00:01From Hollywood, it's everybody's game of strategy, knowledge, and fun.
00:07It's Tic-Tac-Doe.
00:09And now, here's our host, Wink Martindale.
00:14Thank you very much, Jay Stewart.
00:19Thank you very much.
00:27Hey, welcome to our show, everybody.
00:28Delighted to have you with us.
00:29We had a little unfinished business with our current champion on the last show.
00:32First of all, we have to meet him, and here he is.
00:34Our current champion, whose winnings total in cash and prizes, $34,600, is a computer systems analyst.
00:43Meet Eric Crepoli.
00:45Good luck.
00:52Hello, Eric.
00:53Welcome back to the show.
00:54Thank you, Wink.
00:54I knew you'd show up with all that money you've won so far.
00:57$34,600 in cash and prizes.
00:59We found out, if my memory serves me right, that you were born in Stockholm, but do you
01:03speak any Swedish?
01:05I speak a bit.
01:06Better than certainly 99% of the people in the world.
01:08It's a small country.
01:09Could you say something for us in Sweden?
01:11Sure.
01:12The rule that I have put Tic-Tac-Toe, men, son, three of the world.
01:17What does that mean?
01:18That means it's a pleasure to be here on Tic-Tac-Toe with such an enjoyable host.
01:30The least I can do is respond to that.
01:32How do you say, let's play Tic-Tac-Toe in Swedish?
01:35Uh, Lotho spiela Tic-Tac-Toe.
01:38Let's see if I can do that.
01:40Do it again for me.
01:41Lotho spiela Tic-Tac-Toe.
01:45Neenie Nino Tic-Tac-Toe.
01:46Huh?
01:48Doesn't that deserve anything?
01:50Anything?
01:53Hey, come on, let's play the game.
01:54Here we go.
01:58I wasn't about to try that one.
02:03He said, you couldn't have been worse than 99% of the world if you'd tried that.
02:06Hey, behind these numbers, if you'll remember, are various amounts of money and a dragon.
02:11There's also a tick and a tack up there.
02:12Reach $1,000 or more, or get the Tic-Tac-Tac, and you'll win the prize package.
02:17Now, if you remember from the last show, the prize package was outdoor furniture, lawn and garden trimmer,
02:21there was a gardening encyclopedia, and a swimming pool.
02:24Could you use that?
02:25Sure.
02:25Cash and prizes came to over $3,200.
02:28Now, remember, avoid the dragon or you lose everything.
02:30Get the Tic-Tac-Tac, and you automatically get the dough.
02:32On our last show, time ran out, of course, before you got a chance to finish playing the bonus game,
02:37and you had selected two numbers.
02:39Here's what the board looked like when we had to stop the festivities.
02:42In box number three, you had $300, and in box number four, you had exactly $400,
02:50or a total of $700 in the pot.
02:52So I'm going to ask you, Eric, what you'd like to do.
02:54Would you like to stop and take the $700 and keep playing?
02:56I think I'll try another one.
02:58All righty.
02:58Which number would you like to begin with as we...
03:03You have some people out here, don't you?
03:04Yes.
03:05Who do you have?
03:06I have my parents, my sister's husband's parents, and some friends of mine that I run into.
03:12Actually, there's a Scotsman whom I met in Kenya who now teaches English in Marseille.
03:15Well, I tell you, your fan club grew since the last show.
03:18Yeah.
03:18All right.
03:19What number would they like?
03:19Did you take one of their numbers?
03:20You're going to make your own stuff.
03:21I'll try number eight.
03:22All right.
03:22Number eight.
03:23Bottom center on the board to go with $700.
03:25Ladies and gentlemen, let's see if it's a good lucky number eight.
03:27Oh, roll them up.
03:29Did you make the pick or did you listen to somebody else?
03:30That was my own.
03:31I think I'll go back to the audience next time.
03:33All right.
03:33Let's look at the rest of the board to indeed show you there was enough to give you much
03:37better than $1,000 up there.
03:38However, you do have a grand total, as I told you at the outset, $34,600 in cash and merchandise.
03:44We'll be back in a moment to continue with a new game of Tic Tac Go.
03:55Eric, when you defeated the first five opponents that you beat on this show, you won something
03:58very special.
03:59Defeat three more for a total of 10 and you're going to win another one.
04:01Jay, tell them about it.
04:02Eric, for your driving pleasure, it's another brand new car.
04:11All right.
04:13By the way, not that you need this reminder, but in case you just tuned in and wondered,
04:17hey, whatever happened to that guy, Tom McKee?
04:19Eric is the guy who defeated the all-time game show champion on Tic Tac Go.
04:23He was able to do what 43 other opponents against Tom was, were unable to, was unable
04:29to do.
04:29How do you like that?
04:30Let's meet a new opponent for Eric.
04:31Here he, here she is.
04:32She's a university professor whose main interest is the study of high energy physics.
04:37Meet Dr. Mary Moggy.
04:45Hello, Mary.
04:46Let's see.
04:47First of all, welcome to Tic Tac Go.
04:48What should I call you?
04:49I could call you doctor, professor, Mary.
04:51What, what, what's...
04:52Wink, please call me Mary.
04:54All right, doctor.
04:55Nice to have you with us.
04:57What's high energy physics all about?
05:00Well, high energy physics is concerned with the elementary constituents of matter and with
05:06the interactions between these particles and also the implications and ramifications of these
05:11interactions.
05:15Well, I'm certainly glad you cleared that up for us.
05:17I think that's most interesting.
05:19I mean, if you don't ask, you never know.
05:21Is that right, audience?
05:22Well, Wink, what do you do for fun after all of that?
05:25Well, Wink, I also like to garden.
05:27Vegetables are my specialty.
05:29I really like the taste of homegrown vegetables.
05:31Oh, that's great.
05:32I know what you mean because this year I'm going to water my garden with pure scotch whiskey.
05:37I just love stewed tomatoes.
05:44Whiskey, scotch, stewed tomatoes.
05:46You guys, you got to know what I'm talking about.
05:47Forget it.
05:48Let's play tic-tac-toe.
05:49Mary, you ready?
05:49Yes.
05:50All right, Eric, here we go.
05:51Take a look at the board.
05:52These are the subjects for the game.
05:54We are going to wrap our questions around the subjects.
05:56Who am I?
05:57The Arabs, Israel, television stars, general science, political leaders, nursery rhymes,
06:02games, and Jacks and Johns.
06:03And as always the case, the champion goes first.
06:05Eric, that's you, so if you'll begin, please.
06:07I think I'll take general science before Mary does, please.
06:09Yeah, good move, Eric.
06:11Good move, smart move.
06:12Now let's see if you can get this.
06:13It's for the center box, worth $300 to the pot.
06:15Of course, for your answer, we give you a little extra time.
06:17I described two noted European scientists of the 19th and 20th centuries, and you name them.
06:22One, the Russian scientist who won a 1904 Nobel Prize for his experiments with dogs dealing
06:28with conditioned responses.
06:30Secondly, the French chemist who discovered that diseases are spread by bacteria,
06:34and who developed a vaccine for rabies.
06:37I'll give you a few seconds to think about that one.
06:48Eric, first, give me the Russian scientist who won a 1904 Nobel Prize for his experiments
06:53with dogs dealing with conditioned responses.
06:55That's Pavlov.
06:56Right.
06:57The French chemist who discovered that diseases are spread by bacteria,
07:00and who developed a vaccine for rabies.
07:03I hope that's Pasteur.
07:04It is for the center box.
07:06So we're putting up there, $300 to the pot.
07:08Let's leave the categories all around on the board.
07:11And move over to Dr. Mary Moore for her first selection.
07:15Okay, um, Wink, I'll take games in the lower right-hand corner.
07:20All right, Mary, here's your first question.
07:21In the game of poker, what do you call a hand in which all five cards are of the same
07:26suit?
07:29A flush.
07:30Yes, a straight flush.
07:31Put it all in the box game for another $200 to the pot.
07:34Let's leave the categories all around.
07:36Okay, playing now with $500 to the pot.
07:38Eric, see if you can sweeten it up a bit.
07:39Political leaders, bottom center, please.
07:41First time in the category of political leaders.
07:43Eric, in 1974, Helmut Schmidt was elected to the highest political office in West Germany.
07:49What is this high office?
07:51He's the chancellor.
07:52Correct.
07:53Another X on the board under that one in the middle.
07:55Another $200 in the pot.
07:56Let's shuffle.
07:58Playing with $700.
07:59Mary, add to it.
08:00Well, this could be rather embarrassing if I miss it, but I'll take general science in the top.
08:05Especially, uh, remembering that speech you made to show me up there a while ago.
08:09General science, going for a vertical block.
08:11Mary, answer this and you've got it.
08:13Scientists and map makers use two imaginary lines to trace the northern and southern boundaries.
08:18of the tropical zone.
08:20One is the Tropic of Cancer.
08:22For a block, name the other.
08:24The Tropic of Capricorn.
08:26Right.
08:26Came through.
08:27Good for a block.
08:28Let's move the categories around if we put an O there.
08:31$900 in the pot.
08:32Eric.
08:33I'll try political leaders in the top right, please.
08:35All right.
08:35And the subject political leaders again.
08:37Give me the name of the monarch who succeeded Francisco Franco as leader of Spain.
08:42That's Juan Carlos.
08:43Right.
08:43King Juan Carlos.
08:45Another X on the board and another shuffle with four boxes left.
08:51Mary.
08:52Uh, Wink, I'd like to take Israel for the block in the lower left-hand corner.
08:56Okay.
08:56This time for a diagonal block of Eric.
08:58Mary, answer this and you'll block him.
09:00Both the flag and the coat of arms of Israel contain the same two colors.
09:05For a block, name them.
09:08Blue and white.
09:09You got it for a block.
09:10Put an O there.
09:12And another $200 in the pot.
09:14Anybody can still win.
09:16Anybody can still lose.
09:17Three boxes left.
09:18Let's shuffle.
09:21Eric.
09:22General science, please.
09:23In the left middle.
09:23All right.
09:24The subject general science.
09:25Here's your question.
09:26This American spacecraft made front page news in March 1979 when it sent back breathtaking pictures
09:33of the largest planet in our solar system.
09:36Name the spacecraft.
09:39Voyager?
09:40Yes.
09:40That's right.
09:41Voyager 2 is a matter of fact.
09:44Another X goes on the board.
09:45Another $200 in the pot.
09:47We're up to $1,500.
09:48And as you can see by the board, the circle's getting tighter.
09:51We're down to two boxes now.
09:52The categories that show up will decide if we have a win or a tie.
09:56Let's shuffle.
09:59General science and nursery rhymes.
10:01Mary.
10:02Wink, I'll take nursery rhymes on the side.
10:04All right.
10:04Nursery rhymes.
10:05Again, the block Eric.
10:06Answer this, Mary.
10:07You'll block him and we'll have a tie game.
10:09Here is the question.
10:11In this nursery rhyme, three little kittens lost certain items and are told by their mother
10:17that they shall have no pie.
10:20For a tie, what did they lose?
10:23Wink, they lost their mittens.
10:25Right.
10:25And we have a tie between Eric and Mary.
10:33That's a long way from general science, too.
10:35All right, $1,700 in the pot.
10:37Now we're going to start a brand new game, show you nine new subjects, nine new categories,
10:40and that pot will get bigger with every correct answer.
10:42Here are the subjects.
10:44Take a look.
10:46Name's the same.
10:47Famous actors, maps of states, animals, opera, country music, numero uno, quotes and initials.
10:53Eric.
10:54I will try opera in the center, please.
10:56In the center box on opera, again, we're at $300 to the pot, Eric.
10:59This famous opera is the story of a Japanese girl named Chocho-san who falls in love with
11:04an American naval officer.
11:06First, name the opera, and then secondly, name its Italian composer.
11:09I'll give you a few seconds.
11:20Story of a Japanese girl who falls in love with an American naval officer.
11:23Eric, name the opera.
11:25Mikado?
11:25No, it's Madame Butterfly.
11:27Madame Butterfly, the Italian composer, Giacomo Puccini.
11:31So, still, $1,700 in the pot.
11:32Let's move the categories around.
11:34And Dr. Moore.
11:36We've got a chance here to jump out in front.
11:38Uh, Wink, I'm going to take Maps of States.
11:41Maps of States.
11:41In the lower left-hand corner of the board, Mary, here's the question.
11:44First, take a look at this map of our country, the United States.
11:46The Tar Heel State is the leading tobacco state of America.
11:49For your first O, name this state.
11:52North Carolina.
11:53Right.
11:53North Carolina.
11:54The great Tar Heel State.
11:56Put an O there.
11:57Let's move the categories around.
11:59$200 added to the pot.
12:00Takes it to $1,900.
12:01And Eric.
12:03I'll have to try famous actors in the center.
12:05All right, she didn't go for that center, so he's going to jump right there and try to get it
12:08this time.
12:08Eric, here's the question on famous actors.
12:10The film Patton won seven Oscars in 1970.
12:14First, I want you to name the famous actor who played General George C. Patton.
12:17Secondly, name the famous American general who was portrayed by Carl Malden in that same film.
12:22Again, think about that.
12:33The first part of your answer, Eric.
12:34Here's the question.
12:35Name the famous actor who played General George C. Patton.
12:38George Scott.
12:38Right.
12:39Name the famous American general who was portrayed by Carl Malden in the same film.
12:43Omar Bradley.
12:44Right.
12:45General Omar Bradley.
12:47So that completes that answer.
12:48And that's good for the next in the center box.
12:50Let's shuffle the categories around and add another $300 to the pot, which we've done.
12:54Mary, it's worth $2,200.
12:55I'll take animals in the lower right-hand corner.
12:59Here's your question, Mary.
13:00The largest living member of the deer family is the European elk.
13:03In America, this animal is known by a different name.
13:07What is it?
13:09Uh, when could that be a moose?
13:11It could be, and it is a moose.
13:13And that's good for another O on the board and another $200 in the pot.
13:18That takes it to $2,400.
13:20Critical moment.
13:21We're going to have to stop, but we'll be back.
13:22Don't go away.
13:31And back to money business, not to be confused with monkey business.
13:33We've got $2,400 in the pot.
13:35We're going to move the categories around with a quick shuffle.
13:40Eric, select, please.
13:41It's got to be country music in the bottom.
13:42Yeah, you need to answer this to block her, Eric.
13:44Try it.
13:45Here's the question.
13:45The singing group that recorded the folk rock hits Mr. Tambourine Man and Turn, Turn, Turn
13:50also had a best-selling country rock album entitled Sweetheart of the Rodeo.
13:55For a block, name them.
13:57The birds.
13:58Right.
13:58Good for a block down there across the bottom of the board.
14:01Three foot in that same shuffle of categories again.
14:04In the pot.
14:05$2,600.
14:06Mary.
14:06Okay, I'm going to have to take maps of states to block Link.
14:09That's right.
14:09He blocked you.
14:10You block him.
14:10That's the way it works.
14:11Take a look at this map of the eastern United States.
14:14This state is the birthplace of Presidents Van Buren, Fillmore, and Theodore and Franklin
14:20Roosevelt.
14:20For a block, name this state.
14:22That's New York, Wayne.
14:23Right.
14:24The great state of New York.
14:25Empire State.
14:27So let us put another O up there for a block.
14:29Four boxes left for you to pick from these subjects as we shuffle.
14:33$2,800, Eric.
14:36Let me try numero uno, please, on the left.
14:38And it shall be numero uno.
14:40Here's your question.
14:40Eric, the world's busiest airport is O'Hare Field, with a takeoff or landing every minute.
14:45Now, in what American city is O'Hare Field located?
14:48Chicago.
14:49Right.
14:49The windy city of Chicago.
14:51What are next there?
14:52Another 200 o'clock.
14:54Now, there are three boxes left.
14:55The categories that show up in them will decide what happens to you in this game.
14:58Most important, as we shuffle.
15:01$3,000 in the pot, too, Mary.
15:03Okay, I'm going to have to take quotes to Blackwing.
15:05Yeah, across the board, therefore, a block.
15:08Answer this one correctly on quotes.
15:09Congressman William Vandiver gave his state its nickname when he said,
15:14Frothy eloquence neither convinces nor satisfies me.
15:18You have got to show me for a block.
15:21Name the show me state.
15:23Missouri.
15:24Right.
15:24You're Missouri.
15:25You've got to be shown.
15:26Good for a block as you put an O there.
15:28$3,200 to play a round with now.
15:30You're down to two boxes.
15:31And the categories that appear in them now will decide what happens to you in this game.
15:35Take a look.
15:38Animals and numero uno.
15:40Numero uno again, please, to block.
15:41All right, to block her vertically.
15:43Answer this, and we'll have a second tie between Eric and Mary.
15:45Here's the question.
15:46Eric, this animal sometimes reaches speeds of 60 miles per hour over short distances
15:52and is the fastest of all land animals.
15:55For a second tie, name it.
15:56That's the cheetah.
15:57Right.
15:58The hunting leopard or the cheetah.
16:00Good for a tie.
16:02So as the next goes there, we throw another 200 big bucks in the pot,
16:06and that sweetens it considerably.
16:07Look at that.
16:08Would you believe that?
16:08$3,400.
16:10Mary, that's cash.
16:11Yeah.
16:12Wouldn't be a bad day's work, would it?
16:13No.
16:14We're going to show you now nine new subjects and get another game underway.
16:17Good match.
16:18Here we go.
16:20The Bible faces funny ladies, presidents, cooking, football, fairy tales, botany, and famous couples.
16:28Eric.
16:29Well, I think I'll try cooking in the center.
16:31Cooking.
16:32The subject.
16:33You're not sure, are you, Eric?
16:34It's not my best.
16:35All right.
16:35Here's your question.
16:36The answer is spaghetti.
16:37Let's see what happens.
16:38The most remarkable thing about this European soup that contains raw tomatoes, garlic, onion, green peppers, and cucumbers
16:45is that it is served ice cold.
16:48First, I want you to name the soup.
16:50Secondly, name the country of its origin.
16:53Think about that.
17:03It's a soup that's served ice cold containing tomatoes that are raw, garlic, onion, green peppers, and cucumbers.
17:08Eric, name the soup.
17:10Goulash?
17:10No, it's gazpacho.
17:12And the country of its origin, of course, Spain.
17:14Still $3,400 in the pot.
17:16Let's move them around.
17:20Doctor.
17:22Okay, I'm going to try the center box with faces.
17:25All right.
17:26In your three games, first time you've ever started with a center box, I believe.
17:28Mary, here is the question on faces.
17:30First, I want you to take a look at this picture.
17:33This American actor stars in the film Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back.
17:38I want you to name him, and then secondly, name the character he portrays in those films.
17:42And I'll give you a few seconds to think.
17:54One of the stars of Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back.
17:57Mary, name him.
17:58Is that Hamill?
17:59Yes, Mark Hamill.
18:00To complete your answer for that center box, name the character he portrays in those films.
18:05Skywalker.
18:05Right, Commander Luke Skywalker.
18:08Very good.
18:09Ready to go to the movies.
18:10Couple of big hits to put a no there.
18:12Let's move the categories around, add $300 to the pot, and move it back to Eric.
18:16It's in your hands.
18:17Eric, where would you like to go?
18:18Try Presidents in the upper left, please.
18:20Stay away from cooking that time.
18:21Presidents.
18:21Eric, here's your question.
18:22This Democratic president became famous for his informal radio talks to the American public,
18:27which were called the Fireside Chats.
18:29Name him.
18:30Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
18:31Right.
18:32So the first text shows up on the board, and he's shuffling him around.
18:36Presidents, good for an X.
18:37$3,900 in the pot.
18:41Wink, I'm going to take the Bible.
18:43All right.
18:43Mary studies the board, comes up with a question on the Bible.
18:46Mary, this biblical king of Israel was the son of David and Bathsheba.
18:50During his reign, a great temple to Jehovah was built.
18:53Name this wise biblical king.
18:55Solomon.
18:56Right.
18:56King Solomon, the wise king.
18:58An old goes in that box.
18:59Let's move him.
19:00In the pot now, a total of $4,100.
19:04It does get exciting.
19:05The Bible to block, please.
19:07All right.
19:07For a block, the subject is the Bible.
19:09Eric, answer this correctly.
19:10You'll block Mary.
19:11Here's the question on the Bible.
19:13According to the Old Testament, he was the father of Isaac and the founder of the Jewish nation.
19:20For a block, name him.
19:21Abraham.
19:22Yes.
19:24In for a block.
19:25The next goes there.
19:26And reshuffle the categories with $4,300 to play with.
19:30Mary.
19:30Okay.
19:31I'm going to take famous couples in the upper right-hand corner.
19:35All righty.
19:35To get that box up there on famous couples, Mary, answer this.
19:38One 1969 comedy film examined the sexual revolution of the late 60s through the eyes of two married
19:44couples.
19:45One of the couples was Bob and Carol.
19:47Now, I want you to name the other couple.
19:51Ted and Alice.
19:52Yes, that's right.
19:53Put an O there.
19:54And famous couples.
19:55Add $200 to the pot.
19:57Now worth $4,500.
19:59Once again, at this critical moment, we're going to take a break.
20:01We'll be back.
20:20Bye-bye, everybody.
20:47Tic-tac-toe with your Jack Berry and Dan Enright production.
20:51Bye-bye.
20:53Bye-bye.
21:02Bye-bye.
21:05Bye-bye.
21:09Bye-bye.
21:11You
