Over the decades, several versions of Pyramid have found success in syndication, but last year, the Alphabet Network revived the series The $100,000 Pyramid TV show in primetime. As a summer series the new Pyramid, hosted by Michael Strahan, did well enough in the ratings to score a second season renewal. Can they repeat, or even built upon its success? Will The $100,000 Pyramid TV show be cancelled or renewed for season three? Stay tuned.

What do you think? Do you like the The $100,000 Pyramid TV show? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a third season on ABC?
8/6/17 update: ABC has renewed The $100,000 Pyramid for a third season. Details here.
I love the show. I’d love to see it stay on the air for another season and Michael does an amazing job..
Happy that renewed for third season it great show many years to come michael awosome. Remake better than original show.
So glad to see this show on again! They need to get celebs who are good at it though. Michael needs to learn how to get more involved when a contestant wins the $50,000–stop cutting the moment short and going straight to commercial. Ask them how they got it when they look like they are not going to get the right answer but then do ( like when Apollo Anton Ono was in the winners circle.) But overall still lots of fun to watch!
Pyramid is a good show and should continue. Many shows that are on late are not watched by younger people because they have to get up for work the next day and have to go to bed at a decent time, especially when they have kids.
