It's intended to be a 30-minute show.

As well as the daytime version. Is the daytime version called The $100,000
Pyramid, The $1,000,000 Pyramid, or simply Pyramid?

Daytime = $100K
Prime Time = $1MM

If anyone has posted the format of the $100K version, I haven't seen
it...everyone who has related stories seems to have attended the $1M pilot
taping.

As far as game play and set is concerned, it's the same.
Sorry, had I thought about it, I'd have asked some folks I
knew who were there.

Right, but what about the scoring? $1K/point seems like an awful lot to
give away on a daytime show. And what's the "scoring tier" for the
Winner's Circle?

Answers, I have none.

$300 for the top row, $200 for the middle, $100 on the
bottom. If you're referring to the plateaus, I couldn't
tell you -- perhaps you could ask Steve Beverly to ask one
of his "insiders" or some station manager of great repute
from the #98 or #150 market.

Jim stops and gets out the car, goes to a house in Emperor's
gate, through the door and to his room, then he puts the TV
on, turns it off and makes some tea, says, Modern Life Is
Rubbish, I'm holding on for tomorrow; then Susan comes into
the room,
she's a naughty girl with a lovely smile, says let's take a
drive to Primrose Hill, it's windy there and the view's so
nice, London ice can freeze your toes like anyone I suppose
I'm holding on for tomorrow...
