00:11To date, this player has beaten 17 opponents.
00:17He is in the midst of playing against his 18th opponent.
00:20If he wins this game, it'll bring his total winnings to over $78,000.
00:26We'll find out how he makes out in a moment as...
00:30From Hollywood, it's everybody's game of strategy, knowledge, and fun.
00:35It's Tic-Tac-Dove!
00:37And now, here's our host, Wink Martindale!
00:42Thank you very much, Jay Stewart.
00:45Ta-da!
00:47Thank you very much. You're welcome, everybody.
00:56Nice group.
01:01Wink!
01:02I love it, but we'll never get any show underway that way.
01:05Hey, thank you very much. What a great audience.
01:07We judge our audience by the way the host is introduced with their applause at the top of the show.
01:12You get a scale of 1 to 10, about a 20 for that one.
01:15Here's our current champion.
01:17Our current champion, whose winnings total in cash and prizes $76,350.
01:24He's a college professor who enjoys competitive running.
01:28Meet Dr. Alan Lichtman.
01:30And his opponent is an assistant manager in a finance company who enjoys drag racing.
01:36Meet Roxanne Berfume.
01:39Roxanne, say hello to Dr. Alan Lichtman.
01:44Roxanne, an assistant manager in a finance company.
01:47Does that lead me to believe that you deal in high numbers?
01:51Sometimes, yes we do.
01:53Especially the interest rate.
01:55Yeah, that's right.
01:56Especially the interest rate.
01:58Roxanne, welcome.
01:59Here's a guy who's dealing in high numbers.
02:01And I want to lay a couple of statistics on you.
02:04Speaking of high numbers, Roxanne, out of a total of 91 questions, Dr. Lichtman has missed only 5.
02:1391 questions, he's missed only 5.
02:16And he's played 23 games of tic-tac-toe.
02:19His total winnings thus far, Alan, I don't know whether you know this or not.
02:22No.
02:23You have to your credit now, $76,350 in cash and merchandise.
02:32He has won 3 automobiles so far, and if he defeats this lady and 2 more opponents, he will win his 4th car.
02:40Don't ask me what he's going to do with them.
02:42I don't know, what will you do with 4 automobiles if you get to 4?
02:44I have no idea.
02:45That's something you worry about when the time comes.
02:47Really, I'm not thinking.
02:48Alan, good luck.
02:49Let's get going, shall we?
02:50Here we go.
02:55Last show, as you'll remember, time ran out right in the middle of the game.
02:58And this is the look of the board, the categories we were dealing with.
03:02Famous firsts, United States history, football, clothes styles, physics, travel, fairy tales, secret category,
03:09which can be any category, and a correct answer there doubles the pot.
03:12And television stars rounded out the board.
03:14As far as X's and O's, in terms of those, this is what the board looked like.
03:18Roxanne, keeping pace with Alan.
03:20Two X's, but also two O's.
03:23The pot, at this point, is worth $1,600.
03:27Let's shuffle the categories around, move it back to Alan.
03:30And Alan, you are in control.
03:32You would like to move where?
03:34I will try U.S. history.
03:36United States history it is, and this is your question, Alan.
03:39During the Reconstruction period, this scornful term was applied to northerners,
03:43who moved south to make quick money.
03:46The term suggested that these northerners stuffed all their possessions into a suitcase before coming south.
03:52Name the term.
03:53Carpetbagger.
03:54You got it.
03:55Carpetbagger.
03:56You got it.
03:57Carpetbagger.
03:58That's what they call them.
03:59Put an X in the U.S. history box.
04:01Four boxes remain.
04:02$1,800 in the pot.
04:03And let's shuffle for Roxanne.
04:05TV stars travel clothes, styles, and fairy tales.
04:09Roxanne.
04:10I'll take travel for the block.
04:12You need a vertical block.
04:13You'll have it with the answer to this on travel.
04:15This southern state lists among its many tourist attractions, Roxanne, the famous Hot Springs National Park and the Ozark National Forest.
04:24For a block, name the state.
04:26Tennessee.
04:27No, Arkansas.
04:28Arkansas.
04:29Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas and the Ozark National Forest in that same state.
04:34Still four boxes remaining.
04:36Still $1,800 in the pot.
04:38Let's shuffle again for Alan.
04:41Select.
04:42Far from my favorite, but I will go for the win with fairy tales.
04:46For a vertical win, fairy tales.
04:48This question stands between you and $1,800 more dollars.
04:53I beg your pardon.
04:54We'll add two to that.
04:55So the pot will be worth $2,000.
04:58And if you answer this correctly, you will have $78,350 in cash and prizes.
05:05Alan, fairy tales.
05:06In this fairy tale about the three bears, Goldilocks tastes the bear's porridge.
05:12Later, she falls asleep in one of their beds.
05:15For a total of $78,350, what other article of furniture does she try out?
05:24Chair?
05:25Yes, that's correct for Tic Tac Joe.
05:32She tastes the porridge.
05:34She falls asleep in one of the beds.
05:35And of course, she tried out the chairs along the way as well.
05:38Alan, simple fairy tale answer, but meant $2,000 to you.
05:42$78,350.
05:45Now yours in cash and prizes.
05:47And you're one opponent closer to your fourth car.
05:50Two opponents away.
05:51Roxanne, it just didn't work out for you, did it?
05:54Nope.
05:55But we do have a couple of nice prizes for you as a consolation.
05:58And thank you for being with us.
05:59Roxanne, bye-bye.
06:01We'll be back for our bonus game with Alan in just a moment.
06:06I'm out.
06:07I'm out.
06:08I'm out.
06:09I'm out.
06:10I'm out.
06:11Already, Alan.
06:12I want to remind you, though, you've won three of these already.
06:15Defeat two more opponents for a total of 20 opponents.
06:17You'll have number four.
06:18Jay, tell him what it is.
06:19Jay, tell him what it is.
06:20For your driving pleasure, Alan, you will win your number four brand new car.
06:29Let's see what happens now as Alan takes on the dragon again.
06:32Come on over here, Alan.
06:36Let's do it one more time.
06:37One more time.
06:38One more time.
06:40Behind the numbers, as you know, are various amounts of money.
06:42A tick, a tack, and the dragon.
06:43If you get to $1,000 or more, or get the tick and the tack, you'll win a nice prize package.
06:46As far as this package is concerned, you know you're only as young as you feel.
06:51And the gifts in this next package will help you look and feel your best.
06:53Believe me.
06:54Jay, tell him what we mean.
06:55First, Alan, a healthy workout will be no work at all.

08:34And, Alan, this young-as-you-feel package is worth, in cash and prizes, over $3,950.
08:41Alan, avoid the dragon and you lose everything.
08:43Get the ticket attack and you automatically get the dough.
08:45Let's cover him up, move him around, and move out to the audience.
08:48And once again, since this is the first time we've seen him on this show,
08:51for those who, well, are, for the uninitiated, who are those two folks out there?
08:55My wife, Sheila.
08:56Hello, Sheila.
08:57And my cousin, Marty, from Berkeley.
08:58And Marty from Berkeley has been doing pretty well evading the dragon.
09:02You want to stay with him?
09:03Are you going to do it, or is she?
09:04I'm going to go with Sheila.
09:05All right, Sheila, it's up to you this time, sweetheart.
09:06What's it going to be?
09:07Where do we start?
09:08Number seven.
09:09All right, what's behind number seven?
09:11Four.
09:12Alan and Sheila.
09:13$250.
09:14Good beginning.
09:15$750 more.
09:16Four.
09:17Number four, right above the $250.
09:19Maybe you can pick up a quick five.
09:20What do we say, huh?
09:21Behind four?
09:22$300.
09:23We'll take it.
09:24Now you need the five, yeah.
09:26Actually, we need $450.
09:28You want one?
09:29Yeah.
09:30All right, number one.
09:31Lined them up vertically.
09:32Good for $450.
09:33You got it.
09:40Oh, she's got it.
09:41Yeah.
09:42She's got it.
09:43Right on the ball.
09:44She has it.
09:45Congratulations, Sheila, to heck with him.
09:46Congratulate.
09:47Did a good job, wifey.
09:48Let's look at the rest of the board.
09:49Where was the dragon?
09:50Two, three, five, six, eight, or nine?
09:52Eight.
09:53Would have had it.
09:54Boo, boo, boo.
09:55Triple boo for the dragon.
09:56All right, you have gone over the $80,000 mark,
09:58and you are going to be going to Puerto Vallarta.
10:00You have a grand total now of $82,350 in cash and merchandise.
10:07Congratulations, sir.
10:10Now you can take that, or look what's behind door numbers.
10:13No, no, no.
10:14That's another show.
10:15Get over there, and let's get a new game underway.
10:17Who do we have for the next match, Jay?
10:19Where he recently became a fire factor,
10:21and his interests include sports and movies.
10:24Meet Dr. Michael Madden.
10:26Hi, Michael.
10:27Hello, Wink.
10:28You are a new chiropractor, right?
10:29Yes, I am.
10:30I have to be careful how to say that.
10:31I always wanted to say when I was younger, chiropractor.
10:32Chiropractor.
10:33How long have you been practicing?
10:34Oh, a couple months down here in San Diego.
10:35Tell me a little bit about how chiropractic works.
10:36Well, chiropractic is based on the fact that all nerves go through the spine, and if the
10:49spine is out of alignment, it can cause undue nerve pressure and ailments or problems with the
10:55associated parts of the body.
10:57How do you treat it?
10:58Well, chiropractors adjust and manipulate the spine and extremities to try to release
11:02that nerve pressure.
11:03Sounds like back-breaking work.
11:05Yes, it does.
11:07All right.
11:08No more of my cracks.
11:09I'm going to move right along.
11:10It's time to find out how you manipulate things in this next game.
11:14Let's see what we have to deal with as subjects.
11:17The subjects for this game are World War II, Women in Film, Islands, Finish the List, Classical
11:23Music, Rock Music, Who Am I, Maps of States, and Foreign Authors.
11:27Allen, if you will, sir, select.
11:29Well, it's not my all-time favorite, but I'll try Classical Music in the center.
11:33All right.
11:34Worth $300 to the pot, one of the most famous symphonies by this great German composer was
11:38a chorale entitled Ode to Joy.
11:40It was his final symphony, and it was written after he had gone completely deaf.
11:45First, name the composer, Allen, and then give me the number associated with this symphony.
11:50Think about that.
12:01All right, Allen.
12:02One of the most famous symphonies by this great German composer was a chorale entitled Ode
12:06to Joy.
12:07It was his final symphony, and it was written after he had gone completely deaf.
12:12Name the composer.
12:13Beethoven.
12:14Right.
12:15Ludwig von Beethoven.
12:16Give me the number associated with this symphony.
12:19Nine.
12:20Right.
12:21The Ninth Symphony by Beethoven.
12:23X in the box on Classical Music, $300 to pot.
12:26Let's shuffle them around.
12:28And it's Michael Madden's first turn to pick a subject.
12:31I'll go for Maps of States in the upper left-hand corner.
12:34All right, Maps of States.
12:35Let's take a look at this map of the United States, Michael.
12:38In the early 1800s, Zebulon Pike led the first American expedition into this state.
12:43Name it.
12:44Beautiful Colorado.
12:45Right.
12:46The state of Colorado.
12:47So, we put an O on the board for the first time.
12:50200 in the pot.
12:51Let's shuffle again with $500.
12:53As a beginning point money-wise, we move it back to Alan.
12:56I will take Who Am I?
12:58Who Am I?
12:59Alrighty.
13:00I am a 72-year-old American author.
13:03In my many years of writing, I've written Tales of the South Pacific and a separate volume called Hawaii.
13:11By the time I celebrate my centennial, I'll have lived a truly epic life.
13:16Who am I?
13:17Who Am I?
13:18Michener.
13:19Right.
13:20James A. Michener.
13:21Who Am I?
13:22Michener.
13:23Put an X there.
13:24Another $200 in the pot and we shuffle again.
13:25All right, Michael.
13:26It'll be your turn.
13:27Where would you like to move?
13:28I have to go to rock music to block.
13:30For a vertical block, rock music the subject.
13:32This famous British rock group created the rock opera Tommy.
13:35Roger Daltrey is the lead vocalist and Peter Townsend plays guitar.
13:39Name the group for a block.
13:40The Who.
13:41Right.
13:42Roger Daltrey, The Who.
13:43An O for a vertical block.
13:45Let's shuffle again.
13:46$900 in the pot.
13:48And we'll be back to our game of tic-tac-toe in just a moment.
13:52Nice playing.
13:53Nice playing.
13:54Nice playing.
13:58Between Alan and Michael, $900 in the pot.
14:01And we have already shuffled.
14:03So, Alan, it's your turn to select.
14:05I will shoot for foreign authors.
14:07Foreign authors it shall be.
14:08And here's your question, Alan.
14:10The 19th...
14:11Let me begin again.
14:12Two 19th century German brothers named Jacob and Wilhelm
14:16spent much of their time working on a definitive German dictionary.
14:20They are best remembered, however, for writing some of the world's most popular fairy tales.
14:25Name them.
14:26Grimm.
14:27Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm.
14:29The Grimm Tales.
14:30Put an X there.
14:32Four boxes remain.
14:33We're playing for $1,100 at this point.
14:35Moving the categories around, we move back to Michael.
14:38Have to go to maps of states to block.
14:40For a block, diagonally.
14:41This state was the birthplace of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
14:45And it is the largest of the New England states.
14:48Take a look at this map and name it for a block.
14:52It's Maine.
14:54Right.
14:55Maine.
14:56So that's good for a diagonal block on the board.
15:00We put an O there, another $200 in the pot, making it $1,300 with three boxes left on the board.
15:07Let's shuffle and see what comes up.
15:10Classical music, Women in Film, and Who Am I?
15:13Women in Film.
15:14Women in Film, it is.
15:15Alan, for your next category, Women in Film, this is your question.
15:19She played opposite Rock Hudson and James Dean in Giant, Montgomery Clift in Raintree County, and Rex Harrison and Richard Burton in Cleopatra.
15:28Name this screen legend.
15:30Taylor.
15:31Yes, Elizabeth Taylor.
15:34Taylor, the answer.
15:35Put an X in the box, Women in Film, Mr. Computer.
15:38$1,500 in the pot.
15:39We're down to two boxes.
15:41The categories that show up now will decide if we have a win or a tie in this game.
15:45Let's shuffle.
15:47Michael.
15:48With rock music.
15:50All right.
15:51That's one for a horizontal block of Alan Michael.
15:53Question on rock music is this.
15:55This British rock group has recorded several hits about women, including the songs Ruby Tuesday, Lady Jane, and Honky Tonk Women.
16:04For a tie game, name the band.
16:06The Rolling Stones.
16:07You got it, and we have a tie.
16:14With a tie and $1,700 in the pot, we will show you nine new categories.
16:20The pot will continue to grow from $1,700.
16:23For the second game, these are the subjects.
16:25Take a look.
16:27Situation, comedies, sitcoms, Men of Ideas, Places and Songs, The Forties, Big and Little, Wild West, Faces, Astronomy, and Toms and Thames.
16:35Alan.
16:36I'll head for the center with Big and Little.
16:38For $300.
16:39Alan, I'll describe two songs with the word big in their title, and you complete the title.
16:44The Four Seasons hit, which tells us that big girls don't what?
16:48And then the Jimmy Dean song about a giant of a man who gives his life to save some trapped coal miners.
16:54He's known as Big, Bad, Whatever.
16:57Think about those for a second.
16:58I don't think he needs the time, really.
17:07Alan, what's the Four Seasons hit telling us that big girls don't cry?
17:11That's right.
17:12The Jimmy Dean song about a giant of a man.
17:14Big, Bad John.
17:15Yeah, that's right.
17:16Big, Bad John.
17:17Look at that.
17:18Jimmy Dean.
17:19Big record.
17:20Put an X in the center.
17:21$2,000.
17:22The worth of the pot now as we continue the match between Alan and Michael by Shuffling.
17:26Mike, you kept it good and close.
17:29All tied up so far.
17:30Haven't missed a question yet, have you?
17:32No.
17:33No, not yet.
17:34Faces in the lower right-hand corner.
17:35Faces as he tries to keep that record intact.
17:37Take a look at this picture, Michael.
17:39These are just two of the many roles this late great British actor and comedian portrayed during his career.
17:44Name him.
17:45Peter Sellers.
17:46That's right.
17:47The great Peter Sellers.
17:48What a giant of an actor.
17:49Put an O there.
17:50Let's shuffle.
17:51$2,200.
17:52Resting on this game as it stands, Alan.
17:55I will take the 40s.
17:57The 1940s.
17:58In that category for the first time in a series of trials from 1945 to 1946.
18:04The leaders of the Nazi government were tried on various charges of war crimes.
18:08The trials were named for the German city in which they were held.
18:12Name it.
18:13Nuremberg.
18:14Right.
18:15Nuremberg in Germany.
18:16Put an X in the box on the 40s.
18:18Add another $200 to the pot and let's move the categories.
18:21Playing for $2,400, Michael.
18:23I have to go to sitcoms with a vertical block.
18:25In the series, I'm a big girl now, Diana Canova plays a newly divorced lady who lives
18:30with her interfering father.
18:32The actor who plays the father is a superstar and veteran of series like Make Room for Daddy.
18:37To block him, name him.
18:39Danny Thomas.
18:40Right.
18:41For a vertical block, Danny Thomas on sitcoms is the correct answer.
18:44Let's shuffle the categories and play for $2,600, Alan.
18:48I will try Men of Ideas.
18:51All right.
18:52Question.
18:53In the 1860s, this American industrialist revolutionized rail travel when he designed
19:00the first double-deck railway sleeping car with folding upper berths.
19:04The car bears his name.

19:11Put an X in Men of Ideas.
19:12Two boxes left on the board.
19:13Let us shuffle.
19:14Michael.
19:15I have to go to Men of Ideas.
19:17To block, once again, horizontally.
19:19Michael, for a block in 1831, Cyrus McCormick demonstrated the first commercially successful
19:25version of a farming machine that could cut and collect grain automatically.
19:30To block, Alan, name the machine.
19:32The Reaper.
19:33Right.
19:34The Reaper or the Harvester.
19:35Good for a block.
19:36So, we put an O there, another $200 in the pot.
19:40And with a $3,000 pot at this critical moment, we pause once again.
19:44We'll be back.
19:46Take a look at the board now as we wrap it up on this edition of Tic-Tac-Toe.
19:51We have three boxes remaining, of course.
19:53Three X's for Alan.
19:54Three O's for our challenger, Michael.
19:57Michael, by the way, if it's any consolation, you've already gotten $250 for playing this game
20:01here.
20:02So, but you have bigger stakes in mind, do you not?
20:04That's exactly right.
20:05I felt kind of like a sacrificial lamb when I first came in here, but I'm psyched now.
20:08Yeah, you feel pretty good.
20:09Yeah, I really do.
20:10Well, listen, you're doing okay against this guy over here, who's won it to this point,
20:14$82,350, and he feels like anything but.
20:19As a matter of fact, I feel like a sacrificial lamb giving him all of our money here.
20:23We'll see you next time, Alan.
20:24Michael, doing fine.
20:26We'll see you, everybody, if you'll join us for our next edition of Tic-Tac-Toe.
20:29Bye-bye.
