01:15has won $49,300 in cash and merchandise thus far.
01:20Teacher, as Jay said,
01:22and freelance photographer and author.
01:25You say author, does that mean
01:26that you have actually written a book
01:27or a magazine article?
01:29Or what does that mean?
01:29Well, I've written magazine articles.
01:31I haven't not written a book.
01:33Yeah, but you're gonna work on one of those?
01:34I'm working on one.
01:35Well, with all this money you're accumulating here,
01:37you're gonna have a lot of time on your hands.
01:38Just quit everything else you do
01:39and just concentrate on a good book for us.
01:41Hey, good luck on today's show.
01:43Susan Reiner, an instructional aide
01:44at an elementary school.
01:45What does that mean, Susan?
01:46Well, I generally help the teacher
01:48in whatever he or she needs me to do.
01:49Are you a teacher yourself?
01:50No, I am not.
01:52What part of Los Angeles do you work in?
01:54Not Los Angeles.
01:55I'm from San Diego County,
01:57and I work in Poway.
01:58Poway.
02:00Home of Randy Jones.
02:02The famous pitcher for the Poway Padres?
02:05Right.
02:06That's the San Diego Padres.
02:08Hey, Susan, welcome back.
02:09On the last show, you had tied twice,
02:12and you were about to start your third game.
02:14Remember that?
02:16Okay, here are the categories.
02:17We're gonna be dealing with the subjects
02:19of physics, clothes styles, football,
02:21Latin America, famous firsts, islands,
02:23foreign actors, Disney, and symbols.
02:26And of course, Mike is our champion.
02:28You select first.
02:29I'd like to try football in the upper right-hand corner.
02:31Football it is.
02:32Mike, the question.
02:34There are two professional football teams
02:35which play their home games in Florida.
02:37One of them is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
02:39I want you to name the other.
02:41The Miami Dolphins.
02:42That's correct.
02:43Put it on stand.
02:45Let's shuffle them all around.
02:47They add $200 to the pot.
02:49All right, Susan.
02:50How about Islands in the Center, Wink?
02:52Okay, Islands in the Center.
02:53This is worth $300, by the way.
02:54A little bit harder, and for that reason,
02:56I'll give you a little extra time.
02:57In addition to our 50 states,
02:59three island territories send delegates
03:01to presidential conventions.
03:03I want you to name two.
03:04Think about that.
03:05♪♪
03:15Susan, in addition to our 50 states,
03:17three island territories send delegates
03:18to presidential conventions.
03:20Name two, and we'll put an O in the center box.
03:23Puerto Rico.
03:24Right.
03:25And Guam.
03:26Right.
03:27And the third one would be the Virgin Islands.
03:29That's worth $300.
03:31Let's move the categories around.
03:33Put an O there.
03:33Our pot is now up to $3,900 and getting bigger, Mike.
03:37Well, I want to go to football again.
03:39Football once again.
03:40Second time in the category for you, Mike.
03:42Football players named Jim Taylor, Bart Starr,
03:44and John Brockington all played
03:46for the same NFL team.
03:47Name the team.
03:48The Green Bay Packers.
03:49Right.
03:50We're at Green Bay with those guys.
03:53Put an F there, shuffle them around.
03:55Well, we passed the four grand mark now,
03:56plus $4,100 in the pot, Sue.
03:59How about symbols to block?
04:01For a block.
04:01To block, Mike, answer this question on symbols.
04:03First, take a look at this symbol, Susan.
04:06This emblem represents a large
04:07and prestigious manufacturer of automobiles.
04:10To block, Mike, name this company.
04:12Mercedes-Benz.
04:13Right.
04:15Oh, I'd like to see that on my card.
04:17Put an O there.
04:18Let's move the categories around.
04:19And another $200 in the pot takes it to $4,300, Mike.
04:22Well, I'm going to need Latin America there to block.
04:25Yeah, you need to block her
04:26with a diagonal answer on Latin America.
04:29The Bahamas, Granada, and Jamaica
04:31share the same official language.
04:33To block, Susan, name it.
04:35English.
04:35Yes, that's right, for a block.
04:38Joey, put another X on the board.
04:39Four boxes remain.
04:40Let's shuffle and see what Susan has in the offing.
04:43There they are, Sue.
04:44Oh, football in the center to block.
04:47You say that with a great deal of enthusiasm.
04:50Oh, yeah.
04:51All right, Susan, football for a block.
04:53Although he stands only five feet 10 inches
04:56and weighs 204 pounds,
04:58Walter Payton is considered by many
05:00to be the finest running back in the National Football League.
05:03To block, Mike, name the team for which Payton plays.
05:07I have no idea, the Rams?
05:09No, the Chicago Bears, the Chicago Bears.
05:12So, we're gonna take a commercial break.
05:14She needs a little time to get her breath back.
05:17We'll be right back, sir.
05:18All right.
05:19All right.
05:19All right.
05:20All right.
05:21All right.
05:22All right.
05:23Well, Mike, you've already won
05:24a very special prize on this.
05:25You've won a lot of nice prizes,
05:26but one in particular for defeating five opponents.
05:29If you defeat three more,
05:31you're gonna win another one of these,
05:32and this is what it looks like.
05:34Jay, tell us.
05:34Another brand new car.
05:35All right.
05:36All right.
05:37All right.
05:38Buick's Dramatic Century Limited,
05:40the mid-sized personal luxury car
05:42with a spacious, comfortable interior
05:43and classic exterior.
05:45The Century Limited by Buick.
05:47♪♪
05:51That's a beauty, and I'll tell you something else.
05:54It's gonna be a beauty starting on our very next show.
05:57We're gonna have a very special event here on Tic Tac Dough.
06:00It'll be a tournament conducted
06:01amongst eight very special people
06:03that I've been talking a lot about.
06:04Each one of them is over 80 years of age.
06:07All of them are still active, curious, and vital
06:12to their careers.
06:13For example, meet Professor Reba Kelly.
06:15She taught history at a Southern university.
06:16Today, her avid interests are flowers,
06:18plants, and landscaping, and her age?
06:21She is 96 years old.
06:23As a matter of fact, they're all unusual,
06:27and remember, they're all over 80.
06:29We are gonna have a ball with them
06:30because they're unique and they are fascinating
06:33and funny, I can't tell you.
06:34They're gonna compete against each other
06:36in a Tic Tac Dough tournament,
06:37the winner of which will receive $50,000 cash
06:41plus another $50,000 cash for his or her favorite charity
06:45or a total of $100,000 in cash.
06:48Now, believe me, you gotta watch this tournament.
06:53It'll intrigue you, it'll entertain you,
06:54and everybody's gonna be talking about it,
06:56and it's with our very next show that that begins.
06:59So please don't miss our next edition of Tic Tac Dough.
07:03Let's get back to, Mike, you ready?
07:04Susan, huh?
07:05We have $4,500 in the pot, four boxes remaining.
07:09Let's shuffle for Mike and see what comes up.
07:11There they are, symbols, football, Disney,
07:13and Latin America.
07:14I think I'll try symbols.
07:16Why?
07:17I'd like to win.
07:18All right, Mike.
07:19Mike's gonna go for symbols, that's strange.
07:21$4,700 rests on a correct answer.
07:24If you answer this right,
07:25you'll have a grand total of $54,000,
07:29and obviously, Mike, you'll break the $50,000 mark
07:32with that grand total.
07:33First, Mike, take a look at this symbol.
07:36This is the official flag
07:38of one of the nations of the world.
07:40For a grand total of $54,000, name it.
07:45Name the country?
07:46Yes.
07:47Canada.
07:47Right, for Tic Tac Dough.
07:48Yes!
07:49Yes!
07:50Yes!
07:51Yes!
07:52Yes!
07:52Yes!
07:53Yes!
07:54Yes!
07:55Yes!
07:56Yes!
07:57Yes!
07:57Yes!
07:58Yes!
07:59Yes!
08:00Yes!
08:01Yes!
08:02Yes!
08:02Yes!
08:03Yes!
08:04Yes!
08:05Tell me, I won't say that.
08:06There's something about that,
08:07it has a nice ring, right?
08:08It's a beautiful word.
08:09What sounds better to you, Mike,
08:10for me to tell you, hey, Mike, congratulations,
08:12or to tell you that now, Mike, you have $54,000?
08:15Which one of those do you like?
08:16I like the numbers.
08:17Do you?
08:18I kind of thought you might.
08:19Congratulations again.
08:20Thanks again.
08:21And of course, you get a chance
08:22to play our big bonus game and try to beat the dragon.
08:24You've done it before,
08:25but he's beaten you a few times too.
08:28Susan, that was a fun series of games.
08:31Gee, you are a good Tic Tac Dough player.
08:33Do you play this at home quite often?
08:34Oh yeah.
08:36Was it harder than you thought when you were actually here?
08:39If you left out football for a category,
08:41it would be a cinch.
08:42In other words, what you'd like to do
08:43is pick your own subjects, right?
08:44I've been practicing on quarterback, so.
08:47Well, you go home and work on it some more.
08:49Yes, sir.
08:49Susan, we have $250 for each of those tie games.
08:51You played two, that means you leave us with $500 in cash.
08:54Our best wish is,
08:55thank you for being a marvelous contestant.
08:58Susan Winder, everybody.
08:59Thank you, Susan.
09:01Okay, Mike, get it over with.
09:02Here we are again.
09:04Mike says he's going to put him away
09:05and it's not going to take long.
09:07Let's see if he lives up to that,
09:08lives up to that billing.
09:10Behind the numbers, Mike,
09:11are various amounts of money and a dragon.
09:12All you have to do is reach $1,000 or more
09:14and you win the prize package.
09:16Now let me tell you what,
09:17we call this our extravagance package, if you will.
09:20We're going to give you extravagant gifts
09:22that you wouldn't normally go out and buy for yourself.
09:25So Jay, let me ask you,
09:27what extravagant gift would you like to win?
09:29I'm going to give you a $1,000 prize.
09:31What extravagant gifts do we have for this handsome devil?
09:34Well, first, Mike,
09:35you'll make an elegant entrance into your home
09:37as you walk through this Pease Everstraight door.
09:40Handcrafted glass, energy-saving steel construction,
09:43so good you don't need a storm door.
09:45And next, go on an extravagant treasure hunt
09:48with White's Metal Detector,
09:49featuring ground exclusion balance
09:51to help you locate coins, jewelry, and precious metals,
09:54while excluding mineralized soil from White's Electronics.
09:57And the sky won't be the limit with your new telescope,
10:01the Tosco Telescope on Sliding Tripod.
10:03Zooms from 20 to 40 power,
10:05affords wide 87 1⁄2-foot field of view,
10:08or scans horizons with 4-power finder scope
10:11from Tosco Sales, Incorporated.
10:13And finally, Mike, to complete this package,
10:15we're going to add the word efficiency
10:17to our extravagant package
10:18by giving you your very own personal computer,
10:21the Apple II.
10:23Just connect it to your TV set,
10:24and you're ready to program
10:25for recording personal family records,
10:28computer games, artwork, or music,
10:30and it even helps the kids with their math.
10:32It's the same computer that runs our Tic-Tac-Toe board,
10:35the Apple II home computer.
10:37And Mike, the exciting extravagant package
10:40is worth, in cash and prizes, almost $3,500.
10:45But that Apple computer does not have
10:48a dragon associated with it, I can promise you.
10:51Remember, avoid the monster or you lose everything.
10:53Get the Tic and the Tac,
10:53and it's an automatic win of the dough for you.
10:55Let's move them around, cover them up on the board.
10:57We're not going to know where anything's going to come up.
11:00You have been very, very unlucky at times
11:02at this game, Mike.
11:04That's all right.
11:05I'm going to be here some more, so I'll get it.
11:07He says that with such knowing power.
11:10Go.
11:11Hmm, let's see.
11:12Let's just start with number three out of here
11:13and see what happens.
11:14All right, number three, little tray,
11:15top right-hand corner of the board.
11:17Tick.
11:18You've started that way three different times.
11:20On all three of those times, you've lost.
11:22I hope you change your luck this time.
11:23Let's go to Arden, your lovely wife out here,
11:25and that lovely girl.
11:26She's not going to make it.
11:28I'm not going to listen to her this time.
11:30Are you going to leave it up to him this time?
11:31Because...
11:32What I'm going to do again, I'm going to do six again.
11:34You're going to do number six again?
11:35Yeah, I am.
11:35And you have lost with six two straight times, right?
11:38That's right.
11:39And lost some very nice prizes.
11:40You're going to stick with it.
11:41All right.
11:42Three's a charm.
11:43Let's find out.
11:43Behind number six, under tick, money, or perhaps tack?
11:46You got it!
11:47You got it!
11:48You got it!
11:49You got it!
11:50You got it!
11:51You got it!
11:51You got it!
11:52You got it!
11:53You got it!
11:54You got it!
11:55You got it!
11:56You got it!
11:56You got it!
11:57You got it!
11:58Where was the drag?
12:00It obviously was not behind the number
12:01that's been beating you every time.
12:03It was not behind the six.
12:04Tell me where it is.
12:05You'd be surprised if it wasn't behind number nine.
12:06Let's look behind number nine first.
12:07Then we'll look at the rest of the board
12:08and expose all the money.
12:09$150.
12:10Where are you, big bad guy?
12:12Hey, there he is.
12:14Behind number four.
12:16Way far away.
12:17Thank God he was way over there and you didn't find him.
12:19You got it with two calls, ticking the tack,
12:21and you won the money and those nice prizes.
12:23Things you wouldn't buy for yourself.
12:25And all of those goodies come out to a grand total now
12:28of $57,500 in cash and merchandise.
12:33Put it there, partner.
12:35I wish.
12:36Hey, we'll be right back.
12:37Please don't leave us.
12:39We need a brand new player for Mike to take on
12:44because I know he's ready
12:45to try to go over the $60,000 mark
12:47and he doesn't want to waste any time.
12:48Jay, who's next?
12:49This gentleman is about to start his first job
12:51as a high school English teacher, wink.
12:54And he's also worked as a cook and a big blue bear.
12:57Meet Fritz Gray.
12:59Go!
12:59Go, Fritz!
13:00Go, Fritz!
13:01Go, Fritz!
13:02Go, Fritz!
13:03Go, Fritz!
13:04Go, Fritz!
13:04Go, Fritz!
13:05Go, Fritz!
13:06Go, Fritz!
13:07Go, Fritz!
13:08Go, Fritz!
13:09Go, Fritz!
13:09Go, Fritz!
13:10Go, Fritz!
13:11Go, Fritz!
13:12I'm going to ask the obvious now.
13:13You worked as a big blue bear, tell me.
13:14That's right.
13:15What does that mean?
13:16Well, I dressed in a costume and I greeted all the people
13:19who came to the shopping mall.
13:20Go on, tell me some more.
13:21Well, the best thing I liked about the job
13:23is I could assume a different personality
13:27you'd pick the color blue?
13:29Well, if you had to run around for eight hours
13:31in a big blue bear costume, you'd be pretty blue, too.
13:34Well, you've got a point there.
13:35I'll sure go along with that, Fritz.
13:37Maybe that's why you wore blue today, huh?
13:39Of course.
13:40He still never wants to get too far away from the part.
13:43Fritz, welcome to Tic-Tac-Toe.
13:45Here are the subjects we're gonna be playing with.
13:47Our game will involve classical music,
13:50country music, women writers,
13:51the Odd One bios, about words,
13:53world capitals, television stars, and the 1960s.
13:56Mike, if you're ready, Fritz is ready for you to select.
14:00I'd like to try classical music in the upper left.
14:02All right, here's your question in classical music.
14:04This great American composer wrote the classical works
14:06American in Paris and Rhapsody in Blue.
14:09Name him.
14:10Gershwin.
14:11Yes, George Gershwin.
14:12Put an X there and I'll shift it all around on the board
14:16and move over to Fritz and see what he can do
14:17with our questions.
14:18Well, I have to take about words in the center.
14:21All right, about words is worth $300.
14:23Fritz, I'll read the question
14:24and I'll give you some extra time
14:25of your answer if you'd like.
14:27I'm gonna give you the names of two types of collectors.
14:29You tell me what they collect.
14:31One, numismatist.
14:33Two, philatelist.
14:35Here's some extra time.
14:37♪♪
14:46Fritz, again, I'll give you the names
14:47of two types of collectors.
14:49You tell me what they collect.
14:50First, numismatist.
14:53Shrunken heads.
14:55You're right, no, no, no.
15:03Did you, are you serious?
15:05Well, I have no idea what it is
15:07and I figured pneumo and I knew a brain test
15:09is a pneumoencephagram, so.
15:12You lost me back on about that third one back there.
15:14No, numismatist, coins or metals.
15:17And philatelist, you wanna take a shot?
15:19I'm afraid to ask you.
15:20Stamps?
15:21Right, that's right.
15:24You got 50% of that, but unfortunately,
15:26that doesn't count in this show.
15:27Let's move the categories around.
15:28Fritz, I like you, you're a lot of fun.
15:30$200 in the pot, Mike?
15:33Oh, my goodness sakes.
15:37I would like to try women writers in the bottom left.
15:39All righty, women writers the subject.
15:41This woman teamed with her future husband,
15:43William Masters, to write a scholarly medical work
15:46that became one of the bestselling books of 1966.
15:49The name of the book was Human Sexual Response.
15:52Name her.
15:54Yes.
15:56Johnson.
15:57Is that acceptable?
15:58Masters and Johnson.
15:59Yes, it is.
16:00Right, Virginia Johnson.
16:00So, we put an X there, that's another $200 in the pot,
16:05and we do a quick shuffle.
16:07Fritz, I'm almost afraid to ask you to select,
16:09but go ahead.
16:10Oh, my favorite, classical music.
16:13All right, classical music, the subject.
16:15Are you serious?
16:16I'm serious.
16:17All right, this Russian-born conductor
16:18was the first man to conduct at Carnegie Hall
16:20and was the composer of such famous works
16:22as Swan Lake and Romeo and Juliet.
16:24Name him.
16:25Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
16:26Right, very good.
16:27Put it over there for a block.
16:29Let's move the categories around.
16:31$600 in the pot.
16:32Mike, back to you.
16:33Did we shuffle yet?
16:33No, we didn't shuffle.
16:34There we go, quick shuffle takes us back to Mike.
16:36Well, I think I would like to try classical music
16:39right down here.
16:40All right, classical music, once again, popular category.
16:42A powerful work entitled The Tragic Overture
16:45was written by the same composer
16:46who wrote a famous lullaby for children.
16:49Name him.
16:50Brahms.
16:51Johannes Brahms.
16:52Put it up there, let's shift them around again.
16:54Another $200 in the pot.
16:56Fritz, you've got $800.
16:57Fritz?
16:58Well, the odd one to block.
16:59All right, for a block, the odd one is the category
17:02and this is worth $300.
17:04Fritz, listen carefully now.
17:06As you know, I'll read the question
17:07and we'll give you some extra time for your answer.
17:10For a diagonal block, in a rare action in 1971,
17:15this island nation was expelled from the United Nations
17:19and replaced by the People's Republic of China.
17:22First, Fritz, name the island
17:25and then two, name its famous leader in 1971.
17:29Here's some time for you to think.
17:31♪♪♪
17:40Fritz, to block Mike, diagonally, name the island.
17:45Taiwan?
17:46Yes, Formosa or Taiwan.
17:49Name its famous leader in 1971
17:51and we'll put an O in that center box.
17:53I hope it's Chiang Kai-shek.
17:54You're right, Chiang Kai-shek.
17:56Good for a block, good diagonal block.
17:59Put an O there.
18:00Let's move the categories around now.
18:02$1,100 in the pot and we're back to you, Mike.
18:05Oh boy, I don't know what to do about this.
18:10I think I'm gonna try about words to block.
18:13You're gonna go for a block on about words?
18:15Very interesting.
18:16Here's your question, Mike.
18:17The word for a collection of maps
18:19is derived from the name of powerful Greek God.
18:23For a block, name this word.
18:25The word about what?
18:26The word for a collection of maps
18:28is derived from the name of a powerful Greek God.
18:32Name this word.
18:34Cartography, that's all I know.
18:36No, Atlas.
18:37Oh, gee.
18:38Name for a collection of maps
18:40derived from the name of a powerful Greek God.
18:42Atlas.
18:43He held the world on his shoulders.
18:44Perhaps you'll remember that.
18:46Let's move the categories around.
18:48$1,100 in the pot.
18:49Four boxes remain.
18:50Fritz, select.
18:51Oh, you got it.
18:52Bravo, classical music to win.
18:54All right, classical music.
18:56Fritz, here's your question.
18:57Answer this, you'll become our new champion with $1,300.
19:02The great composers, Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms
19:05were all born in the same European country.
19:08For the championship and $1,300, name the country.
19:12Germany.
19:13Right for $10,000.
19:14Germany.
19:26So Fritz Gray becomes our new champion
19:28and you have $1,300 to show for it.
19:30Fritz, you couldn't be more pleased, right?
19:33Well, yes.
19:34If I didn't win, I couldn't get to work next month.
19:37Now you can get to work next month.
19:39That's right.
19:39Mike, interesting piece of strategy there.
19:41You stayed away from the obvious place to go
19:45for a possible win, but you went for a block.
19:47Why did you do that?
19:48Well, I went there because I wasn't real sure
19:49about TV roles and I thought that I should have known
19:52about words.
19:53I mean, that's my field.
19:54And I just drew a blank about Atlas.
19:56The collection of maps threw me.
19:57It was a book of maps I would have got,
20:00but not a collection.
20:01This makes this game so interesting,
20:03the fact that you did that instead of going for the win.
20:06And you, of course, could hardly be called a loser, Mike,
20:10because you are going to leave us with a lot of money,
20:12a new automobile, and a lot of nice prizes.
20:15$57,500 in cash and merchandise.
20:19Congratulations to you, Mike.
20:21Thanks.
20:22We'll be right back, right after these words.
20:25Please remember, everybody, on our next show,
20:27our over 80 tournament with a total prize
20:29of $100,000 cash.
20:31At the end of the tournament,
20:32we'll pick up where we're leaving off now.
20:34Fritz will play the bonus game.
20:35I'm Wink Martindale for Tic-Tac-Toe.
20:36Bye-bye.
