Honestly, I'm surprised they didn't do that from the get-go.  TWC really doesn't have content that really benefits from HD (except long-form), so it makes sense to go with a LDA (similar to what CNBC HD, Fox News HD use).

Opens up some really neat possibilities for the STAR HD (use a left display line as opposed to a lower, and have a radar, etc).

Shockingly, there was a reason behind yesterday's House's event.

re: Spyware Protect 2009...

Run this:  C:\windows\system32\regsvr32 /u iehelper.dll
Then delete the iehelper.dll file (I believe it's in your C:\Windows).
Then run Spybot Search and Destroy to clear it out.

Who would host it? I hope it's not Donny Osmond. :club: Wait, that reminds me, they brought it back and it already failed, why bring it back again?
Don't get me wrong, but I liked Donny Osmond hosting Pyramid back in 2002-04. Maybe it was just because the Dick Clark era was before my time, though.
Donny Osmond wasn't the main problem with the revival.  Everything else was.  A drastic change in the main round (6 in 20 v 7 in 30 means solving the clues like 1.4 seconds quicker), and superbly and inconsistently strict judging (namely you had to say every word in the bonus category, nut just the key word/phrase).

Oh, and really stupid Winner's Circle categories like "THINGS TOM CRUISE'S COFFEE CUP WOULD SAY".

(The best pic that the article I read this story from has a non-won box of "THINGS AT A DISCOTHEQUE".)

Huh? That's stupid. Didn't ABC just revive that show within the past couple of years? :unsure:
Syndication, and it was last on the air five years ago.  The guy in charge now was the same guy who brought Who Wants to be a Millionaire to ABC in 1999.

Who knows.  $25K Pyramid is just the "leading candidate."

So...CBS had deceided to cancel the longest-running program on television, Guiding Light, after 50-some years on TV, and 72 years total (radio+tv).

In it's place, apparently the current front-runner is a game show...a revival of The $25,000 Pyramid.

NBC is looking into how the music works and wants us to continue the current list for another couple weeks while they think about what the plans are going to be.
Uhhhhh...it plays behind THE ONLY REASON THIS CHANNEL STILL EXISTS IN ITS CURRENT FORM.  Clearly NBC doesn't understand this.

(Like they understand anything, anyway.)

Happened at 2PM as well.  I did a double take, seeing ICHT start, then turn back a couple minutes later to see Dr. Forbes.
