Part of the reason this show didn't last on CBS too is it was opposite the new and exciting NBC hit "Card Sharks". Wink would later appear as a contestant on "Card Sharks" during a game show host tournament. TTD of course went onto much greater success when it went into syndication just 2 weeks after it's CBS cancellation. Thank you for this post thewhammy83.
Card Sharks being on NBC in that time slot was the biggest reason why this flopped. But then again a lot of the CBS affiliates picked up both The Joker's Wild and Tic Tac Dough in syndication. This leads me to believe this was more of a summertime fling for CBS and/or an intentional failure on Jack Barry's part to "work out the bugs" for syndication.
The CBS Version was Recorded at CBS Television in HOLLYWOOD the same studio that also gave us Barry & Enright Classics The Joker's Wild from 1972-1975 and the 2nd season of the AWESOME BULLSEYE with the late Jim Lange
Originally broadcast on CBS on Monday, July 3, 1978. It was also the CBS Daytime premiere of Tic Tac Dough and it would have either taken 13 weeks or 8 years to end.
I wonder why would Price Is Right didn't notifying the viewers about "Stay tuned to your local news next on this CBS station"? Which was supposed to happen today
About the only thing I remember about the daytime version is the show had a question about Pope Paul VI, who had just died. A superimposed graphic explained that the program had been taped in advance.
I always call it the Goodson-Todman MIC which was used by the likes of Bob Barker & Tom Kennedy on The NEW Price is Right, Gene Rayburn on Match Game, Bert Convy on TattleTales, Alex Trebek on Double Dare, Jim Perry on Card Sharks, Bob Eubanks on Trivia Trap, Jack Barry, Jim Peck & Bill Cullen on The Joker's Wild, Wink Martindale & Jim Caldwell on The NEW Tic Tac Dough, Monty Hall on Beat the Clock, Billy Bush on Let's Make a Deal 2003, Dick Clark on The NEW $25,000 Pyramid, The Models on The NEW High Rollers on NBC and Dr. Susan Stafford on Wheel of Fortune It would've been better had they let Vanna White use the G-T MIC in her debut on Wheel of Fortune
Right, however, the only difference was this: On this version, you pick any # and you earn money whether it's an X or an O, but on the 90's version, you had to pick either X or O which I thought was crazy and try to get a Tic Tac Dough or hit the Dragon Slayer also, during the 90/91 Season with Patrick Wayne hosing TTD, Wink Martindale was busy in Canada hosting The Last Word which would be his final Game Show for the late Merrill Heatter and Jim Caldwell who hosted TTD during the 85/86 Season was busy hosting Top Card for TNN-The Nashville Network
@@tnawcwvictoria and also in the 90s version, more often than not, the player could only win by picking the dragon slayer (i'll admit, the dragon in the 90s version was pretty scary)
I honestly prefer the bonus game used in this version as opposed to the one used in the syndicated version. For one thing, it's still based on the basic concept of tic-tac-toe (locate the lone Tic-Tac-Dough on the board).
I liked this bonus game better too, I find the syndicated version bonus game to play online, but I'd rather find this version, the challenge of finding three's X's or O's without finding the dragon would be a challenge
At least the 1978-86 version of TTD had an excellent endgame where the contestants were able to win $1,000 and prizes by finding amounts (or finding Tic and Tac) before the dragon shows up. In the embarrassing 1990 revival, the bonus game had a dragon and the dragon slayer.
Very interesting! Although I hope a better quality of the CBS's version still exists... probably not though. The jump-in subjects really ruins the strategy and thankfully were removed... until it is its own special category. The different cosmetics just amazes me. X and Os are red and the green-or-yellow-on-black jump-in spaces are really unusual.
At the very least, the jump-in subjects shouldn't have been distributed randomly. It might've been interesting to use them only for the corner boxes, and then make those also worth more (e.g., $150).
This foundational CBS TTD celebrates its 45th anniversary today (foundational because it laid the seeds for one of the biggest things in the career of one Winston Conrad Martindale of Jackson, TN [whom we have known as Wink]).
On "Tic Tac Dough", I prefer the 1978-1986 syndicated daily version much better. Before the 1978-1986 first-run syndicated daily version, it was seen on the CBS daytime version from July 3 to September 1, 1978 (nine weeks before Labor Day).
@@armorybrunotjr.3204 Incorrect. It only lasted nine weeks because it got skunked in the ratings by Card Sharks. The show was sold to syndication the same time it was sold to CBS, and it's failure on CBS daytime cause a panic. The syndicated stations thought they had a bomb on their hands. Luckily the show was much more successful in syndication than on CBS.
8:27 is the Mean Dragon, one of Spike’s older cousin from MLP G1 and G4. The character was related to King Koopa from the “Super Mario Bros.” franchise.
About two years before Thom McKee made TV game show history back then. On the CBS version, contestants were actually limited to 10 games due to CBS' limits of $25K at the time. The syndicated version was the one that contestants can win unlimited amounts of money as long as they win, much like todays' Jeopardy!
Glad somebody posted the CBS version of Tic-Tac again. The downfall for me was the main game. If they had done it the same way the syndicated version on ties, CBS’ Tic-Tac would had stay on the air
Don't forget, CBS at the time had a $25,000 limit. It had to move to the syndicated run for the 1978-1979 season. Most channels team this show with 'The Joker's Wild'.
tirmyta, since you've seen all the episodes, do you recall one where they did a flashback from the 1950's version. When I was in high school two of my friends said they saw it and that was the episode my dad was on.
The CBS had X’s and O’s in the bonus game along with the Mean Dragon. That lasted about two months when it was replaced by the cash amounts along with the “Tic” and “Tac” for the prizes, and the Mean Dragon remains the same for the syndicated run.
Hey, jokerswildfan1972, Ruth did win a car. I can say that with certainty because I'm her son. She missed out on a 2nd car when she lost her tenth game.
Steven F, "Do you have any CBS TTD taped?" As far as I know, only the first four from the first week have been found and have probably been seen here before.
@@thewhammy83 WTG. BTW thanks for all the uploads over the years. GSN is just bleh. Don't have a good DTV signal to get BUZZER. BUZZER makes up for GSN trouble.

I’ve wanted to find this episode for 20 years…thank you so much
I loved TTD and Wink Martindale, too!!!
Wink Martindale did a great job hosting Tic Tac dough . I enjoyed watching this game show
Originally broadcast on CBS on Monday, July 3, 1978. It was also the CBS Daytime premiere of Tic Tac Dough and it would have either taken 13 weeks or 8 years to end.
The CBS version lasted less than two months. It debuted July 3, 1978 and was canned the Friday before Labor Day.
I wonder if any of the CBS episodes are still in existence? Because from 1972, CBS abandoned wiping process
Happy 90th birthday Wink. He was born on December 4,1933
I was familiar with the syndicated version. I loved it so much.
"Stay Tuned" for "The Price Is Right", next over most of these CBS stations!
Price is Right continues with Drew Carey airing to this very day at 11:AM/10 CT/RMT and PT.
And Tic Tac Dough would last an awesome 8 years in syndication, notably on WLKY in Louisville from 1978-81 and again from 1984-86.
I wonder why would Price Is Right didn't notifying the viewers about "Stay tuned to your local news next on this CBS station"? Which was supposed to happen today
Or, for that matter, “Stay tuned for The Young & The Restless following your local news over most of these CBS stations!”
Happy 86 to ya Winker
God Bless You
87 now.
I want this game back for the next generation
And you could get your wish, NBC Universal is planning to revive it with Tom Bergeron as host.
@@MMB18abel Sadly, it failed to sell the pilot.
The Tic Tac Dough Dragon has given me the creeps when I was a child.
The dragon doesn't scare me
About the only thing I remember about the daytime version is the show had a question about Pope Paul VI, who had just died. A superimposed graphic explained that the program had been taped in advance.
Wink using the Sony ECM-51 microphone. 😀👍
It's Bob Barker's mic.
I always call it the Goodson-Todman MIC which was used by the likes of Bob Barker & Tom Kennedy on The NEW Price is Right, Gene Rayburn on Match Game, Bert Convy on TattleTales, Alex Trebek on Double Dare, Jim Perry on Card Sharks, Bob Eubanks on Trivia Trap, Jack Barry, Jim Peck & Bill Cullen on The Joker's Wild, Wink Martindale & Jim Caldwell on The NEW Tic Tac Dough, Monty Hall on Beat the Clock, Billy Bush on Let's Make a Deal 2003, Dick Clark on The NEW $25,000 Pyramid, The Models on The NEW High Rollers on NBC and Dr. Susan Stafford on Wheel of Fortune
It would've been better had they let Vanna White use the G-T MIC in her debut on Wheel of Fortune
You can barely see it
So this is where Patrick Wayne got the X and O's bonus round from, plus adding the Dragon Slayer...go figure.
Right, however, the only difference was this:
On this version, you pick any # and you earn money whether it's an X or an O, but on the 90's version, you had to pick either X or O which I thought was crazy and try to get a Tic Tac Dough or hit the Dragon Slayer
also, during the 90/91 Season with Patrick Wayne hosing TTD, Wink Martindale was busy in Canada hosting The Last Word which would be his final Game Show for the late Merrill Heatter and Jim Caldwell who hosted TTD during the 85/86 Season was busy hosting Top Card for TNN-The Nashville Network

I think finding dollar amounts or Tic and Tac is easier to win.

Armory Brunot,Jr. No... A ‘rapping’ dragon and a ‘rapping’ dragon slayer. Lol
Same here, the CBS Version of the Bonus Game is THE Best
Welcome back to TH-cam, buddy!
I am very glad that your back

Tic Tac Dough took over the time slot of Bill Cullen's Pass the Buck.
On "Tic Tac Dough", I prefer the 1978-1986 syndicated daily version much better. Before the 1978-1986 first-run syndicated daily version, it was seen on the CBS daytime version from July 3 to September 1, 1978 (nine weeks before Labor Day).
Hey what happened to the rest of the first week of the CBS version? It was uploaded before and gone the next.
I wonder why the CBS version wasn't as popular as the nighttime show
It was a 13-week series which entered syndication.
And the syndicated version would last 8 years.
@@armorybrunotjr.3204 Incorrect. It only lasted nine weeks because it got skunked in the ratings by Card Sharks.

Miss the this game show back in the 80s NBC television network teenager hope bring the new game show
Jump In Category was always Red.
That wubba sound effect sure did get around. Here, I thought it was exclusively a Goodson-Todman property.
Owned by CBS, I think. Later, the wind-up SFX would be used often for "The Joker's Wild" starting on the 1978-1979 season.
The wind up SFX was introduced in the shortlived Goodson-Todman quizzer "Double Dare" (1976-77).
Despite the fact the syndicated version didn’t feature any jump-in categories for the first few seasons of its run, the plungers/buzzers remained.
I remember watching this version when I was 5; it aired during the summer before I started Kindergarten.
8:27 is the Mean Dragon, one of Spike’s older cousin from MLP G1 and G4. The character was related to King Koopa from the “Super Mario Bros.” franchise.
This is WAY before someone like Thom McKee broke bank

Robert Lopresti Very true
I wish they aired tic tac dough on buzzr
Not possible, since BUZZR is owned by Fremantle, and "Tic Tac Dough" is owned by Sony Pictures Television.
@@BenJabituya That’s right! “Tic-Tac Dough” is owned by Sony Pictures Television Studios.
Ruth is in the Bible.
Does the final episode of the CBS run exist? It's the only CBS episode I missed.
tirmyta, since you've seen all the episodes, do you recall one where they did a flashback from the 1950's version. When I was in high school two of my friends said they saw it and that was the episode my dad was on.
I wonder if someone won a car on this version?
I don't know why, but I felt like this was on TH-cam before, but in parts, am I wrong?
This episode was indeed posted before--and I do think that it was broken up then.
Three X's is a win!
I like this bonus game
The CBS had X’s and O’s in the bonus game along with the Mean Dragon. That lasted about two months when it was replaced by the cash amounts along with the “Tic” and “Tac” for the prizes, and the Mean Dragon remains the same for the syndicated run.
Did anyone ever win a car on the daytime version of this show?
jokerswildfan1972 I don’t think anyone won a car during the daytime Tic-Tac. I want to say Ruth did it but couldn’t reach the $25K limit
Hey, jokerswildfan1972, Ruth did win a car. I can say that with certainty because I'm her son. She missed out on a 2nd car when she lost her tenth game.
