Pyramid game show bonus round -- Down to the Wire #6 -- The $25,000 Pyramid - Adrienne Barbeau 

When this show was on the air in the 1980s, I saw Adrienne Barbeau several times. Very smart woman. Great clues.

No one can do the hundred-thousand-dollar pyramid better than Dick Clark.

"The Incredible Woman", especially under time pressure, is one of the best clues I've ever seen in this game.

Just love the genuine expression of emotions here during this time. Just can't see this happening now. When Dick kissed the winner on the cheek that was a sweet congratulations. Just can't see this happening now in our hyper sensitive & litigious times.

Adrienne Barbeau such a great player and looker.

Best game show ever

Adrienne Barbeau-The Phenom of Pyramid turns 64 today Happy Birthday to Adrienne and she still looks good.

Exciting win with great clues given by a wonderful person!!!!!

Things you pass-The driving test, your GED test, gas, a very important note.

WHOA, she got it!!

That was a close call.

The modern day dramatic buzzer beater.

Funny you might asked. In Donny Osmond's Version. Prepositional phrases are prohibited. However, he said the exception is the use of the word "Of" such as "The capitol of New York" or "New York's Capitol"

You gotta love when someone just barely makes it.

A tough board for 10k

I would have said "tough categories."

@anonyms404 It's close to "the blank incredible woman," but there is every chance that the contestant may not understand at all the implication of "the incredible woman" as a clue, so the "unstated fill in the blank" strategy is a risk. As such, it's actually allowed. Some women are incredible and some aren't: a perfectly acceptable list item.

It would have been really clever if Adrienne has passed on "Things You Pass" and then when they got back to it she had said "this subject". We'll never know but I wonder if that would have been allowed. I can't see why not. There's nothing in the rules against being meta.

I could see why there is clock, and there is $25,000 Pyramid version of a buzzer beater.

RIP Dick Clark

A DIFFICULT PYRAMID CLUE - Things You Pass

For "things you pass". Difficult questions, The parcel, a joint

At 1:20, this is why the phrase "some of this game" was allowed.....Normally, prepositional phrases arent allowed but in this case, Adrianne used the preposition "of" to refer to the pronoun "some", which is general word. "Some" could mean a lot of different things, so its allowed...if Adrianne had said "categories of this game" or "subjects of this game", then that probably would not have been allowed, cuz now its referring to something specific.

Things you pass? Football.

Yay, but the contestant almost blew it wasting time with "things that"

didnt think she was going to get that one!

“Things you pass” A football.

What if she would have said (for things you pass) This subject??

Thing that shrink: a psychologist, Rick Moranis, a used Cotton shirt

@0:12, the women were laughing about Richard having to play with his baby, Dick was stern

Parts of this game….Almost too descriptive.

Kidney stone would have been a good one for "pass"

If she had wanted to skip it, and said “pass” as a command to the guys in the back, that’s what’s known as a trap.

thats acceptable

Stumping categories

Adrienne’s first clues for THINGS YOU PASS were horrible. “This game”-well, that could be just about anything, couldn’t it? And a *faster* car, really? I’m glad the contestant got there, but she had to do some mental gymnastics to get there from her partner’s clues. Better clues would have been: an easy test, “the buck,” a class, etc. Of course, I don’t have a clock ticking away, but still….

Before Seinfeld episode on shrinkage.

"Some of this game"....I always thought prepositions got buzzed.

Seems all of the down to the wire videos are for $10,000. Not seen one for more.

She went to my high school

Was The Incredible Woman a movie?

I REALLY hope that this was the only time that Things you Pass was used in this game. Hopefully SOMEONE realized how fucked up it was since it really meant the clue giver couldn't say PASS IT to go on to the next time without getting buzzed. It should have been common sense for the main word of the answer to NOT be a common word used on the game.

For "Things you Pass," how about "Monopoly's 'GO...'"

The Thanksgiving gravy, for "Things You Pass"

I DON'T know how she got that!!

Am I wrong, or should Adrienne have been buzzed for saying "some of this game"?

Things you pass is an evil category... how many people would say pass pass to get to the $300
