Scheduling Pyramid

GSN has released the advance schedule for the September 3-9 week of Pyramid's premiere. You can check the Word document in the sidebar. As previously announced, the Pyramid first-runs will fill the 6:00PM half-hour. Another tweak is that GSN will hammock the show with Harvey Feud, their highest-rated effort, at 5:30PM and 6:30PM. The network is giving Pyramid every chance to succeed.

Repeats of the show will take over the Friday night stack from the low-rated 25K Pyramid. GSN was using those old Dick Clark eps as unpaid advertising for its own version of the format. Pyramid repeats will also get a couple weekend slots.

The show gets 13 slots a week all told, which is certainly plenty of exposure. Rest assured that every single episode of the 40-ep order will get a workout over the next few months. GSN has worked hard to generate buzz for this remake, and the network will not hide its light under a bushel. At least Pyramid should withstand the abuse better than the much shorter runs of American Bible Challenge and Beat the Chefs.
