Transcript
00:00From Hollywood, it's everybody's game of strategy, knowledge, and fun, it's Tic-Tac-Toe!
00:07And now, here's our host, Queen Martindale!
00:12Thank you. Thank you very much.
00:20Hot dog! We got a good game. We're just ready to meet a new player to take on our current champion, who's in the Navy.
00:26Let's meet him right now. Bob, if you will, please.
00:28Our current champion, whose winnings in cash and prizes total $6,300, is a naval lieutenant who recently got married.
00:36Meet Tom McKee!
00:39And his opponent is a bank loan officer who's also worked as a restaurant manager and a librarian.
00:44Meet Dia Jones!
00:52Dia, make yourself at home.
00:54Yes, I am.
00:55Is it kind of difficult for you to walk out here and, yeah, feel right at home?
01:00Dia is an unusual name. Tell me about that.
01:02Well, it's a nickname. It stands for Diana, Clara, Helena, Maria, Roxanna, Loretta, Pope, Jones.
01:08My God, it must cost her a fortune to monogram her towels, wouldn't you say?
01:13How'd you get such a long name?
01:15Well, you see, I'm an only child, and I had a lot of relatives that my parents wanted to keep happy.
01:20I started out with Diana as the goddess of the hunt, Clara as my old aunt in England, Helena as my mother, Roxanna as her friend, and I...
01:27Pardon me, Dia, but do you mind if we continue?
01:29Well, let's. Let's do it.
01:30Because this is a 30-minute show, and we might just run out of time. Nice to have you here.
01:33Thank you.
01:34All right. Hello, Tom.
01:35Hi, Wink.
01:36Tom has won $6,000... No! Yeah, that's right. $6,300.
01:39I was starting to say $3,600, Tom, but I'd be shortchanging you.
01:42$6,300 in cash and merchandise. How'd you meet your lovely wife? She is just gorgeous.
01:47She looks like she's about 14, but actually she's 15, right? No.
01:50Yeah, she still gets carded for coke out there, so...
01:52No, really, you know something? When she gets to be 21 or 22, she's going to look like she's about 15 or 16.
01:58She has that youthful look. How'd you meet her?
02:00I met her at a party, Wink. She was with someone else.
02:02Oh? May I... Dare I ask what happened to the other poor fella?
02:06He's gone.
02:07I'll bet.
02:08Well, Tom, welcome back, and congratulations from the last show, and good luck against this lady in a new game. Here we go.
02:13Thank you.
02:18The wife's name is Ginny, by the way.
02:20Let's take a look at the board and see what subjects we're going to deal with in this game.
02:24The subjects are nicknames, the 40s, animals, famous blondes, women, writers, maps of nations, colors,
02:30situation comedies or sitcoms, and solar system.
02:33All right, Tom, as we begin, which category would you like to start with?
02:36Uh, I think I'm going to try the solar system, Wink, down in the lower right.
02:40All right, here's the question, Tom.
02:42Astronomers determined the time zones for the entire world by using this famous English borough as the prime meridian.
02:49Name this English borough.
02:50Greenwich.
02:51Right, Greenwich Mean Time. Put it next to it.
02:53Let's move the categories into different positions on the board, throw a couple hundred dollars in the pot, and move over to Dia Jones.
02:59Well, I'll have to stick up for the women and go with women writers.
03:02We're at $300 to the pot, Dia.
03:03In a best-selling autobiography of 1979, this actress told of her much-publicized marriage to a famous actor.
03:10The title of the autobiography contains her name and the appropriate two words, by myself.
03:16First, I want you to name the actress and then name her famous husband.
03:19Think on that for a few seconds.
03:21♪♪
03:30Dia, the name of her autobiography contains her name and the appropriate two words, by myself.
03:34Name the actress.
03:35Lauren Bacall.
03:36Right, name her famous husband.
03:38Humphrey Bogart.
03:39Yes, that's right. For an O in the center box and $300 in the pot.
03:42Let's shuffle now and move it back to Tom on his side of the ledger.
03:46Tom?
03:47Oh, uh, Wink, I think I'll try, uh, animals in the lower left.
03:53All right, first time in the category of animals.
03:55This unique family of jungle animals includes such species as the marmoset, the mandrill, and the rhesus.
04:02Name it.
04:03Apes.
04:04Is that acceptable?
04:05No, Wink, it is not.
04:06Oh, I'm sorry, unique family of jungle animals.
04:09The answer here is monkey.
04:10Monkeys.
04:11Monkeys, not apes.
04:12So, let's move the categories around, $500 in the pot.
04:14Dia, we'll move back to you for your next selection.
04:17Um, gee, I like the solar system. I'm going to go in the upper corner.
04:22All right, solar system.
04:23Astronomers often define a distance of approximately six trillion miles as one distance,
04:28the distance that something travels in one year.
04:31Name it.
04:32Speed of light?
04:33Yes, a light year. That's correct.
04:36So, an O goes there, another $200 in the pot. Let's move the categories.
04:39$700 in the pot, Tom.
04:42Uh, I have to go with sitcoms in the lower left of the block.
04:46Sitcoms, situation comedies for a diagonal block of Dia.
04:49Tom, in this popular sitcom,
04:51Bea Arthur starred as the liberal outspoken wife of appliance store owner Walter Finley.
04:57For a block, name this sitcom.
04:59Maud.
05:00Yes, correct, for a block.
05:02So, we put an X there and continue as we move the categories around and add another $200 to the pot.
05:07Dia.
05:08I'm going to block with those animals.
05:10Animals for a block.
05:11Dia, one type of wildfowl includes the mandarin, the mallard, and the eider.
05:17Name this family of game birds and you'll block Tom.
05:20I collect them. They're ducks.
05:21Right. Couldn't very well miss that one, could you?
05:24Good for a block.
05:25So, we put an O there, $1,100 in the pot at this critical moment.
05:28May we take a break? Yes, we may.
05:30We'll be right back.
05:38Jim, it says here that personal debt and credit card borrowing have reached a 10-year high.
05:43With rates at 17 to 18 percent, those payments could be enormous.
05:46That's right, Joni.

07:46Seven figures.
07:47Oh, my God.
07:49And to show you our appreciation, Lillian, we're going to send you to Switzerland.
07:52Hey, Lillian, how do you feel?
07:54I'm so excited. This interactive thing really works.
07:58On Wednesday, March 20th, we made Lillian Yeager feel like a million bucks.
08:03Thank you, Game Show Network.
08:05I'm just doing my job.
08:08For those champions on tic-tac-toe who are lucky enough to defeat five opponents, we have some special transportation for those folks.
08:15Tom, four more wins over your opponents, and you'll win one of these. Here it is.
08:19It's a brand-new car!
08:22New Century 2-Door Coupe, the midsize personal luxury car with a spacious, comfortable interior and classic exterior.
08:28The Century 2-Door Coupe by Buick.
08:31In addition, great reflections gives your car the 2020 shine.
08:35A shine so deep down clear, it's a perfect vision, great reflections from DuPont.
08:39Now, back to you, Wink.
08:41Four boxes left on the board. $1,100 in the pot.
08:44Tom, Dia, take a look as we shuffle them around.
08:48Tom?
08:49I'll have to go with solar system in the top center, Wink.
08:51Yeah, to block Dia, answer this on the solar system, Tom.
08:54This famous comet has appeared at fairly regular intervals since it was first sighted over 2,200 years ago.
09:01Its next appearance is predicted in 1986.
09:04To block Dia, name the comet.
09:06Halley's Comet.
09:07You got it. That's right.
09:08To block her, put an X there.
09:10Another $200 in the DuPont.
09:12Players, we have three boxes left now.
09:14The categories that come up will decide the outcome of this game between the two of you.
09:18Let's shuffle.
09:21Dia?
09:22Let's try with Maps of Nations.
09:24Maps of Nations is the category she selects.
09:27Dia, take a look at this map of Northern Europe.
09:31This country is famous for Elsinore Castle and Hans Christian Andersen.
09:36Name it.
09:37Denmark.
09:38Yes, that's right.
09:39Another O goes on the board for Dia.
09:41O goes in that box.
09:43$1,500 in the pot.
09:44Players, we're down to two boxes.
09:46The categories in them will determine the fate of this game.
09:49Take a look.
09:52Famous blondes and solar system.
09:54Tom, select these.
09:55Gotta go with solar system again, Wink.
09:56Solar system again in the category.
09:58Good for you last time, Tom.
09:59For a block of Dia, answer this correctly.
10:02This planet is the farthest from the sun and takes 248 years to revolve around the sun.
10:10For a block, name it.
10:12Pluto.
10:13Yes, that's right.
10:15Put an X in that box.
10:17Add $200 to the pot.
10:19Playing now for $1,700.
10:22Dia, how many boxes left?
10:24Oh, there's only one.
10:25Very good.
10:26One box left.
10:27The category that appears there will decide if we have a tie.
10:32Let's shuffle.
10:34Wouldn't you know it?
10:35Almost has to be, doesn't it?
10:37It comes down to solar system.
10:39Dia, if you answer this question correctly, we will have a tie between you and Tom,
10:43and then we'll start a brand new game.
10:45Here's the question.
10:46In astronomy, does the term pulsar refer to a planet, an asteroid, or a star for a tie game?
10:56A star.
10:57Yes, we have a tie game.
11:01P-U-L-S-A-R, star, pulsar.
11:05We put an O there.
11:06Add a final $200 to that pot, but that pot is going to be anything but final.
11:10It just means we're going to start a new game with $1,900 in the pot.
11:14We're going to show you nine new categories,
11:16and that pot will continue to grow with every correct answer.
11:19Here are the new subjects.
11:22Finish the list.
11:23Biographies, television cops, famous doctors, mixed words, United States history, funny men, fairy tales, and botany.
11:31Tom, I know who you have in the audience pulling for you.
11:33That's Jenny, your wife, lovely wife.
11:35Dia, do you have anybody here?
11:36You're standing over there, you look so lonely.
11:38Oh, I'm not.
11:39I have two of my best friends here.
11:41And they are?
11:42Joseph and Nick, and my son, Bruce.
11:45Hello, Bruce.
11:46Hey, he's the one in the red shirt.
11:47We can't miss him.
11:48He sure is.
11:49So you have three people out there rooting you on to victory.
11:51All the way from San Diego.
11:52All right.
11:53Let's find out if she is indeed going to be victorious
11:55as we get another game underway between Tom and Dia.
11:58There are the subjects, Tom.
11:59And as our champion, you select first.
12:01I'd like to go with mixed words in the middle, please, Wayne.
12:03All righty.
12:04In the middle, we're $300 to the pot.
12:05The subject, mixed words.
12:06Tom, take a look at these mixed up words, please.
12:12I want you to unscramble the letters to reveal the names of two common flowers.
12:18Think about that.
12:28Tom, for that center box, unscramble the letters to reveal the names of two common flowers.
12:34Daisy and tulip.
12:35Right?
12:36Yes, daisy and tulip.
12:37Daisy on top, tulip up at the bottom.
12:39That's good for the center box.
12:41Put an X there.
12:42$300 added to the pot takes it up to $2,200.
12:45Let's shuffle.
12:46Dia Jones, your turn to select.
12:48Where would you like your first O to go on that board?
12:51Well, for my son, I think I'll try fairy tales.
12:54Fairy tales?
12:55All right.
12:56Sonny, this one's for you.
12:57What's his name again?
12:58Bruce.
12:59Bruce, this one's for you.
13:00In this fairy tale, Pinocchio is a wooden puppet that comes to life.
13:04Name the kindly old man who made Pinocchio.
13:08Geppetto.
13:09Right.
13:10You got it for him.
13:12So he put an O there.
13:13Let's move the categories around.
13:15$2,400 in the pot.
13:17Tom.
13:18Wink.
13:19I think I'll go with mixed words in the middle right.
13:22Okay.
13:23Did well the first time.
13:24Try this one.
13:25Take a look at this mixed up word, Tom.
13:27Unscramble the letters to reveal the name of something that is the spice of life.
13:32Variety.
13:33You got it.
13:34V-A-R-I-E-G-Y.
13:36Let's put an X there and shuffle again.
13:38$2,600.
13:40We're playing for Dia.
13:42My big choice is funny men.
13:44Yeah, big choice is right.
13:45Dia, to block Tom.
13:47Many of Mack Sennett's silent comedies featured a group of nutty policemen
13:51whose pursuit of wrongdoers usually led them on a crazy wild goose chase.
13:55To block Tom, name these comic cops.
13:57The Keystone Cops.
13:58Yes, that's right.
14:00Mack Sennett's Keystone Cops.
14:02Put an O there.
14:03Let's shuffle again.
14:04$2,800.
14:05We're playing for Tom.
14:06Pot getting bigger.
14:08Wink.
14:09I think I'll go with mixed words again in the top middle.
14:12Third time in the category on mixed words for Tom.
14:14Take a look at this mixed up word, Tom.
14:16Now, unscramble these letters to reveal a member of the American military.
14:21That would be a Marine.
14:23Yeah.
14:24You don't want to miss that one.
14:26It would be almost as bad as missing Navy if it came up there.
14:29So we put an X there.
14:30Four boxes left on the board.
14:31Exactly.
14:32$3,000 in the pot.
14:33Let's shuffle.
14:34Dia, take a look.
14:36Select.
14:38Bids?
14:39Pardon?
14:40Oh, bios.
14:41Bios.
14:42Yeah, bios.
14:43Bottom center, biographies.
14:44Dia, following the Watergate cover-up, this former member of Richard Nixon's legal staff
14:49wrote a popular biography entitled Blind Ambition.
14:53To block Tom in the center, name him.
14:55Haldeman?
14:56No, John Dean.
14:57John Dean.
14:58Blind Ambition, remember?
15:00I think Haldeman wrote one, too, though, didn't he?
15:02All right, we still have four boxes left on the board.
15:05Still $3,000 in the pot.
15:07Tom, your selection as we shuffle.
15:10Wink, I'd like to go with Famous Doctors for the win, please.
15:13If you do answer the question correctly in the category Famous Doctors, Tom,
15:17you will win $3,200.
15:19That would take your grand total to $9,500.
15:24Tom, here's the question.
15:27This ancient Greek physician is recognized as the father of modern medicine,
15:32and the medical profession's famous oath is named after him.
15:37For a total of $9,500, what is his name?
15:41Hippocrates.
15:42Yes, you win!
15:53Congratulations, Tom.
15:55Hippocrates, the answer, and, of course, the Hippocratic oath is named for him.
15:59Tom, $9,500 in cash now belonging to you.
16:04Well, cash, that includes those good prizes and that trip to Tahiti, I believe it was,
16:08you won on the last show.
16:09Who knows what is in the offering for you if you defeat the dragon in just a moment?
16:12We'll find out shortly.
16:14And, Dia Jones, you won $250 for that tie game,
16:17and it was a pleasure meeting your son and the rest of your group out there in the audience.
16:21I'm sorry you couldn't be around a little longer, but that's the name of the game, tic-tac-toe.
16:24Well, thank you, Wink.
16:25And besides, he's from San Diego, too.
16:27Can't be all bad, can he?
16:28No.
16:29No, Dia, thank you.
16:30Goodbye.
16:31Thank you.
16:32All right, we're going to take a commercial break,
16:34and then we'll take our stab at the dragon.
16:35Be right back.

19:42You were excited then.
19:43You've got to be extremely excited now, right?
19:45All right.
19:46All right, let's try to beat the dragon.
19:47Come on over and join me.
19:48Will you please?
19:49Yeah, like you said, you don't have to faint excitement.
19:54That's for sure.
19:55All right, behind the numbers are various amounts of money on the dragon.
19:58All you have to do is reach $1,000 or more to win a very nice prize package.
20:02Last time you were here, it was a trip to Tahiti, among other things.
20:05For this next bonus round, though, Tom, we have gifts for what we term contemporary living.
20:11And here's Bob Hilton to tell you about them.
20:12Listen.
20:13Your first gift for a contemporary living, Tom, is this modern microwave oven.
20:18It's from Gibson.
20:20A microwave oven with digital timer, defrost setting, solid state variable power control,
20:25and Gibson's TempoSensor cooking probe.
20:27Gives you dependable, cooked, clean, fast-paced cooking.
20:30And contemporary technology will protect your car, Tom.
20:33It's this electronic car security system.
20:36Page alert, silent car alarm, and paging system.
20:39This 24-watt transmitter sends a radio signal up to five miles to your dual-address beeper,
20:44warning of a theft in progress.
20:45Page alert at car stereo and electronic stores.
20:48And for the ultimate in contemporary furnishings, it's this attractive waterbed with built-in stereo.
20:55An America the Elegant waterbed in a luxuriously padded leather look with stereo headboard,
21:00including radio and cassette recorder.
21:02From America the Elegant.
21:03And finally, Tom, your next gift uses contemporary technology to help run your home.
21:08It's worth over $1,100.
21:11It's your own home computer.
21:14Commodore business and personal computer designed for all levels of business and home management.
21:19Portable, easy to set up and operate for all your needs.
21:21Furnished by Commodore.
21:23This contemporary living package is worth, in cash and prizes, over $3,450.
21:33Somebody yelled at Tom, every home should have at least one home computer.
21:37He said, yeah, now I'll be able to balance my checkbook for the first time in history.
21:40Avoid the dragon or you lose everything.
21:42Get the tick and the tack and you automatically get to keep the dough.
21:44Now let's cover them up.
21:45Move them all around.
21:46And the numbers are one to nine.
21:47And Ginny is out there to help you make the selection.
21:49Would you like to go first or shall she?
21:51No, she did it the last time.
21:52I'll go with her again.
21:53All right, Ginny, what's it going to be, my dear?
21:55She wants number one.
21:56Number one.
21:57All right, what's behind number one?
21:58Is it money or is it tick or tack for $150?
22:01Good beginning.
22:02Let's get back to her now.
22:03Ginny, what do you think?
22:04She'll take it in order.
22:06Number two.
22:07Next to one.
22:08Number two to add to $150.
22:09Money.
22:10Yeah, $300.
22:11$450.
22:12You need $550 more.
22:13Back to Ginny.
22:14She wants number five.
22:15Number five.
22:16All right.
22:17She's going to bypass three and four, go to five in the center and add to $450.
22:20Tack.
22:21Add it to tick.
22:22You get a little more money.
22:24$550.
22:25You got it.
22:26Back up to the top for number four.
22:27Back to the top again.
22:28All right.
22:29One, two, five.
22:30Now back to three.
22:31Let's see what it is.
22:32Is it a tick?
22:33$400.
22:34Getting close.
22:35Ginny, you got $850.
22:36You need $150 more or tick.
22:37What's it going to be, Ginny?
22:38She wants number six.
22:39She wants number six.
22:40It's hard to think about numbers looking at her.
22:41Number six.
22:42Needs $150 or tick.
22:43Oh, you need $50 more.
22:44So close and yet so far.
22:45Four, seven, eight, nine.
22:46One of them's got the dragon behind it.
22:47Don't pick that one.
22:48She wants to go with number nine.
22:49Number nine.
22:50Ginny, you sure about that?
22:51Number nine.
22:52You need $50 or tick.
22:53Do we have it behind number nine?
22:54Oh, no.
22:55The one number.
22:56Number nine.
22:57Number nine.
22:58Number nine.
22:59Number nine.
23:00Number nine.
23:01Number nine.
23:02Number nine.
23:04Oh, the one number we didn't want to get.
23:06Oh, God.
23:07There goes that chance to reconcile the bank statement.
23:10Oh, jeez.
23:11With her writing, I tell you, it's tough.
23:12But early in the show, perhaps you can come back and try again if you win the next game.
23:15I'll be glad to.
23:16Let's look at the other two numbers because you still have that trip to Tahiti.
23:19Everything is not lost in our bonus game.
23:21See, there was tick right down.
23:23Number eight would have given it to you.
23:25But you still have considerable winnings, a grand total of $9,500 in cash and merchandise.
23:30Don't turn that down.
23:31Let's play a new game.
23:32Let's get over there, Tom, and away we go.
23:34All right, Bob, let's get off and running with another player.
23:36Who do we have?
23:37He hopes to become a professional writer, and his interests include basketball and going to the movies.
23:42Meet Keith Silver.
23:50Hello, Keith.
23:51Hi, how are you?
23:52Tell me about your writing.
23:53I write comedy mostly, Wink.
23:55I would ask you to be funny, but that's putting you on the spot.
23:58Comedy.
23:59How's it going so far?
24:00They're laughing, but they're not buying.
24:03Does that mean, Keith, that it's hard to find work?
24:06As a writer, it is.
24:07What are you doing in the meantime?
24:09I work as an accountant for a girly magazine.
24:13Nice place to keep track of figures, wouldn't you say, guys?
24:17Accountant, figures, you'll...
24:19When you're driving home later, they will come to you and you'll just die laughing.
24:23Right, Keith?
24:24I hope so.
24:25Bad line, I know.
24:26It's good for the business.
24:27All right, let's play our game.
24:28Here we go.
24:29Tom, take a look at the board.
24:30The subjects for the game are astrology, women in film, names the same, famous sites,
24:34clothes styles, basketball, Wild West, foreign authors,
24:38and there's that all-important secret category.
24:40That can be any category at all, and of course,
24:42any time you answer a question correctly in the secret category,
24:45it automatically doubles the pot.
24:46Tom?
24:47Wink, I'd like to go with clothes styles in the center, please.
24:49In the middle, clothes styles.
24:50We're at 300.
24:51I'll describe two fashionable types of sweaters and you name them.
24:54One, this soft, silky sweater is made from goat's wool
24:57and bears the name of a region in India.
24:59Two, this sweater, which buttons down in the front,
25:02bears the name of the English Earl who led the charge of the Light Brigade.
25:06Think of those, Tom.
25:17Tom, two fashionable types of sweaters.
25:19Name this one, the soft, silky sweater made from goat's wool
25:22and bearing the name of a region in India.
25:25Wink, all I can think of is Madras and that's not it.
25:27No, Kashmir, Kashmir.
25:29And the other one was cardigan, named for the Earl of Cardigan.
25:32Let's move the categories around and see what happens
25:34as Keith makes his first selection.
25:38I think I'll take basketball in the lower right.
25:40Basketball.
25:41Question, Keith, at UCLA, this famous center was known as Lu Alcindor.
25:45He later went on to play professional basketball
25:47for the Milwaukee Bucks and the Los Angeles Lakers
25:49under a different name.
25:50What is this name?
25:51Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
25:53Yes, the great basketball player.
25:54Put an O there, 205.
25:56We'll take a break and then come back after.
26:00Jim, it says here that personal debt and credit card borrowing
26:03have reached a 10-year high.
26:05With rates at 17 to 18 percent, those payments could be enormous.
26:08That's right, Joni.
26:09But if you're a homeowner, the combo loan from the money store can help.
26:12With a combo loan, you can refinance your mortgage
26:15and pay off your high-rate credit cards and other loans.
26:18And the interest can be tax-deductible.
26:20So even if your credit is less than perfect,
26:22the combo loan can help you manage your family's finances better.
26:25The combo loan, available at the money store.
