No, that's Martha Smith (who did Super Password))

Martha Smith was on $25,000 Pyramid?

[Chameleonwhammy]

Yup. She was.

Wasn't she on $25,000 Pyramid?

No...she was pretty much exclusively on Password, and she was one of the celebrity players who was on there frequently.. I don't recall her being on any other game shows, at least not offhand.

All these game shows are celebrity driven and have done very well. I wonder if GSN is going to get celebrities for their remake of $100,000 Pyramid, or just have 2 contestants on each team

I noticed advertisements for other programming from the Game Show Network appearing during "Password Plus" when no password is on the screen. I appreciate the programmers' efforts to keep the advertisements away from obscuring the passwords, but those advertisements are a distraction still and they devalue the programs for folks who want to record them.

If you mean like "Coming up next: $25,000 Pyramid" or "Baggage new at 6/5c tonight", a lot of cable network do this. GSN isn't alone. But its been annoying in the past when they've popped up when something is on the screen we need to see.

Sorry. They aren't going away.

But does everybody understand that TV networks, mainly cable ones advertise the heck out of their shows. The have ads going across the bottom of the screen, big and more often than GSN (I'm mainly talking about TBS here)

I would hope everyone realizes that. It's 2012 and the crawls have been going on for at least 10 years or more, and I've got shows recorded from CBS in which the end credits were what you see now with commercials for other shows from 97.

[Chameleonwhammy]

Well, I missed them both today. Thankfully there are the encore presentations.

The funniest thing just happened to me with Password Plus.

I turned on GSN at around 1:30AM to watch Baggage/Jeopardy! and expecting to see Pyramid come on since I had absolutely no idea of this schedule change, I was in absolute awe and excitement when I saw the Password Plus logo come up with Gene Wood announcing and the of course, epic theme. What's also awesome to know, they finally got rid of Card Sharks and replaced it with the classic Password Plus/Super Password block again.

[Lingofan97]

I don't get why GSN airs the exact same episodes as 10am and 11am in the morning of Super Password and Password Plus.

[Chameleonwhammy]

An up side to having the episodes repeat is they're not burning the show out as fast like they did with Card Sharks.
