$1,000,000 Pyramid pilot clips/stills

This must've been uploaded to YT in the past few days...comes from the 2009 pilot that CBS turned down. Somebody who was there must've shot it off the monitors.

It seems like a good set, and closely follows the original set. GSN's set should feature a similar set like this, and also I would like to see the audience in the back of the players.

This is so awesome to see. I don't think I heard any theme music playing, though, or did it? Plus it would've been cool to hear the "plonk" timer in the Winner's Circle, but that's just a bit of a nitpick.

I don't think anything played regarding the theme music. It would be OK to here the Winner's Circle clock ticker, but it was just a pilot that never even made it to air.

Along with the cuckoo and the buzzer SFX...just to see if they kept it close to faithful to the original.

I didn't expect much out of the original. An idea of The $1,000,000 Pyramid is a failure in my opinion. Pyramid should only be worth $100,000 tops, which is why it is better for GSN to produce The Pyramid, rather than a big network with millions.

The set looks very good - whoever worked on it, and other aspects of the look and feel are obviously respectful of the earlier versions. Seems like the set they're using in the GSN version to come - based on that one picture that "leaked" - comes from this.

The GSN set, the $1,000,000 pilot set and the Clark set all look very similar. Donny's Pyramid is the only set so far that is far apart of all the "Pyramid" pilots we know about. Of course there was the 1997 pilot with Chuck Woolery as well, which didn't end up close to making it to air.

Buzzerblog has a combined clip of the open along with a W/C win from it. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

There's a story on Buzzerblog about this about the history of The Pyramid, the mid 90's (1996 with Mark Walberg and revivals, and 1997 with Chuck Woolery) Donny's versions, and all the attempted remakes since 2009 on CBS, TNT and now GSN.
