Will PYRAMID replace AS THE WORLD TURNS?

This show was one of the game shows in the running to replace GUIDING LIGHT as well. In addition to PYRAMID, which is looking for a host, CBS will probably order at least one more game show pilot (probably PASSWORD) in consideration for the ATWT time slot.

  1. CBS should expand B&B to an hour, then have a half-hour Pyramid.

  2. CBS must have no interest in younger viewers? They've been considering recycled game shows for years. You would think they would try to create something new. And I agree about half-hour for the show. An hour is way too much. Actually, for me, anything is too much but they're going there regardless.
