Beverly, of course, is the pompous right-wing ass who probably has as
many skeletons in his closet as Larry Craig or Gov. Stanford.
The game he has complained about many times (a game built around what
was under kilts worn by men) was, in my view, more out of place than
dirty, but could be expected, considering that NBC had given the show
to the producers of "Blind Date" under orders to hip it up.
Considering that the word is that the "Pyramid" pilot (from Michael
Davies of "Millionaire") is very much old-school "Pyramid" without the
modernistic set tweaks and attempts of faux hipness of the Donny
Osmond remake ("What Regis Philbin's Coffee Cup Would Say"?), I would
guess that CBS wants in its daytime game shows comfort food, which,
for Drew Carey and the other tweaks made lately, "Price is Right"
still is. Therefore, "Pyramid" and "LMAD" would be expected to follow
that plan.
