Dick Clark Tribute 4-18 through 4-21

[Lingofan97]

GSN only has Clark's episodes of Pyramid, so they wouldn't be showing anything else. Hopefully there will be a second hour of Pyramid tomorrow, but we will have to see.

UPDATE: According to GSN's twitter, they will be airing Osmond's Pyramid tomorrow at 1 and 1:30pm

I have $25,000 Pyramid on my TV right now, but I have not seen any 15-second tribute anywhere during the Friday night airings so far. Why is this?

What 15 second tribute? But at the bottom of the screen, it says "Remembering Dick Clark"

To honor the beloved host, we will be airing a 15-second tribute during all the regular runs of $25,000 Pyramid on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of this week (starting tonight with the 3:00am airing). In addition, we will be adding an hour of $25,000 Pyramid on Saturday 4/21 at noon, and will run the tribute during that hour as well.

I would have assumed there to be a 15-second silent bumper or something, just like with the Merv Griffin tribute marathon back in 2007.

I don't think GSN would do that. I doubt they would mess something like that up, but you never know

But only if Dick is on those episodes.

Yes, I know for a fact (because I remember watching these in first-run) that Dick Clark was a celebrity guest on three episodes of Donny Osmond's version in November 2002, and here were his celebrity opponents on those days:

11/25/02 - Betty White
11/26/02 - Coolio
11/27/02 - Karri Turner

They showed the "Remembering Dick Clark" in the bottom right corner of the screen, and it didn't seem to last 15 seconds. But still, it is a nice thing to do to pay tribute to such a charismatic host.

EDIT: I just saw the 15-second tribute just now.

I saw that too. "Remembering Dick Clark" was at the bottom right corner of the screen all night.

The 15-second tribute was a nice touch during the commercial breaks. And glad to see GSN pick up my suggestion of showing Donny's episodes with Dick Clark playing as a celebrity, though, there was no advance promotion of them, and my TV guide still listed Deal or No Deal at 1 pm.

Goes to show you though, that GSN does have the rights to a lot of game shows that they just choose not to air on their TV schedule, for one reason or another.

It was a nice tribute to Dick, that's for sure.

I finally saw the tribute today, and I was glad GSN did something like that. I'm surprised that ABC or CBS doesn't have something planned like showing one of Clark's shows from the 50's, 60's, 70's or 80's

I kind of wish they did some sort of real tribute. I know they did a block of it as usual for Flashback Friday but, I mean why not run it all day on Sunday and show some tidbits.

What GSN should also do is maybe a documentary special on Dick Clark. I'm happy what GSN has done but they could have done more.

Or what if GSN showed the Challengers? I don't know who owns it but Dick also did that show.

A good special about him would be good and would it do well?

That was brought up somewhere else and I'm sure it's not coming back

[jhshifris]

Oh, I see. They're also good ideas.
