- Thanks for 1,000 subscribers! Things have been rough, but I'm hoping that for now on, things will be a bit smoother in bringing everyone a little game show fix. Enjoy this episode... it's one of my faves!
(July 6, 1976/Taped 1976)
Loretta Swit and Clifton Davis gather for another meeting at the The $8,000,000 Octagon. Jenna is the current champ who flopped yesterday due to a "pointed dome", but she's still going for the big bucks. However, her opponent Rich wants things to go his way. Who will successfully climb their way to success?

The Dick Clark NY Pyramids were the best. Real human emotions. You got the feeling the celebrities were just as excited as the winners. The set was not flashy by nice. It emphasized the game play. The 100,000 pyramid today tried to duplicate the opening but it doesn't work as well. Back then what fun to have the families run up on stage to celebrate. Now, not that people are not just as excited, but it seems more manufactured vs raw spontaneous emotions. Mike Gargiulo was an excellent director and really knew how to capture those real feelings. $20,000 dollars in 1976 is equivalent to a little over $104,000 today.
9:46: Yikes! Perfect clue strikes again.
Great stuff. It should be noted the extra excitement and drama at the end was due to, in part, that it was Jenna's fifth shot at the big money. In the $20k format, if you win a the winner's circle, you're retired.
Same with the $10,000 format on CBS & ABC
Wasn't this episode on the same week as the Richard Dawson Family Feud premiere?
i love this episode. ive seen it so many times and im just noticing for the first time the trilons flashing after the big win
20.02...leave it to Director Mike Gargiulo to bring the point home of a BIG win before the chyron would flash it. He'd do it on the $10,000 Pyramid and the Bill Cullen $25,000 Pyramid.
I love the quick cuts of the Pyramid crown during a win, because it showed the contestant won the title prize of the show. I wish they'd have done more of that in 81 with $50K (there were shots of the crown during wins, but not as quick as they used to be during this era).
When I read that a good portion of The $20,000 Pyramid had been wiped,I wonder if they could have put more than one show on a video tape,could more episodes have been saved.
i dont know if they were able to put more than one show on those old video tapes or not. on vhs tapes they definitely were but those old tapes were insanely expensive and took up a lot of space

Wait…no perfect 21 $1,000 bonus? When did they put that in place on the original “Pyramid”?
In Philadelphia Pennsylvania WPVI channel 6
Congrats on 1,000 subscribers. Will this motivate you to upload more of your videos now?
Jenna played this beautifully
Besides the $2,450 in the five games she won, she won $550 in the second bonus round, plus $17K for completing the pyramid for $20K.
What was Rich’s last name? I couldn’t quite make it out. Thanks.
I think he said "Hakse?"
*SHE DID IT!!!*
I think this was when they started having the prize money flash in Winner's Circle. Based on what little exists of 1973-1975 Daytime, that never happened at that point.
Great $20,000 win in '76
$17,550 earned in the final winner's circle.
@@paulnguyen8910 I'm assuming you're saying after taxes?
@@jmiller297 Negative, she had $2,450 before that.
Lord so close
Do you have any $10,000 pyramid abc shows
Very doubtful.
Five months after Clifton Davis had what was (allegedly) the very first $20,000 win, now it was Hot Lips' turn.
