was the stage name for a model who received that name because she was skinny. It’s acceptable.
@@thechadmosher I know but it's "things" that are skinny, she referred to an individual.
Eric Nelson On Pyramid, “things” do not have to be literal objects. If a subject was “Things That Are Strong”, Hulk Hogan or Arnold Schwarzenegger would be great clues.
I didn't hear her say twiggy
@@Getrealpeeps the 1:20 mark... You're Welcome.
She's very slow at giving clues.
I thought she did as well as could be expected; any other "Pyramid" show I've seen her in, she was very concise in her clues.
She wasn't at her best here, especially with the tv clues. But normally Patty Duke was quite good at giving clues.
