00:01His name is Eric Crepelein.
00:03He is the player who beat Lieutenant Tom McKee,
00:06the all-time winner on any game show anywhere.
00:09Eric is now in the middle of his third game
00:11against physicist Dr. Mary Maggi.
00:13Will he manage to retain his championship?
00:16We'll find out in a moment,
00:18as From Hollywood,
00:21it's everybody's game of strategy, knowledge, and fun.
00:26It's Tic-Tac-Dove!
00:30And now, here's our host,
00:32Wink Whartendale!
00:34Hello, everybody.
00:43Thank you very much.
00:45Let's meet that man who did defeat Tom McKee.
00:48And he's quite a guy himself.
00:50Here's our current champion.
00:51Our current champion,
00:52whose winnings total in cash and prizes $34,600
00:56is a computer systems analyst.
00:58Meet Eric Crepelein.
01:01And his opponent is a university professor
01:04whose main interest is the study of high-energy physics.
01:07Meet Dr. Mary Maggi.
01:09All right, let's find out how lucky you're going to be.
01:14I said, Mary, you feel lucky?
01:15She said, well, I hope so.
01:17Takes a lot more than luck,
01:18as you've already found out.
01:19Right, Mary.
01:20You teach in Southern California.
01:21Yes, I do.
01:22Yeah, in various places.
01:23How does that work?
01:24Well, I teach halftime at Cal State Long Beach
01:27and halftime at Cal Poly Pomona.
01:29Well, you have a wide-ranging knowledge of a lot of subjects,
01:32and we welcome you back to our show.
01:34Against Eric.
01:35Eric, we were talking at the end of the last show.
01:37We were just standing here killing times,
01:40what we were doing, right, Mary?
01:41And you remembered exactly how many questions and answers
01:43that Tom McKee got right and how many you got wrong.
01:46I think you had it right on the nose.
01:48You remember that?
01:48I think he had 385 questions, 32 of them wrong,
01:51and four of those against me.
01:53Yeah, and those four were most important to you and to him
01:56because you then became our champion,
01:57and so far you have won $34,600 in cash and merchandise,
02:03and I wish you good luck.
02:04She's giving you a hard time.
02:05She certainly is.
02:06Let's see what happens as we continue.
02:15Last show, you were in the middle of your third game
02:16when time ran out.
02:17These were the categories we were playing with.
02:19Eric was telling me a while ago
02:20he's having some tough times
02:22with these categories of the Bible,
02:24faces, funny ladies, presidents, cooking, football,
02:27fairy tales, botany, and famous couples.
02:29This is what the board looked like
02:30when we ran out of time on the last show.
02:32The X's for Eric numbering two,
02:34the O's for Mary numbering three,
02:36and in the pot, $4,500.
02:39Let's shuffle and get it back underway again
02:40with Eric, our champion, selecting first.
02:43I'll have to go for faces in the lower left, please.
02:45Lower left on faces,
02:47and of course you're going
02:47for a diagonal block of Mary.
02:49Eric, here's your question for a block.
02:50First, take a look at this picture, please.
02:52He's one of the top stars of the silver screen.
02:54For a block, name him.
02:56Steve McQueen.
02:57Right.
02:57You blocked her diagonally.
02:58Very good beginning.
02:59Put it next there.
03:01Another $200 in the pot.
03:03We have three boxes remaining on the board.
03:05The categories in them
03:05will determine the fate of this game.
03:07Take a look as we shuffle.
03:11Cooking, football, and botany.
03:13Mary?
03:13Well, I'm going to try football.
03:15All right.
03:16Football, bottom center.
03:17Are you a football fan?
03:18You go to football games or watch football?
03:19Well, I used to.
03:20All right.
03:21Let's see what happens as you tried football.
03:23Before pursuing a film career,
03:25Jim Brown rushed for over 1,000 yards
03:27seven different seasons
03:28in the National Football League.
03:30For what team did he play?
03:33He played for Cleveland Wing.
03:34That's right.
03:35The Cleveland Browns.
03:37Another O goes on the board
03:39and another $200 in the pot.
03:41Now, the categories are really well.
03:43We're down to two boxes
03:44as the circle gets tighter.
03:46The categories that show up
03:47will decide if we have a win
03:48or a third tie between Eric and Mary.
03:51Let's shuffle.
03:53There they are.
03:54Oh, me.
03:55I'll try cooking up at the top, please.
03:57I remember right, Eric.
03:58You had a bit of a problem, did you,
03:59with this category the last show?
04:01Yes.
04:02That's my point for it again.
04:03Yes, as a matter of fact, he did.
04:05Eric, if you answer this question on cooking,
04:07we'll have a third tie between you two.
04:09And here is the question.
04:10This delicious pudding-like dessert
04:13sounds like a large antlered animal.
04:17One type consists of such ingredients
04:19as chocolate, egg yolks, and sugar.
04:23For a third tie game, name it.
04:26Moose.
04:27Right!
04:27We have a tie.
04:30We have a tie.
04:31We have a tie.
04:32We have a tie.
04:33We have a tie.
04:34Oh, you had such a, well, I guess blank expression
04:38is not the correct terminology.
04:39But, Eric, you looked nervous with that one
04:42as I started asking the question.
04:44Yeah, it was the antlered beast that gave it away.
04:47All right.
04:47Well, we now have a tie game.
04:48We're going to show you nine new categories,
04:50and the pot will continue to grow from $5,100.
04:53We'll be back in a moment with a fourth game to clean it.
05:02Eric's been trying for several games
05:03to defeat this opponent, Mary.
05:05If he defeats Mary and a couple of other opponents,
05:07he will have won his second one of these.
05:09Jay, what am I talking about?
05:10Well, Eric, for your driving pleasure,
05:12it's another brand new car!
05:16Got one already.
05:17That would be two.
05:18However, Mary has different ideas.
05:21Let's look at the board now
05:22and see what subjects and categories are going to come up.
05:24With $5,100 in the pot to begin with,
05:27we're going to start with potluck pictures,
05:29travel, comic strips, female singers,
05:31anatomy, astrology, dropouts,
05:33spirit of 76, and foreign actors.
05:36Eric?
05:37Try anatomy in the center, please.
05:38Anatomy for $300 addition to the pot.
05:41I'll name two anatomical features of the human body,
05:43and you must tell me in which organ
05:45each of them is located.
05:47First, the anvil.
05:49Second, the ventricle.
05:51Think about that.
06:02The anvil.
06:03Where's it located?
06:03Right, the ear.
06:04How about the ventricle?
06:05The heart.
06:06Right, good for the center box.
06:08Anatomy, good for an X and a shuffle on the board.
06:11As they take different positions on the board,
06:13I point out, for you, Mary, $5,400,
06:16or for somebody.
06:19I'm going to take spirit of 76.
06:21And so it shall be.
06:23Spirit of 76.
06:24Mary, one of the most dramatic episodes of the revolution
06:26occurred on Christmas 1776,
06:28when George Washington led his entire army
06:31across this ice-clog river.
06:33Name it.
06:34The Potomac.
06:35No, the Delaware.
06:37Washington crossing the Delaware,
06:38and remember that famous picture?
06:40$5,400 remaining in the pot.
06:42Let's shuffle again and get back to Eric.
06:49I'll try anatomy again, please.
06:51Again, anatomy in that category.
06:52Here's this question, Eric.
06:53A tendon is a band of tissue
06:56that fastens a muscle to a bone.
06:58Name the band of tissue
06:59which connects one bone to another.
07:03Muscle?
07:03No, a ligament.
07:04A ligament.
07:05So, you're all even again.
07:06Well, so to speak,
07:07there's still one X up there, Mary,
07:09but new life, $5,400 in the pot.
07:11There's the shuffle, and you have it.
07:13Well, I think I'm gonna try dropouts this time.
07:16All right, there's a new subject for Mary.
07:18Dropouts.
07:18After leaving school at the age of 15,
07:20this 92-pound Cockney girl
07:23named Leslie Hornby
07:24became one of the world's most successful models.
07:27What is her one-word professional name?
07:30Twiggy.
07:31Yes.
07:32So that even saves up, am I?
07:34For the answer, Twiggy, let's shuffle.
07:37$5,600 in the pot.
07:38Eric?
07:40I'll try The Spirit of 76
07:41on the right-hand side, please.
07:42Here's the question in that category.
07:44In 1775, this journalist published
07:47the first known article in America
07:49concerning women's rights.
07:50The following year,
07:51he published the revolutionary pamphlet
07:53Common Sense.
07:54Name him.
07:54Thomas Paine.
07:55You got it.
07:57Put an X in The Spirit of 76
07:59as we move the categories around.
08:01We move back over to your left.
08:02And, Mary, that means you.
08:03$5,800 to play with.
08:05Well, I don't like it,
08:06but I'm gonna have to take
08:07foreign actors for the blocks.
08:08All right, you do need this one
08:09for a block, Mary.
08:10Answer this and you'll have it.
08:11This Belgian-born beauty
08:12won an Academy Award
08:13for the film Roman Holiday.
08:15She later won acclaim
08:17for her performance
08:17in Two for the Road
08:18and Breakfast at Tiffany's.
08:20For a block, name her.
08:22Hepburn.
08:22Yes!
08:23I'll agree, Hepburn, to be exact.
08:25Good for a block.
08:26Put it over there.
08:27Let's shuffle.
08:28In the box.
08:29$6,000 bucks, Eric.
08:32I'll try comic strips
08:34in the upper left, please.
08:35All righty.
08:35Comic strips.
08:36The subject?
08:36This, the question.
08:37One of the most popular comic strips
08:38in the country.
08:39Features the adventures
08:40of an army private
08:41whose eyes are always concealed
08:43beneath his hat or helmet.
08:44Name him.
08:45Beetle Bailey.
08:46Yes!
08:47Beetle Bailey.
08:47The infamous Beetle Bailey.
08:49Put it up there.
08:50Four boxes are left
08:51as we shuffle.
08:54Playing with $6,200, Mary.
08:56Well, I didn't do well
08:57on it last time,
08:58but I'm going to have to take
08:59The Spirit of 76 again
09:01for the block.
09:01For a diagonal block,
09:02answer this on
09:03The Spirit of 76.
09:04This American patriot,
09:06who was the first to sign
09:07the Declaration of Independence,
09:09served as president
09:10of the Continental Congress
09:11from 1775 to 1777.
09:14The block, Eric,
09:15name him.
09:20Hancock?
09:21Oh, yeah, it was Hancock,
09:23but you didn't get in
09:23in front of the buzzer.
09:25You were a little bit late.
09:26It was John Hancock.
09:27A little late.
09:28Still $6,200 in the pot.
09:30Still four boxes remaining.
09:33Now, the categories in them
09:34will determine the fate
09:35of this game.
09:36Let's shuffle.
09:38There are the categories, Eric.
09:40By The Spirit of 76
09:40to win, please.
09:41For a diagonal win
09:42and for additional $6,400
09:45added to your prior total,
09:47that would bring your grand total
09:48to $41,000, Eric,
09:50if you answer this question
09:52correctly on The Spirit of 76.
09:55This naval hero,
09:57who is often called
09:58the father of the American Navy,
10:00responded to a British demand
10:01for surrender by stating,
10:03I have not yet begun to fight.
10:06For Tic-Tac-Doe
10:07and a total of $41,000,
10:09name him.
10:11I hope it's Farragut.
10:13No, it's not.
10:14I guess not.
10:14No, it's not.
10:15It's John Paul Jones.
10:17I have not yet begun to fight.
10:20Saved, Mary,
10:21by a great name in history.
10:22Yeah.
10:24That saved you.
10:25And another great name in history
10:26almost got you beat.
10:28All right, $6,200 in the pot.
10:31Still four boxes left.
10:32Let's move them.
10:33And what do we find?
10:33Anatomy, comic strips,
10:35astrology, and Spirit of 76.
10:37Don't they change?
10:38I'll have to take
10:39the Spirit of 76 again to block.
10:41But Mary, truthfully,
10:42wouldn't you like to see
10:43another subject in that book?
10:44Yes, definitely.
10:45But you don't.
10:46So you're going to have
10:47to try to block it
10:48with Spirit of 76.
10:50And here is the question, Mary.
10:52Think very carefully as I ask.
10:53In part,
10:54the American Revolution
10:56was brought about
10:56because of the policies
10:58of the iron-fisted British monarch
11:00who ruled during the war.
11:02For a block,
11:04name him and his number.
11:07George III.
11:08You got it.
11:08That's good for a block.
11:12Put an O there
11:13and another $200 in the pot.
11:16What is it, Mary?
11:17Third time's a charm, right?
11:18And it certainly was for you.
11:19George III.
11:20All right,
11:20we have three boxes left.
11:21At this critical moment,
11:22we're going to stop,
11:23but we'll be back.
11:33All right, Mary,
11:34let me ask you a question.
11:35We've talked to Eric about this.
11:36If you win this game,
11:37you want to let money up there.
11:38What are you going to do
11:39with the money?
11:39What would you do
11:40without let cash?
11:42Well, I could really
11:43use a new car.
11:44A new car?
11:45All right.
11:45That might be a down payment
11:46on one these days.
11:47$6,400 in the pot.
11:49Three boxes left.
11:50The categories in them
11:50can decide who wins
11:52and who loses.
11:53Let's shuffle.
11:55Comic strips,
11:56potluck pictures,
11:57and travel.
11:57I've done enough.
11:58I'll try travel
11:59in the bottom center, please.
12:00All right.
12:00Travel is the subject.
12:01And here's the question
12:02for you, Eric.
12:03This city is built
12:04on and over 100 islands
12:06in a lagoon
12:07of the Adriatic Sea.
12:09Travelers often visit
12:10its famous St. Mark's Cathedral
12:11and bridge of size.
12:13Name this famous
12:14Italian city.
12:15That's Venice.
12:15Correct.
12:16Good.
12:16Venice, Italy.
12:17Great city.
12:18Put an X-ray.
12:19Another 200 in the pot.
12:22Now, circle gets tighter
12:23and tighter.
12:24We're down to
12:25two boxes on the board.
12:26The categories that show up
12:27will decide
12:28if we have a win
12:29or a fourth tie
12:30between you two.
12:32In the pot,
12:33$6,600.
12:35Let's move the subjects around.
12:38There they are.
12:40Well, it's really
12:40Eric's category,
12:42but I'm going to have
12:43to take travel for the block.
12:45Top center,
12:45travel is the subject.
12:48If you answer this, Mary,
12:49we'll have a fourth tie
12:50between you two
12:51and we'll start a new game.
12:53But right now,
12:53first order of business
12:54for you to get this right.
12:56Here's your question.
12:57The Mississippi River
12:58waterfront of this city
13:00is dominated
13:01by the huge
13:02stainless steel gateway arch,
13:04which symbolizes
13:05this city's claim
13:06to being gateway
13:07to the West.
13:08For a fourth tie,
13:10name this city.
13:12St. Louis Swing.
13:13Right.
13:13And a fourth tie
13:14is what we have.
13:22Fourth tie game.
13:24She did it, Eric.
13:25She pulled it off.
13:26Yeah.
13:27And, of course,
13:27you are playing now
13:28for $6,800
13:29as we get this new game
13:30underway in a moment.
13:32Mary, how do you feel?
13:33You must feel pretty good.
13:34Yes.
13:34You were a little bit nervous
13:35about that particular category
13:36and that question,
13:37but you got it right.
13:38And we're going to show you
13:39nine new subjects
13:40and play a fifth game
13:41between both of you
13:42right now.
13:43Here are the subjects.

13:53Eric?
13:54I'd like to try Numbers
13:55in the center, please.
13:56Numbers for $300.
13:57Eric, the question relates
13:59to something you use
14:00every day
14:00and to your sense
14:02of observation.
14:03Okay?
14:03First, how many holes
14:04are there
14:05in a telephone dial?
14:07Secondly,
14:07how many buttons
14:08are there
14:09on today's
14:09push-button phones?
14:11Think about it.
14:21Category is Numbers.
14:22How many holes
14:23are there
14:23in a telephone dial?
14:25Ten.
14:25Right.

14:27on today's
14:27push-button phones?
14:28Twelve.
14:29Yes, that's it.
14:30Man is observant.
14:32I would have known it.
14:33Put it next to you
14:34and shuffle.
14:35$7,100
14:36to play with now, Mary.
14:39Nice.
14:39Big sum of money.
14:41Okay, I'll take
14:42the 70s.
14:44All right, the 1970s.

14:53chess star.

14:56Yes, Bobby Fisher.
14:57That's correct.
14:58Put it over.
14:59Let's shuffle again.
15:00$7,300
15:01to play.
15:03Eric?
15:04Like world literature,

15:08And this is the question.
15:08The books of this
15:09Nobel Prize-winning author
15:10were often set
15:11in his native state
15:12of Mississippi.
15:13His books include
15:14Light in August
15:15and The Sound and the Fury.
15:17Name him.
15:18William Faulkner.
15:19Yes.
15:20William Faulkner
15:21means another X
15:22bottom center on the board
15:23that means he's
15:23coupled for us
15:24and $200 in the prize.
15:26Move him around
15:26with $7,500
15:28to play with, Mary.
15:30Well, I'm blocking already.
15:31Uh, France.
15:33Seems like every time
15:33you turn around,
15:34you're trying to block him, Mary.
15:35For a block,
15:36vertically, answer this.
15:37This French landmark,
15:39which was built in 1880
15:40to commemorate
15:40the French Revolution,
15:41was the world's tallest structure
15:43up until 1929.
15:45For a block, name it.
15:46The Eiffel Tower.
15:47You got it.
15:48That's correct.
15:48Good for a go.
15:49At a block.
15:51Let's jump in the categories.
15:53Another $200 in the pot
15:54takes it to $7,700.
15:56Eric?
15:57I'd like foreign words
15:58in the top right, please.
15:59Okay, first time we've dealt
16:00with the category
16:01of foreign words.
16:02And Eric,
16:03I want you to first
16:04take a look
16:04at this foreign word,
16:05if you will, please.
16:07This is the French word
16:08for a large barnyard animal.
16:11Name it.
16:12I hope it's a cow.
16:13It is.
16:13It's a cow.
16:14V-A-C-H-E.
16:16In foreign words,
16:17an X on the board,
16:19another $200 in the pot.
16:20Would you look at that?
16:21We have made our way
16:22up to $7,900
16:24in an ever-growing pot.
16:26And four boxes
16:27remain on the board.
16:28Not necessarily
16:29the categories
16:30that are in those boxes
16:31right now.
16:31Let's take a look
16:32and see what shows up
16:33as we shuffle.
16:34Mary, numbers.
16:36World lit.
16:37Oddities and men of ideas.
16:38Wink, I'm going to have
16:39to take men of ideas
16:40for the block.
16:41Why, Mary?
16:41You don't have to, Mary.
16:43Why are you going to do that?
16:44Well, I'd like to stay here
16:45a little bit longer,
16:46at least.
16:47I get the idea
16:48on men of ideas.
16:49For a diagonal block, Mary,
16:50here's your question.
16:51The last name
16:52of a German inventor
16:53is given to a unique type
16:55of internal combustion engine.
16:57This motor burns
16:58a commercial fuel oil
17:00and is primarily used
17:01in large trucks
17:02and heavy-duty equipment.
17:04For a block,
17:05as she takes a breath,
17:06name the engine.
17:08Diesel.
17:08Yeah, we can see you breathe
17:09all the way from here.
17:13Oh, good for a block.
17:15The reason I did that,
17:16you can see you just go,
17:18I know it.
17:19So you blocked him.
17:20$8,100 in the pot.
17:22Three boxes left.
17:22Anybody can win.
17:23Take a shuffle,
17:24Mr. Computer.
17:26It's like taking a walk.
17:27Musicals, numbers,
17:28and foreign words.
17:29I'd like to try numbers again,
17:30please, on the left side.
17:31All right.
17:32Again, in the category
17:32of numbers.
17:33Eric, counting both
17:34black and white keys,
17:36how many keys are there
17:37on a piano?
17:3988.
17:39Correct.
17:40Black and white,
17:4188 total.
17:42Put it next there.
17:43In the pot,
17:44$8,300.
17:46We are now down
17:47to two boxes.
17:48Obviously, the categories
17:49that show up this time
17:50will decide if we have a win
17:52or a fifth tie.
17:55Let's move them around.
17:58And we have Animal Stars
17:59and World Literature.
18:01I don't particularly
18:02like the category,
18:03but I'm going to take
18:03World Literature for the block.
18:05Did you ever take
18:05any World Lit courses
18:06while you were studying
18:06chemistry and physics, Mary?
18:08I took one in high school,
18:09but that was pretty long ago.
18:11A long time ago.
18:12A couple of years ago, anyway.
18:13Yes.
18:13All right, Mary,
18:13you're going for a block,
18:14and you need the answer
18:16to this question on World Lit
18:17to block Eric.
18:18His real name was
18:19William Sidney Porter.
18:21And his short stories
18:22were noted
18:23for their surprise endings.
18:25Among them were
18:26The Gift of the Magi
18:27and The Last Leaf.
18:28For a block,
18:29what was his famous pen name?
18:31Could that be O'Henry?
18:33Right!
18:34Henry on the fifth tie.
18:40The Gift of the Magi
18:41and The Last Leaf.
18:42Which one of those
18:43gave it to you?
18:43One of those two,
18:44or would you just
18:45take a wild guess?
18:46Well, The Gift of the Magi.
18:47Yeah, and always the...
18:49That was one of the ones
18:49I read in my high school course.
18:51That's good.
18:52Good.
18:52So that high school course
18:53helped out after all.
18:54$8,500 in the pot.
18:56That was, what,
18:57the fifth tie,
18:58and you're going to be
18:58playing your sixth game
19:00as opponents.
19:01We'll be back
19:02in a moment.
19:08He says, yeah, I knew that
19:10by William Sidney Porter.
19:11When you said that,
19:11I knew it.
19:12Show off, right?
19:12Don't you hate a show off?
19:14And you got it, though.
19:15And of course,
19:15that means a tie game,
19:16means a brand new match
19:17between the two of you.
19:18And of course,
19:18we're going to be starting
19:19with $8,500 in the pot.
19:21Sound good?
19:21Oh, definitely.
19:21Worth coming back for?
19:22Oh, yes.
19:23And of course,
19:23I know you'll return.
19:24We owe you a big check.
19:26$34,600 in cash
19:27and merchandise
19:27for our champs so far.
19:29I'm Wink Martindale
19:29for everybody on Tic Tac Dough.
19:31Ladies and gentlemen,
19:31bye-bye.
