I would assume the people at GSN can read a ratings report. If $25K was doing well in the AM and they axed it for Osmonds version, one would assume they'd do the same on Friday night where the ratings sucked.

The new PDF for this week is up on Casey's blog. $25,000 Pyramid is still listed for Friday night, but it still says "new" in the episode number slot. Until actual episode numbers show up, I wouldn't be too quick to believe that $25K airing on Friday is a reality. Unless any future changes to the PDF reflect actual episode numbers, I would expect Osmond on Friday night again.
I agree, either that or the timing was just really, really out of whack. I don't mind Donnymid coming on later in the day weekdays or the Friday night block (even tho I don't care about those). But there should be at least one morning and/or overnight airings of Dick's version. It's one of the highest rated classics on GSN.

Did anyone notice Alex on Twitter kept talking about Blockbusters and GSN today? When I first saw it I thought Blockbusters would come back, which would never happen.
I'm mad too that GSN doesn't air 25K in the mornings anymore. Osmond's Pyramid is too much for 8-9-10am depending what time zone you're in. Ratings will fall a little bit for Password Plus and Super Password, since $25K was a good lead in and lead out.
Check the date on the bottom of the pdf page and see when it was last updated.
Did anyone actually see what ran in the 10:30am slot today? My cable box electronic guide showed $25k Pyramid, and is still showing that for tonight at 3am. I'll see for myself what airs tonight at 3am...
As of Friday (and I guess today) it still shows The $25,000 Pyramid (Clark) on Friday night, but I doubt it will happen. GSN can't make up their mind, but I'm glad programming is better than a couple months ago
I don't have much to say on the whole Donnymid thing aside from that it needs to be on later in the day. As far as Clark and Stewart...I have been wondering if there is some issue with Dick's estate and the airing of 25k/100k (Password is still airing, it should be noted), and I agree that it's a slap to the legacy of both of those men to pull Clark Pyramid, if it was GSN's move.
$25K Pyramid is listed again on Monday, and is still listed on Friday night as well. Make of that what you will.
