Tic Tac Dough (CBS, Syndication), "Crazy Fun"

This video collage that I made is from the game show, "Tic Tac Dough" that aired on CBS from July 3, 1978 to September 1, 1978. The Syndicated version ran from September 18, 1978 to May 23, 1986.

The hosts were:
Wink Martindale (1978-85)
Jim Caldwell (1985-86

The theme song (supposedly) is called "Crazy Fun" by Hal Hidey.

From 1:21 to 2:00, the following 7 pictures are of Thom Mckee, the biggest winner on Tic Tac Dough who won 43 straight games for a grand total of $312,700 back in 1980 (today, those winnings back then would be nearly a million).

The status of the CBS version is uncertain. It is believed to have been destroyed (except the first four episodes), but the syndicated run with Martindale, and later Jim Caldwell, is intact and currently held by Sony Pictures Television/CBS Television Distribution. Reruns from the Martindale run aired on CBN in 1984 and on the USA Network, while reruns of the Martindale and Caldwell runs appeared on GSN (The Game Show Network). Martindale reruns also appeared in prime-time on WOR-TV New York in the mid 1980s, starting with the first syndicated episode.

Wow the tic tac dough board game! Where did you get it?

[Stratman78]

Oh..........I found it somewhere. LOL

[rktcommander]

Where in the world did you get all this stuff? You are an absolute genius! Thank you!

[Stratman78]

You're welcome!

Well, I don't know if I'm a genius. I maybe far from it.

All I did was collect pictures from the internet from most of the game show websites, put it through Windows Movie Maker and then added the music to go along with the video collage. If there were pictures from a certain game show, I would add the game show theme to it. That all I did.

Who cares WHO hosts the next version of tic tac dough, as long as they bring back this swingin' theme music--that's what really counts!

@DorvellTStewart I had heard that Al Roker and Tom Bergeron were seriously considered for "Price Is Right", but Roker couldn't get out of his contract with "The Today Show", and Bergeron couldn't get out of doing "America's Funniest Home Videos". Drew Carey was supposedly the producers' third choice.

@DorvellTStewart  Rosie O'Donnel was going to be the host of Price is Right

This was one of the shows that met their doom when Wheel of Fortune debuted in 1983. TTD came on before Wheel of Fortune in Philadelphia until 1985 when Jeopardy! (Wheel of Fortune's) companion show moved into that time slot on WPVI (ABC) Philadelphia.

An unusual use for this music: college radio station WVST (broadcasting from the campus of Virginia State University) uses it for their sports coverage...on promos for VSU Trojans baseball, football and basketball games aired live on the station.

Tic Tac Dough was brought back in 1990 with Patrick Wayne, Son of John Wayne. the 1990 Tic Tac Dough Bonus Round featured the Ferocious Dragon, Some X's and O's, and a Brave Dragon Slayer.
