Okay, let's talk Pyramid. The $100,000 Pyramid, to be exact. Is it winking back at us in 2024? The question burns brighter than a contestant under the studio lights!
Rumors swirl, like clues floating in a category. But will we see Michael Strahan grinning from our screens again, handing out oversized checks?
The Case for Its Return
People are obsessed with nostalgia. TV loves rebooting old favorites. A new Pyramid season feels almost inevitable.
Plus, game shows are cheap to produce. Networks love that! They get high ratings with minimal costs. A win-win for everyone but the contestants' nerves.
Consider the success of other revivals. Jeopardy! and Family Feud are still going strong. Pyramid has similar appeal!
Evidence Pointing Towards a New Season
Let's examine the evidence. The show was a hit for ABC in recent years! The ratings were surprisingly good.
Strahan is still hosting other shows. He clearly has the time and the charisma. This makes him perfect to come back.
And frankly, who *wouldn't* want to see celebrities flailing to give clues? It's pure, unadulterated entertainment!
My Hot Take (Prepare Yourself)
Okay, here's my unpopular opinion. I think we secretly want it back, even if we pretend we're too cool for it.
Don't deny it! The thrill of watching someone stammer out "Things that are...sticky!" is undeniably captivating. It's a train wreck you can't look away from!
But secretly? The show is somewhat generic. It is not as sophisticated as some of the other shows.
Why It Might NOT Return
Let's play devil's advocate. The game show landscape is crowded. Will Pyramid stand out enough?
Maybe the network feels it's run its course...for now. Sometimes shows get shelved for a while before resurfacing. I hope this doesn't happen.
And let's be real, Strahan is a busy man. Perhaps his schedule simply won't allow it.
The Verdict (Maybe?)
So, is $100,000 Pyramid coming back in 2024? The answer, like the clues on the show, remains frustratingly vague.
We can hope, we can speculate, but ultimately, we're at the mercy of the TV gods. And their decision-making process is as mysterious as the categories on the pyramid itself!
My gut tells me that yes, it *will* eventually return. Too much money and fun to be left on the table.
So keep your eyes peeled, folks. And practice your clue-giving skills, just in case! You never know when that pyramid might reappear. You might even find yourself on it.
Until then, we'll keep dreaming of those oversized checks and the sweet, sweet sound of victory! And secretly hoping to see another celebrity completely botch a simple clue.
After all, isn't that what Pyramid is really all about?
Let the games begin!
