Other poster: So I'm still thinking that they waiting on new episodes of $25K Pyramid, but there's been a delay in converting the tapes. Or they're having difficulty negotiating with Sony over the cost of the episodes.
Please. The cost of 25K Pyramid must be $4.95. Nobody else in the cable universe wants the show. We're not bidding on the NFL here. And I don't think that tape conversion has anything to do with it, either. The network just looks uncertain how to use the various versions of Pyramid.
Right now GSN's online schedule shows next week (May 14-20) with Donnymid at 10:30AM and 25K Pyramid on Friday night. This doesn't agree with the latest pdf, but the network may send out a new one Monday. I'll post whatever I get. (GSN just sent a new pdf that does agree with the online schedule...but only for May 14-20! And now GSN has sent out another revised pdf that has Donnymid on Friday night, May 18. I give up.)
From the ratings, the most sensible option would be just the opposite of what the online schedule currently shows: 25K Pyramid in the morning, where it gets okay numbers, and Donnymid replacing it on Friday night, where it gets godawful numbers. But stay tuned. Who knows what will happen next week?
UPDATE: Maybe GSN can't figure out which previous version of Pyramid to put on the schedule, but BuzzerBlog's Alex Davis reports the network is rushing its own version. He says that the pilot shoots June 11, and if the show get picked up, the regular eps start taping July 24.
