Tic Tac Dough syndicated premiere (1978) Part One

The first game nearly grinds to a halt with 4 straight questions being missed. As was common in the 1st season, there is not a shred of strategy as contestants were solely focused on picking categories they were comfortable with. Johnny Gilbert announces.

Did this 1978 episode ever air on GSN?

[chrisivision07]

I'm pretty sure what you're seeing was originally recorded off GSN from its first year in 1994, before they even had the Winnie on-screen bug. I don't believe the first season has been shown again since though.

Because the people at GSN are high on acid again...

I wanna see ALL B&E Shows once again on GSN!!!!

@pooka5472 and I heard Pat Sajak was once on Days of Our Lives too

@entertainme3000 Well, you know something, Martindale isn't the only game show host to be involved with a soap opera. Another game show host to do this is David Ruprecht, who played Dan Ryan on "Days of our Lives" during the first two years of his run as host of "Supermarket Sweep."

@rksncu Very cool, in fact both he and Wink Martindale worked on Lifetime programming, with Martindale hosting "Debt" and Gilbert announcing for "Supermarket Sweep."

@storrs19 Funny you should mention Don Pardo, since, at separate times, Gilbert and Pardo both announced for "Jeopardy!", with Gilbert announcing for the current Alex Trebek version and Pardo announcing for the original Art Fleming version. In addition, both men also announced for the Bill Cullen version of "The Price is Right", with Gilbert announcing on ABC and Pardo announcing on NBC.

Boy, those bonus reveals are sure weird looking. I always remember them bigger as they were in later episodes. lol

[entertainme3000]

fact: wink Martindale had auditioned for the role of Dr. Alan Quartermaine on Abc tv's General Hospital(Douglas Marland days) the role eventually went to Stu Damon of Hammer And Rogerstein's Cinderella(Prince Charming) He was hired in early February 1977 and appeared til December 2008.

Martindale on the other hand got Tic Tac Dough, to my knowledge lasted til maybe 1985 or 86 and then appeared on a Vegas game show called High Rollers, and has done many resort commercials over the years

The squares are hard to read.

[storrs19]

Yep. He and Don Pardo (who is over 90) just keep on announcing. They are icons for sure and their voices are legendary. Nice to see the premiere of TTD here. This is obviously from an original broadcast or studio master as I don't recall seeing it on GSN and it certainly is not time compressed. Thanks for sharing with us all. I used to watch this and The Joker's Wild every night on our local independent station.

No frickin' way.
