LOVE IT!!!

What a great lady she was extremely beautiful and very talented!!!!!

And R.I.P. her twin Cathy, too! 😀👍

buzz

@@nintendonerdsvideos4727 Why buzz?

@@pjabrony8280 prepositional phrase

@@nintendonerdsvideos4727 That's allowed when the subject is a "where." All the clues given are prepositional phrases ("In the den," "In a bar.") and they didn't get buzzed (also, you don't get buzzed for an illegal clue, you get the cuckoo clock sound).

Great clue.

For sure!

@@jmiller297 Oh,yes!

Or to come waltzing in with the perfect clue after the clock runs out.

Maybe in a limo, not a car.

I would've said appliance store if the others didn't cut it.

Yeah, sports bars came to me quickly.

In your pocket...

I still have one in my living room

In a barber shop. In a living room. In a den.

I'd say in the window display of an electronic store. Back when tvs were new they'd set up all the brands of tv's in their storefront window hoping ppl would stop, watch, and ultimately buy a TV set.

He said "television" too late. That was the keyword, but the buzzer came first

Hmmm. Would “In the Den” & “In the Living Room” both be considered a description???

The buzzer sounded clearly before he said the key word. Right call by the judge.

I agreed with Patty with the brand name rule.

I think he was a hair before the buzzer

Great "Charlie Brown" yell!

@@StukInBuf AAAAAUUUUUUGGGHHHH!!!

Silo, Radio Shack, Sears, JCPenney.

Where you see a TV is a tough one. I thought appliance store. That one was not easy IMO. Just too many appliances out there.

Nope. Sorry.

Yeah, it’s a fine line of being too descriptive. She should have said car backseat.

She should've gotten the buzzer right then and there

Lee T. Walker no sports bars in 1983

@@heynow5000 First sports bar was in 1979 in Long Beach. This episode was only four years later, so yes, it may well have failed as a clue. Like "smoothie"--a term going back to the '60s, in fact--here (also from 1983): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oKEBsR1wnZw.html

In a limousine, yes.

@@mr29 Still sounded funny.

The perfect was the phrase that would have been "A Magnavox showroom"

So, they're actually was a limited number of words that could be given as a clue to each subject? A limit that they kept purposefully vague?

If I were Dick Clark, I would've given it to him because he was on the buzzer.

Eric Nelson Twiggy was the stage name for a model who received that name because she was skinny. It’s acceptable.

@@thechadmosher I know but it's "things" that are skinny, she referred to an individual.

Eric Nelson On Pyramid, “things” do not have to be literal objects. If a subject was “Things That Are Strong”, Hulk Hogan or Arnold Schwarzenegger would be great clues.

I didn't hear her say twiggy

@@Getrealpeeps the 1:20 mark... You're Welcome.

I thought she did as well as could be expected; any other "Pyramid" show I've seen her in, she was very concise in her clues.

She wasn't at her best here, especially with the tv clues. But normally Patty Duke was quite good at giving clues.

In this case, the speed of the clues wasn't the issue, it was partly the quality of them and also how the contestant didn't connect. I would probably take a little beat and more deliberate in coming up with a clue rather than maybe blurting something out which might end up being an illegal clue. This was the daytime version of the show, I might be more picky about speed on the 80s $100,000 version since the clock determines who gets in the tournament.
