Game Time: All Star Junior Pyramid (1979)

ABC used a 1-shot special night edition of The $20,000 Pyramid as a vehicle to introduce some of the young stars of two of the network's freshman comedies of 1979, only one of whom is still active today.

That would be Rob Lowe, who plays game 2 of All Star Junior Pyramid with Susan Richardson (Eight is Enough). Richardson won both games, the first one with David Hollander, Lowe's castmate on A New Kind of Family. Tony Danza (then on Taxi) is matched with Out of The Blue's Tammy Lauren (ex-Who's Watching The Kids?) and Olivia Barash. Announcer Bob Clayton (ex-Concentration) takes us in and out of the commercial breaks.

Forgive the video quality.



The poster intentionally mislabeled the video in order to get a few extra clicks.

Standard game play, even with a flub in the Winner's Circle after game 1.

Rating: B- (due to the video quality).
