00:00He is our current champion, whose winnings to date total $34,600.
00:06She is a physicist and is challenging him for the championship.
00:10They've tied five times and are about to start their sixth game.
00:14At stake, the championship, and the money, which will reach beyond $9,000.
00:20In a moment, we'll find out what happens as...
00:23From Hollywood!
00:25It's everybody's game of strategy, knowledge, and fun!
00:30It's Tic-Tac-Toe!
00:33And now, here's our host, Wink Whartendale!
00:38Thank you, sir.
00:41Oh, boy.
00:49Hi, everybody!
00:55I tell you, if I was going to give the applause award, that would be it.
00:58My favorite audience of all time.
00:59That was super.
01:00Nice to have all of you here, and thank you for joining us at home.
01:03Now, let's meet our current champion, Big Money Man.
01:05Our current champion, whose winnings total in cash and prizes $34,600, is a computer systems analyst.
01:13Meet Eric Crepele.
01:16And with the phone is the university professor, whose main interest is the study of high-energy physics.
01:22Meet Dr. Mary Moggy.
01:30Dr. Mary, may I call you Dr. Mary?
01:33Well, you can just call me just Mary, too.
01:34I forgot.
01:35All right, Mary, I forgot your mother was in the audience.
01:37We're going to show her right now.
01:39And I asked, when I hugged her neck, I said, do you mind?
01:42Do you think your mother would mind if I did?
01:44Mom, did you mind at all, me hugging Mary's neck?
01:47That's not too bad, was it?
01:49No, she doesn't mind.
01:50Is your mom the only representative you have here representing your cute little self?
01:56Nice to see you.
01:56Are you still a little nervous?
01:58Everything's going to be all right now.
02:00You reach over there and shake hands with our current champion, Eric, while I stand here
02:03and just sort of make you feel at home.
02:05Eric, do you know how much you've won so far on Tic-Tac-Dove?
02:07I think it's $34,000 plus tax.
02:12You know, when they win over $25,000, the first thing they get, they go out and hire them
02:16a real good tax attorney.
02:18That's what he means.
02:19That tax comes to $600.
02:20So it's $34,600 in cash and merchandise.
02:23Good luck to you both as we get this game underway.
02:25Okay, here we go.
02:34Now I'm sure you'll remember, last show ended in a tie game.
02:37We're about to play the sixth game with Eric and Mary, and these are the categories we're
02:40going to be dealing with.
02:41Our questions will be built around mixed drinks, Joe's and Joseph's, movies, mythology, physics,
02:46World War II, famous lovers, strange names, and one-word titles.
02:51Now, the pot at this point in your match is worth $8,500.
02:58There are the categories.
03:00Eric, to begin a new game, champion always goes first.
03:02So, sir, select, please.
03:04Once again, I'll take physics before Mary does.
03:06All right, yeah, physics.
03:07That happens to be Mary's favorite category.
03:08However, Eric, you go first, and this is your first question.
03:12During the 1870s, an American physicist named Josiah Gibbs developed a rule which describes
03:18the three phases of all matter.
03:20One of these phases is liquid.
03:22I want you to name the other two phases, and I'll give you a few extra seconds to think
03:26about that.
03:36Again, Eric, during the 1870s, an American physicist named Josiah Gibbs developed a rule which describes
03:41the three phases of all matter.
03:43One of the phases is liquid.
03:44You'll have the center box if you can name the other two phases.
03:47Gas and solids.
03:49Right!
03:49That's it.
03:50Good for the X.
03:51In the center box, and $300 more goes into the pot.
03:56By the way, I want to point out, as we do from time to time, when this sort of thing
04:00occurs,
04:01those scheduling questions on Tic Tac Doe have no idea who the contestants will be when
04:05those categories are scheduled for one of our shows.
04:09So, Mary, I just thought I'd point that out to those of you who, well, because she is a
04:13physicist.
04:13$8,800 in cash in the pot.
04:16Let's move the categories around, and, Mary, it'll be your turn to select.
04:23Okay, I'll take World War II.
04:26All right.
04:26On the subject of World War II, this question.
04:28Mary, the war began in Europe when Germany unleashed its blitzkrieg tactics on Western Europe.
04:34What country...
04:34Wink, wink, that's Eastern Europe.
04:36I beg your pardon.
04:37The war began in Europe when Germany unleashed its blitzkrieg tactics on Eastern Europe.
04:42What country was Germany's first conquest?
04:45Poland.
04:46Yes, that's it.
04:49I didn't get it right, but you did, so that worked out.
04:51Put it over there.
04:52Let's move the categories around, and that gives you exactly $9,000 pot to work with, Eric.
04:58I'd like to write strange names.
04:59Left center, please.
05:00All right.
05:00In the category of strange names, his first name was Felix, and he was a legal advisor to Woodrow
05:05Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt before becoming a Supreme Court justice.
05:09His last name is the same as a kind of sausage.
05:12Name him.
05:13Frankfurter.
05:14Right.
05:14Felix Frankfurter.
05:17Oh, great name.
05:18I love it.
05:18Put him next to him.
05:19Let's shuffle.
05:20In the pot.
05:21$9,200.
05:23Well, I'm afraid I'm going to have to take mixed drinks to block.
05:26You're afraid you're going to have to take it?
05:28All right.
05:28Let's see what happens as you try to block him with the answer to this, Mary.
05:32Irish coffee is a St. Patrick's Day favorite.
05:35It's made with hot coffee topped with whipped cream, and a certain spirit is added.
05:40For a block, name this spirit.
05:42Irish whiskey.
05:43You got it.
05:44Irish whiskey.
05:44Good for a block.
05:45Put it over there.
05:46Let's move him around.
05:50Eric.
05:51I'd like to try one-word titles in the top right, please.
05:54And so be it.
05:55One-word titles.
05:56This song's one-word title is a sign of the Zodiac and was one of the hit songs from the
06:00musical Hair.
06:01Name the song.
06:03Aquarius.
06:03Yes.
06:05Very good.
06:06Moving right along.
06:06To the next day, let's shuffle.
06:08In the pot.
06:08$9,600 and four boxes left, Mary.
06:12Okay.
06:12I'll have to take famous lovers in the lower left-hand corner to block.
06:17Again, on the defensive, trying to block him off down there in the bottom left.
06:20For a diagonal block, Mary, here's your question.
06:22According to legend, this 12th century hero was in love with Maid Marian, who shared many
06:28adventures with him in the wilds of the English forest.
06:31For a diagonal block, name him.
06:33Robin Hood.
06:34Yes.
06:34You've done it again.
06:35Another good block.
06:36Put it over there.
06:38In the pot.
06:39Now $9,800.
06:42Getting close to that 10 grand mark.
06:44Three boxes are left, and the categories that appear in them can decide who wins and who
06:48loses.
06:49Ladies and gentlemen, we'll be back in just a moment.
06:58Eric has already won one of these.
07:00This happens when a champion defeats five opponents, but he's having difficulty getting
07:03number two.
07:04What are we talking about when we say it, Jake?
07:07For your driving pleasure, Eric, it's another brand new car.
07:18Eric may get another brand new car.
07:21Right now, Eric is beginning to wonder, will he ever get another new car?
07:25And of course, Mary has other ideas.
07:26Okay.
07:27We have $9,800 in the pot as we continue.
07:30Three boxes remaining on the board.
07:31It can go either way.
07:32Let's shuffle.
07:34Movies, Joe's and Joseph's, and World War II.
07:38I'd like to write Joe's and Joseph's in the bottom center, please.
07:41The category, bottom center, Joe's and Joseph's.
07:43Eric, answer this question correctly, and the pot will break the $10,000 cash mark.
07:48Here's the question.
07:49On the Hardy Boys TV series, brothers Frank and Joe investigated strange mysteries.
07:56Actor Parker Stevenson played the role of Frank.
07:58I want you to name the popular teen idol who played Joe.
08:04Sean Cassidy.
08:05Yes, that's right.
08:08On the Hardy Boys.
08:09And an X goes in that box.
08:13And the pot is now worth $10,000 in cash.
08:17We're now down to two boxes on the big board.
08:19The categories that show up will decide if we have a win or the sixth tie between Eric and Mary.
08:27First order of business, of course, on the board is a shuffle.
08:33Joe's and Joseph's and one-word titles, Mary.
08:35Wink, I'll take Joe's and Joseph's for the block.
08:38All right.
08:38If you answer this question correctly, Mary, we will have the sixth tie between you two.
08:42And here is the question.
08:44In the 1949 classic movie Mighty Joe Young, the title character was a huge African animal
08:50who's brought to New York to star in a nightclub act.
08:54For a sixth tie, what sort of creature was Mighty Joe?
08:58Ape.
08:59Right.
08:59Or gorilla.
09:00You got it.
09:01We have another tie.
09:09And Mary, I see a big smile on your mom's face out there.
09:12She's delighted for you, and we are, too.
09:13And Eric, we're delighted for you.
09:15Wow.
09:17How many ties?
09:18This is one of the most exciting combinations of players we've seen on Tic-Tac-Toe in quite some time.
09:23And, of course, Eric is the gentleman who came on and knocked off our all-time game-winning champion,
09:28not only for this show, but for all time on all game shows.
09:31Eric, I guess you're kind of still getting the feel of doing that, aren't you?
09:35Compared to Tom, yes.
09:37Yeah.
09:37That was, of course, Tom McKee.
09:38And, Mary, are you nervous?
09:39You look like you're feeling more at home now.
09:41Yeah, a little bit.
09:42Marvelous what a few correct answers we'll do, huh?
09:45And a $10,200 pod.
09:47We're going to show you nine new categories, and then we'll get another game underway.
09:50Here they are.
09:53Famous firsts, television roles, fads and follies, maps of nations, geology, scary things, the 20s,
09:59secret category, that can be any category at all.
10:01And a correct answer in that category automatically doubles the pot.
10:04Ninth category on the board, take a letter.
10:06All right, we're all set and ready to go.
10:08Eric, as always, champ goes first.
10:10What would you like?
10:10I'd like to try geology in the center, please.
10:12For $300 to the pot, a little harder, and for that would give you some extra time.
10:15I'll describe two valuable gemstones, Eric, each of which is a prized but impure variety
10:20of the mineral, corundum.
10:23You name the gemstone.
10:25One, this costly variety of corundum is red in color because of the presence of chromium oxide.
10:32Secondly, this expensive gem is blue because it contains iron and titanium.
10:37Think about that.
10:47Eric, again, I'll describe the two gemstones, each of which is a prized but impure variety
10:52of the mineral corundum.
10:53You name the gemstone.
10:54One, this costly variety of corundum is red in color because of the presence of chromium oxide.
11:01That's a ruby.
11:02That is a ruby, correct.
11:03To complete your answer and to put an X in the center box, this expensive gem is blue
11:09because it contains iron and titanium.
11:14Sapphire.
11:14Right.
11:15You got the center box.
11:17X goes there.
11:21And they say these questions are easy sometimes.
11:24$300 in the pot takes it up to $10,500.
11:27Let's move the categories around and move it on over to Mary.
11:30Your decision, doctor.
11:32Okay, I'll take famous firsts.
11:35Famous firsts.
11:36All righty.
11:36Here's the question.
11:37And Mary, this organization was founded in 1776 as the first Greek letter fraternity in
11:42the United States.
11:43The traditional key given to its members has come to symbolize high academic college achievement.
11:48Name this fraternity.
11:49Phi Beta Kappa.
11:51Yes.
11:52Phi Beta Kappa, good for a no.
11:53On the board, let's shuffle.
11:55$200 added to the pot takes it to $10,700.
11:59Eric.
12:01I'd like to try famous firsts, please, on the left side.
12:04All righty.
12:04Again, in the category.
12:05Eric, the face of history was changed on July 16th, 1945, when the world's first atomic
12:11bomb was exploded near Alamogordo in this southwestern state.
12:15Name the state.
12:16New Mexico.
12:17New Mexico.
12:17Yes.
12:18Alamogordo, New Mexico.
12:20For the next day, let's move around again.
12:22Another $400 takes us to $10,900.
12:24Mary.
12:25Okay, I'm going to have to take TV roles to block.
12:28All right.
12:29For a block, Mary.
12:30If you answer this question correctly on television roles, you will have a successful block of Eric
12:34and keep this game going strong.
12:36Here's your question.
12:37Claude Aiken stars in this comedy about the misadventures of a rural sheriff and his two
12:43zany deputies.
12:44For a block, what is the sheriff's last name?
12:48Lobo.
12:49Yes.
12:49Derrick Lobo.
12:51The misadventures of his.
12:52Let it go there for a block.
12:53Let's shuffle him again.
12:55And if you'll note the pot, we've moved over the $11,000 mark now.
12:59Eric, 11-1.
13:02Tempting, but I think I'll try the 20s, please.
13:04The 1920s.
13:06Top right.
13:07Question is this.
13:08In 1928, Alexander Fleming discovered one of the most powerful germ killers known to
13:14a man.
13:14It was derived from a mole that had accidentally started growing in one of Fleming's cultures.
13:21Name this wonder drug.
13:22Penicillin.
13:23Yes, that's right.
13:24Penicillin putting up there.
13:26And another $200 goes into the pot.
13:29That brings the total to $11,300 and still four boxes remaining.
13:35Let's move them around.
13:39Categories are TV roles, the 20s, secret category, and take a letter, Mary.
13:43Well, I'm blocking again, this time with the 20s, hopefully.
13:46The 1920s for a diagonal block.
13:48Here's the question, Mary, in that category.
13:50In 1927, a sculptor began carving the faces of four presidents in the face of a South Dakota
13:57mountain.
13:58For a block, diagonally on the big board, name the mountain.
14:01Rushmore.
14:02Yes.
14:02Mount Rushmore.
14:03Good for another block.
14:05An O goes in that box.
14:07Another $200 goes into the pot as it gets bigger and bigger with every answer.
14:12$11,500 you're working for now.
14:15And on the board, three boxes are left.
14:18Let's see what subjects come up as we shuffle them around.
14:21We see TV roles, secret category, and take a letter.
14:26I'll try the secret category, please.
14:28All right.
14:29The secret category is holidays.
14:33Holidays.
14:34Answer the question correctly, and the pot will double to exactly $23,000.
14:41Although he was born in Britain, the Irish people regard him as the patron saint of Ireland
14:48and honor him in an annual holiday.
14:51To make that pot jump up to $23,000, Eric, name him.
14:56St. Patrick.
14:57Right.
14:57St. Patrick.
15:04So we add another $11,500 as we sweeten the pot considerably.
15:10It is now worth $23,000.
15:13We're down to two boxes, and the categories that show up will decide if we have a win or
15:19a seventh tie.
15:20By the way, the record number of ties ever on Tic-Tac-Toe, that would be it.
15:24Will they pull it off?
15:26Will we have another tie?
15:27We're going to find out right after we come back.
15:29Don't go away.
15:36Two boxes are left on the board and in the pot, $23,000.
15:43Let's see what happens as we shuffle.
15:46The subjects that are on the board, TV rolls and take a letter.
15:51Mary, it is your turn.
15:52Wink, I'll take TV rolls for the block.
15:55Mary, I will inform you, as if you didn't know already, that if you answer this question
16:00correctly, we will have the seventh tie on Tic-Tac-Toe between you and Eric, and that
16:05is a record number of ties ever on this show.
16:07Mary, good luck.
16:08Here is the question.
16:11On the hit comedy, Three's Company, Norman Fell and Audra Lindley play a constantly bickering
16:19married couple.
16:20Later, they had their own comedy series.
16:23To set a record on Tic-Tac-Toe for your seventh tie, what were the characters' last names?
16:30The Ropers.
16:30You got it, and we got a record.
16:47Eric, we've been setting records right and left on Tic-Tac-Toe and game show business,
16:50right?
16:51First, it was Tom McKee, the biggest game show ever, and now, of course, you come along
16:54and he's going to try to stay around here and break Tom's record, of course.
16:57Mary just breaks the record for number of ties.
17:00Of course, you did that with Eric over there, but congratulations to you both.
17:04Very, very exciting series of games.
17:06And in the pot, take a look.
17:08Eric, do you read as I read 23-2?
17:11That's the number I get.
17:12Mary, what do you get when you read that?
17:13Same thing.
17:15$23,200 in cash.
17:17We are going to play a new game now with nine new categories.
17:20It'll be your eighth game, and the pot will continue to grow with every correct answer.
17:25Here are the subjects.
17:28Bearded men, women in film, mixed words, sleuths, the odd one, China, popular music, classical
17:34music, and biographies, or bios.
17:38Time to select, Eric.
17:39Wink, I'd like to try the odd one in the center, please.
17:41The odd one in the center, worth $300 to the pot.
17:43Eric, of the six coins currently minted by the United States Treasury, only one has the
17:48portrait of a president on one side and a picture of his home on the other.
17:53First, I want you to name the president and follow that with the name of his famous home.
17:58Think about that.
18:08Again, of the six coins currently minted by the Treasury, one has the portrait of a president on one side
18:13and a picture of his home on the other.
18:16Eric, first, name the president.
18:19Washington.
18:19No, it's Thomas Jefferson, and the famous home is the Monticello, Monticello, I believe.
18:24The nickel, the nickel is the coin, one of the six coins.
18:27Still $23,200 in cash in the pot.
18:31Let's shuffle.
18:34Mary?
18:36Okay, I'm going to take the odd one.
18:38All right, the odd one, the subject.
18:40Mary?
18:40I'll name three states, only one of which did not secede from the Union during the Civil War.
18:45Was it Kentucky, Tennessee, or Texas?
18:49Which did not, Wink?
18:51Yeah, which one did not secede from the Union during the Civil War?
18:55Pardon?
18:55Kentucky.
18:55Yes, Kentucky.
18:57State of Kentucky.
18:58Put an O there in the odd one.
19:00Let's shuffle them around and add another $200 to the pot.
19:04All right, Eric, she got you on the run now.
19:05I'll have to take bearded men in the center.
19:07In the center, we're $300 to the pot.
19:09Again, it's a two-parter.
19:10Only five of the 38 men to hold the office of President of the United States wore beards.
19:18Here is your extra...
19:20Name two of them.
19:21Oh, I'm sorry.
19:22Yeah, that wasn't on the card, so I want you to name two of the five.
19:26Think about that.
19:36Eric, five of the 38 men to hold the office of President wore beards.
19:40I want you to name two of the five.
19:43Lincoln.
19:43Right.
19:44And Hayes.
19:45Right.
19:46Abraham Lincoln and Rudderford B. Hayes.
19:49The others were Harrison, Garfield, and Grant.
19:51We put an X there.
19:53Let's move the categories around.
19:54$300 added to the pot.
19:55Takes it to $23,700.
19:57Mary.
19:58Okay, let me try bios in the lower right-hand corner.
20:02Biographies.
20:03Question.
20:03This Oscar-winning Swedish actress has written an autobiography entitled My Story,
20:08in which she describes her headline-making affair with a famous Italian film director, Roberto Rossellini.
20:14Name her.
20:15Bergman.
20:15Yes, Ingrid Bergman.
20:17Don't put an over there.
20:18Another $200 in the pot.
20:20Takes it to $23,900.
20:22And at this critical moment, we pause.
20:24We'll be back.
