00:01Lieutenant Tom McKee is the current champion on Tic-Tac-Toe with $229,600 in winnings.
00:07Candy Kirby is his challenger. They're in the middle of their third game.
00:11At stake is $5,100. In a few moments, we'll find out who wins it as...
00:17From Hollywood! It's everybody's game of strategy, knowledge, and fun.
00:23It's Tic-Tac-Toe!
00:24And now, here's our host, Sweet Martindale!
00:30Thank you very much, Art. James Willow, everybody. Thank you.
00:35Thank you very much. Let's don't put this off any longer.
00:39When we had to stop proceedings here on the last show, it was very, very exciting.
00:43So let's meet that big winner right now and then the challenger. Art?
00:47Our current champion, whose winnings total in cash and prizes $229,600, is a pilot in the Navy.
00:53Meet Lieutenant Tom McKee!
00:56And his opponent, who teaches needle crafts and has designed her own line of needle craft kits, meet Candy Kirby!
01:07The lady who teaches needle crafts, designed her own line of needle craft kits.
01:11We found that out on the last show.
01:12I bet you've heard the song Candy so many times you've grown sick of the song, right?
01:15Which song?
01:16Candy, I call my...
01:18I love that song.
01:19Do you? That's what I said. You probably heard that so much you just love it.
01:22I love it.
01:23Hey, welcome back to our show.
01:24Thank you very much.
01:25Good luck against our big champion over here who has won, to this point, $229,600 in cash and merchandise.
01:31How many cars have you won?
01:32Six.
01:33Six cars, I see.
01:35Everybody should have six cars. I mean, you know, what the heck.
01:38Okay.
01:39You told me something about your lovely, charming bride.
01:41You've only been married just a short while.
01:44And you said, all of a sudden, something is happening.
01:47Well, it's...
01:48I don't want to exaggerate it to the point that it's not correct, but I've been getting these letters in the mail that says,
01:54Dear Mrs. McKee, the dress you have on layaway has a payment due on it.
01:58All of a sudden, her wardrobe is becoming very, very large.
02:01Yes.
02:02And I don't have any clothes to wear is what she says.
02:04But, you know, I guess that's typical.
02:06Well, she has to take up for you, see, because you get to wear the same dress every...
02:09I mean, the same suit every day.
02:11Hey, Tom, welcome back.
02:12Good luck as we continue.
02:13Good luck to you, Candy, as we get it underway.
02:15Last show, you tied twice, and you were in the middle of the third game when time ran out.
02:27Remember these categories?
02:28I think you will.
02:29Let's take a look.
02:30We're using the subjects comic strips, famous doctors, potluck pictures, foods, football, U.S. politics, popular music, classical music, and numbers.
02:39As far as the pot is concerned, it was worth $4,900.
02:45So take a look now as we, once again, show you what the board looked like when the time ran out.
02:51Two boxes remain.
02:53Now, players, the circle obviously is getting tighter and tighter.
02:57We're down to those two boxes, and the categories that show up will decide if we have a tie or a win.
03:05Let's shuffle the categories.
03:07Foods and comic strips.
03:11Wink, I'm going to go with comic strips in the lower center for the win.
03:14All right, Tom, if you answer this question correctly, you will have a vertical tic-tac-toe.
03:19You will win $5,100 in cash.
03:23That would make your grand total come to $234,700.
03:29Tom, here's the question on the subject of comic strips.
03:33Among the many colorful criminals who plague Detective Dick Tracy are Pruneface, Scarface, and the master spy whose forehead is a mess of creases and wrinkles.
03:45For tic-tac-toe and a total of $234,700.
03:51Name him.
03:52Prune face?
03:53No, it's the brow.
03:54Oh.
03:55The brow.
03:56B-R-O-W.
03:58Saved, Candy.
04:00By a wrinkled brow.
04:02An old prune.
04:03Yeah.
04:04In the pot, remaining $4,900, still two boxes remain as we shuffle.
04:12Classical music and potluck pictures.
04:14Candy, what's it going to be?
04:16Potluck pics.
04:17For a vertical block of Tom.
04:20And for our third tie between you two.
04:23Candy, answer this correctly and we got it.
04:25First, take a look at this picture.
04:28This is a scene from a popular television series.
04:31For your third tie, name the series.
04:35The Jeffersons.
04:37Yes!
04:38We have a third tie game.
04:47Well, third tie game and in the pot, $5,100.
04:51Now, we're going to show you nine new categories and the pot will continue to grow from $5,100 shortly.
04:57In a moment, the fourth game between Tom and Candy.
05:00We'll be back shortly.
05:13Mentioned at the top of the show, Tom, that you had won six of these already.
05:16Every time a player defeats five opponents, he wins one and this is what it is.
05:20Art James, tell him.
05:21Yes, Tom.
05:22For your driving pleasure, it's a brand new car.
05:25I think had I been a contestant on the show on that Dick Tracy question, I'd have said prune face too, because that's the thing that automatically came to my mind before I even got to the answer.
05:41There was a villain named prune face, I think.
05:43Yeah, right.
05:44One of the right ones.
05:45He was one of the subjects of that comic strip for a while too.
05:47Well, take a look up here.
05:48$5,100 in the pot and these are the new subjects for your fourth game as opponents.
05:54Wild West, Famous Lovers, Jacks and Johns, Foreign Words, Scary Things, The UN, TV Rolls, Astronomy and Dropouts.
06:02There they are all ready for your perusal, Tom, and your selection.
06:04What's it going to be?
06:05Let's try Scary Things in the center.
06:06He usually starts with a middle box, Tom.
06:09Here's this question on Scary Things worth $300 to the pot.
06:12I'll give you part of the titles of Two Terrifying Tales by Edgar Allan Poe and you complete the titles.
06:18One, The Fall of the House of what?
06:21And then The Pit and the what?
06:23Here's your extra time if you need it.
06:25Talking about Two Terrifying Tales by Edgar Allan Poe.
06:37Complete the titles, Tom.
06:38The Fall of the House of...
06:39Usher.
06:40Right.
06:41The Pit and the...
06:42Pendulum.
06:43Right!
06:44For the center box.
06:45Put an exhale.
06:46Another $300 added to the pot takes it to $5,400 as we move the categories around.
06:51Candy Kirby.
06:54Jackson Johns, upper left.
06:56All right.
06:57Jackson Johns it'll be.
06:58With what branch of government are John Jay and John Marshall associated?
07:03Candy?
07:04John Jay and John Marshall were senators, which would be the executives.
07:10Sorry.
07:11Judicial.
07:12Judicial.
07:13Supreme Court.
07:14Justices.
07:15All right.
07:16Still $5,400 in the pot.
07:17X in the center box remaining and we shuffle and go back to Tom.
07:23Wink.
07:24Let's try TV rolls on the top right.
07:26Top right.
07:27Television rolls the subject.
07:28On this series, Andy Kaufman plays the role of Latka Gravis, an immigrant mechanic who fractures
07:34the English language.
07:36Name the series.
07:37Taxi.
07:38Ah.
07:39Taxi.
07:40Let's shuffle the categories again.
07:41Still $5,400 we're playing for, Candy.
07:42Scary things up in the left.
07:43Okay.
07:44You can kind of even it up once again with the correct answer to this on scary things.
07:57One look at this mythological monster could turn a man to stone.
08:01Although she was beautiful, her hair was a horrible mess of snakes and toads.
08:05Name her.
08:06Medusa.
08:07Right.
08:08Put it over there.
08:09Let's shuffle.
08:10$200 more in the pot as we move the categories around and carry it back to the lieutenant
08:16again.
08:17Well, Wink, let's try Jackson Johns in the left center.
08:22Here's the question.
08:23Tom, this famous singer named Jackson has written and sung such popular songs as Dr. My Eyes
08:28and Running on Empty.
08:30Name him.
08:31Brown.
08:32Yes.
08:33Jackson Brown.
08:34Put it back there.
08:35Let's shuffle again.
08:36Another $200 in the pot, Candy.
08:38Dropouts to block.
08:39To block, Tom.
08:40Dropouts.
08:41Question.
08:42The movie director D.W. Griffith, who dropped out of school at age 16, became a motion picture
08:47innovator with this controversial 1915 historical film.
08:52For a block, complete its title.
08:55Birth of a?
08:56Nation.
08:57Right.
08:58Birth of a nation.
08:59Good for a block.
09:00Across the board.
09:01Put it over there.
09:02Let's shuffle again.
09:04You're now playing for $6,000.
09:06Tom?
09:07Oh, Wink.
09:08I think I will take astronomy in the top center.
09:10All right.
09:11Tom, here's the question.
09:13Until Copernicus presented his revolutionary theories in the 16th century, most people
09:19believe that the third planet from the sun was the center of the universe.
09:23Name this planet.
09:24The Earth.
09:25Yes.
09:26The Earth we live on.
09:27Correct.
09:28Put it back there.
09:29Another $200 added to the pot.
09:31Four boxes remaining as we continue with a shuffle.
09:37Candy.
09:38TV rolls, please.
09:39Television rolls as you try to block Tom.
09:41In the television series, The Love Boat, this comedy actor stars as Meryl Steubing,
09:46the captain of the Pacific Princess.
09:48For a block, name the actor.
09:50I hope it's Gavin McCloud.
09:51It is.
09:52Good for a block.
09:53Vertically.
09:54Put an O there.
09:55And another $200 in the pot.
09:58Players, we have three boxes left now.
10:00The categories in those boxes will determine the fate of this game.
10:03Let's shuffle.
10:06Jackson Johns, TV rolls and dropouts.
10:08Wink, uh, boy, this is a tough choice.
10:16Let's go with Jackson Johns in the top center.
10:18Top right, Jackson Johns.
10:20Tom, here's your question.
10:21Listen carefully.
10:22This American author wrote many plays and essays in addition to such novels as Call of the Wild and the semi-autobiographical Martin Eden.
10:31Name him.
10:32Jack London.
10:33Yes.
10:34Jack London.
10:35Good for an X.
10:36Hit it up there.
10:37Top right corner of the board.
10:39And another $200.
10:40Takes it to $6,600.
10:42You're down to two boxes.
10:44The categories in them will decide what happens to you in this game.
10:48Let's shuffle.
10:50Candy.
10:51Oh, Wild West to block.
10:53Wild West for a diagonal block.
10:56Candy, answer this.
10:57You'll block Tom.
10:58This legendary lawman, who was a marshal in Dodge City, later became deputy marshal of Tombstone when his brother Virgil appointed him to that position.
11:08For a block.
11:09Name him.
11:10Wyatt Earp.
11:11Yes.
11:12Right.
11:13Wyatt Earp.
11:14For a diagonal block.
11:15Put an O there.
11:17In the pot, we now have $6,800.
11:21And the moment of truth is here.
11:24There's one box left.
11:26The category in it will decide if we have a tie.
11:29Let's see what subject comes up as we shuffle.
11:34Dropouts.
11:35I think I'll take dropouts in the lower right.
11:37All right, Tom.
11:38Not much choice, is there?
11:40If you answer this correctly on dropouts, Tom, we will have a fourth tie between you and Candy.
11:46And here is the question.
11:48This famous American composer and bandmaster never graduated from grade school.
11:54And yet, he went on to write over 100 marches, including Semper Fidelis, The Washington Post, and Stars and Stripes Forever.
12:03For the fifth game between you two and the fourth tie, name him.
12:09John Philip Sousa.
12:11Right.
12:12We have a tie game.
12:18And we have another $200 in that ever-growing pot, and it's up to $7,000.
12:23We're going to show you shortly nine new categories, and we'll play another match between Tom and Candy.
12:29Back in just a moment.
12:39Last game, you missed the Dick Tracy question.
12:41That gave Candy new life.
12:42And Candy, on the last show, we ended with you missing a question.
12:45I think the answer was the fifth dimension.
12:47You missed that one.
12:48And yet, on this show, Tom missed one, and so it's all even again.
12:52And we got $7,000 we're playing for.
12:54Are either of you nervous?
12:55You look like you have your wits about you there.
12:57Calm, cool.
12:58I better have them, or else she's going to take me to lunch.
13:02Let's take a look at the categories.
13:03Here are the subjects with $7,000 at state as we begin.
13:06Oddities, Latin America, animal songs, news of the 80s, the movies, quotes, take a letter, botany, and young stars.
13:15Tom Champion goes first, and that's you.
13:17Let's try movies in the center.
13:19We're at $300 to the pot.
13:20Tom, I'll give you a little extra time.
13:21First, take a look at this picture, please.
13:23These two actors starred in a popular 1979 movie and were both nominated for an Oscar in 1980.
13:30First, name either actor, and then name the 1979 movie in which they starred.
13:36And I'll give you a few seconds to study that.
13:47They starred in a popular 1979 movie, both nominated for an Oscar in 1980.
13:51Name either actor.
13:52One of my favorites, Peter Sellers.
13:54Right.
13:55Name the 1979 movie in which they starred.
13:58We'll put an X in the center box.
13:59Being There.
14:00Right.
14:01Good for an X.
14:02Of course, the other actor was Melvin Douglas.
14:04We know that.
14:05Let's move the categories around as we put an X in the center box and add $300 to the pot, taking it to $7,300.
14:12Candy?
14:13I'll try movies in the lower right.
14:15Same category on movies.
14:17Candy, take a look at this picture, please.
14:20In this scene from a 1980 film, the star is preparing to ride a mechanical bull.
14:25For your first O, name him.
14:27John Travolta.
14:28Yeah.
14:29The film is Urban Cowboy.
14:30John Travolta.
14:31Put it over there.
14:32Let's shuffle it.
14:33We add another $200 into our growing pot of money.
14:36For your first O, name him.
14:39John Travolta.
14:40Yeah.
14:41The film is Urban Cowboy.
14:43John Travolta.
14:44Put it over there.
14:45Let's shuffle it.
14:46We add another $200 into our growing pot of money.
14:49Tom, we turn to you.
14:51Oh, boy.
14:54I'll try botany, I guess, in the lower center.
14:56Botany in the lower center?
14:58All right, Tom.
14:59The female variety of this unusual tree produces distinctive spiny leaves and bright red berries.
15:05Although it grows in only certain areas of the country, almost everyone sees it in Christmas wreaths.
15:10Name it.
15:11Holly.
15:12Right.
15:13Holly.
15:14A wreath of holly.
15:15Put on that snail.
15:16Let's shuffle again.
15:17Moving the categories into different positions on the board and adding $200 to the pot, we
15:21now are playing with $7,700, Candy.
15:24Going to movies again to block.
15:26Back to movies to block.
15:27Tom, take a look at this picture, Candy.
15:29In this popular 1979 movie, Burt Reynolds gets involved in a complicated love triangle
15:36that includes this famous actress.
15:39Name her.
15:40For a block.
15:41Jill Kleberg.
15:42Yes, that's it.
15:43Put an O there for a vertical block of Tom.
15:46Add $200 to the pot, taking it to $7,900, and let's shuffle again.
15:51Lieutenant Tom McKee.
15:58Wink, I'm going to try to take a letter in the right center.
16:01Take a letter it is.
16:02Tom, your letter is A.
16:03A?
16:04A is your letter.
16:05A?
16:06Yes.
16:07A, the first one in the, you know, Tom.
16:09This short-legged mammal is native to the Western Hemisphere.
16:13It's named for the heavy plate-like shell which protects its body.
16:17Name this animal.
16:18Armadillo.
16:19Yes.
16:20That's good for another X on the board in the category.
16:22Take a letter.
16:24$8,100 to play with.
16:26Four boxes are left.
16:28Let's shuffle them around.
16:31Take a letter.
16:32Oddities, animal songs, and botany, Candy.
16:34I'm going to try animal songs to block.
16:36All right.
16:37Across the board, animal songs.
16:38Answer this, Candy, and you'll block him.
16:40During the 70s, the recording team of Seals and Croft released a popular song whose lyrics
16:46asked a certain little bird not to fly away.
16:49For a block, name this little bird.
16:51Hummingbird don't fly.
16:52You got it.
16:53That's right.
16:54Hummingbird don't fly.
16:55Put a roll there.
16:56Good for a block.
16:57Another $200 in the pot.
16:59$8,300.
17:01Three boxes are left.
17:03The categories in them can decide who wins and who loses as we may.
17:07As we move them around.
17:08There they are, Tom.
17:10Wink.
17:11Let's try, uh...
17:12Hmm.
17:13Let's try...
17:14Yes?
17:15Oh, why don't we go with movies in the lower left?
17:16Boy, it took a lot of time.
17:17I had to decide.
17:18Tom, take a look at this picture, please.
17:19In this scene from a 1979 Academy Award winning film, Sally Field tells her problems to a
17:25union organizer.
17:26Name the film.
17:27Norma Rae.
17:28Yes!
17:29Another X on the board for Norma Rae and for Tom as well.
17:31Put an X there.
17:32Another $200 in the pot.
17:33We're now worth $8,500 and we're down to two boxes.
17:37The categories that show up will decide if we have a win or a tie.
17:42Let's move them around.
17:43And the subjects for candy to sell.
17:45The categories that show up will decide if we have a win or a tie.
17:47Let's move them around.
17:48And the subjects for candy to select from or take a letter in oddities.
18:03I'll try oddities to block.
18:05Top right corner of the board for a block.
18:08Candy, here is the question.
18:11The $100,000 bill is used only for large government transactions.
18:17The president whose portrait is on this bill guided America through World War I.
18:24To block Tom, name him.
18:27Maybe it's Woodrow Wilson.
18:30Yes, it is.
18:31Woodrow Wilson.
18:32Good for a block diagonally.
18:34President Woodrow Wilson is the picture on a $100,000 bill.
18:39I haven't seen one lately in the pot now.
18:42We have $8,700 and we have one box remaining.
18:46Let's shuffle.
18:47And the subject that comes up is the subject of quotes.
18:52Tom, if you answer this question correctly on the subject of quotes, we'll have the fifth tie between you two excellent players.
18:59Here's the question.
19:00This famous inventor spoke the verse, Mary had a little lamb into the first successful phonograph.
19:09For a fifth tie.
19:10Wink, was that the first successful phonograph?
19:12I'll repeat it.
19:13This famous inventor spoke the verse, Mary had a little lamb into the first successful phonograph.
19:19For a fifth tie, name him.
19:20Thomas Edison?
19:21Yes!
19:22Time in the pot.
19:23Thomas Alva Edison.
19:24And congratulations to you both.
19:25What a sensational couple of players of tic-tac-dove.
19:26So we're gonna play another game, obviously, with $8,900 in the pot to begin with.
19:32We'll show you nine new categories when we come back in a moment.
19:53I hate to put you and these two players through this wait, but it'll perhaps be worth it.
20:00Right, Candy?
20:01You don't mind at all.
20:02Not at all.
20:03So we'll see you on the next show.
20:04Thanks for some marvelous excitement on this show.
20:06Tom, same to you.
20:07Good luck.
20:08We hope to see all of you back here next time for another edition of tic-tac-dove.
20:12Can he continue his winning ways?
20:13Will she become our new champion and knock him off?
20:16We'll find out perhaps next time.
20:18Bye-bye, everybody.
20:23Tic-Tac-Dove is a Jack Barry and Dan Enright production.
20:53It's gonna be a huge gift for you too.
