00:00And here's our host, Sweet Barton Day!
00:05Thank you, Charlie O'Donnell. Hello, everybody. Thank you. Thank you very much.
00:11Well, it's a nice group here and a nice group there at home. Thank you.
00:15We had just met a couple of players on the last show, our champion and our new challenger.
00:19We didn't have time to get a match underway, so let's reintroduce him.
00:22Charlie, if you will, our champ first, please.
00:24Our current champion from Levittown, Pennsylvania, a bartender whose interests include weightlifting and the Philadelphia Phillies,
00:29his winnings total in cash and prizes, $16,950, meet Gary Halfon!
00:37And his challenger as an aircraft specialist whose interests include photography and ice skating, meet Curtis Santos!
00:50Curtis, nice to see you again. Remind us about yourself. You are an aircraft specialist. What does that mean?
00:54What I do is correlate passenger weight, freight, and cargo to make sure the plane's safe to take off.
01:00And your hobby is ice skating?
01:01Ice skating. I've been ice skating on and off for about 20 years. It's my way of getting really good exercise and still being enjoyable.
01:07Can you do all those fancy tricks?
01:09I'm not a Scott Hamill, but I think I can cut a pretty good figure eight.
01:12I tried ice skating once, but I was terrible. Not only couldn't I do a figure eight, I couldn't even do a one.
01:18Did you always start with a one and work yourself up, right?
01:20You start with one and work up.
01:21I'm on thin ice with this whole conversation, so let's move along.
01:24Nice to have you back, Curtis. Well, I promise you we'll get the match underway this time.
01:27Hello, Gary.
01:28How you doing?
01:28Say hello to Gary, everybody.
01:30Last time we found out you are a Philly fanatic, to say the least.
01:34How did your fellow followers feel about your fortune here on Tic-Tac-Toe?
01:37Oh, they feel great, especially my father has been following the festivities.
01:40Oh, really? Well, you've done pretty fabulously so far by adding, what, $16,950 to your funds.
01:51This is a critical game at stake for you. Since the last show, do you remember why this is a critical game against this fellow here?
01:57Because I'm going for a brand new call.
01:59Hey, let's see if he can win it. Here we go.
02:01Ah, move over, Charlie O'Donnell. Your job is in definite jeopardy.
02:10That's another show. Let's take a look at the board.
02:12We take a look at the board and find these subjects with which to deal.
02:15Take a letter, bonus category, oddities, ancient history, children's literature, auction, foreign words, challenge category, and animal songs.
02:23Gary, as our champion, you begin. Where would you like to start?
02:26Let's start out with the bonus category, Wink.
02:28The bonus category, top, center. This is a three-parter, Gary. Answer all these correctly, and you immediately get another turn.
02:34There are nine planets in our solar system. I want you to name the three which are farthest from the sun. Go.
02:41Pluto?
02:42Yes.
02:42Neptune?
02:43Yes.
02:43Uranus?
02:43You got it.
02:46So, in the bonus category, replace an X, $200 in the pop, reshuffle, and Gary, you got them all right, so you get another turn.
02:53Well, let's try the bonus category again in the bottom.
02:54All right, you know how it works. If you answer all three parts, you get another turn. The subject is Asia. Asia.
03:00I'll name three Asian cities, and you tell me the countries of which those cities are capitals.
03:06We're dealing with Baghdad, Kabul, and Taipei. We'll start with Baghdad, Gary.
03:14Iraq.
03:15That is right. Kabul.
03:17Afghanistan.
03:18Right. Taipei.
03:19Taiwan.
03:19You got it. Put another X up there.
03:24Bonus category gets an X, $400 in the pop. We shuffled. Gary, you immediately get another turn.
03:29Let's go for Animal Songs for the win.
03:31If you answer this question correctly on Animal Songs, Gary, that will be your fifth win on Tic-Tac-Toe.
03:37It would be worth cash-wise $700.
03:39It would mean to you a brand-new automobile, and your total winnings would jump to $30,850.
03:48Animal Songs.
03:50In 1963, this folk singing trio had one of their most popular top ten hits with a song about a certain animal named Puff.
03:59Gary, I want you to name the group, and then tell me what kind of animal Puff was.
04:03I'll give you a few seconds to think about those.
04:14The year was 1963.
04:16We're talking about a folk singing trio with one of their most popular top ten hits, A Million Seller.
04:21A certain animal named Puff. Name the group first.
04:23Peter, Paul, and Mary.
04:25Yes, and if you can tell me what kind of animal Puff was, you will have a car at a total of $30,850, Gary.
04:32Puff was a magic dragon.
04:33You got it, and you win.
04:46One of the quickest games and matches on record, Gary.
04:49Congratulations to you.
04:50That's a calculated risk here on Tic-Tac-Toe.
04:52You went for the bonus category.
04:53You got them right.
04:54You lined them up three vertically in a row in a hurry, I might add.
04:57And, Gary, you have $30,850, including a brand-new car.
05:05Congratulations to you.
05:06By the way, Curtis, since that was a blitz match and you didn't even get a pick on the board,
05:10what happens in a situation like that, we will bring you back for the next game.
05:14Is that a deal?
05:15It's a deal.
05:15After we play the dragon, which will come up right after we take a break.
05:24Five opponents in a row on Tic-Tac-Toe.
05:26You win a very nice gift, and Charlie is again going to describe it.
05:29It's a brand-new car!
05:31And now, back to you, Wink.
05:42Okay, Charlie.
05:42Gary, you showed us how to play Tic-Tac-Toe.
05:44Now, show us how to beat the dragon.
05:46Come on over here.
05:49Congratulations to you.
05:51Well played.
05:52Bonus category paid off in a big way, didn't it?
05:54Absolutely.
05:54Now, let's see if the dragon will pay off.
05:56Behind the numbers are various denominations of money.
05:58We have a tick and we have a tack, and, of course, the thing that we talk about.
06:00We have as little as possible on this show.
06:03Get to $1,000 or more.
06:04Get Tic-Tac-Tac, and here's what you're going to win.
06:06Charlie?
06:07Well, Gary, they say good things come in threes,
06:08and you'll believe it when you see these gifts.
06:10First, Gary, to bring a glow to your home,
06:12we have this trio of decorator lamps,
06:14the Rust Rose Collection by Quazelle.
06:16Gracious lighting for any room in your home.
06:17The glass is hand-blown and hand-decorated exclusively by Quazelle.
06:20Then, to keep meals warm,
06:22we have this three-piece set of electric cookware.
06:24A West Bend hostess set, including a versatile buffet server,
06:27keeps food warm and ready to serve,
06:29a stainless steel percolator,
06:30and a slow cooker to double as a serving dish from West Bend.
06:33And finally, Gary, you'll start those meals
06:35with the help of these prizes worth more than $1,800,
06:39this trio of modern kitchen appliances.
06:41From Gibson, kitchen appliances featuring a frost-clear refrigerator freezer
06:45with adjustable canadier shelves, wind glide-out crispers, and a total energy saver system,
06:49a portable dishwasher with three levels of washing action,
06:51and energy saver switch,
06:53and an electric range with high-speed surface elements,
06:55electric clock timer, and self-cleaning oven
06:56to make cooking a pleasure.
06:58All from Gibson, one of the white-consolidated industries.
07:01This good things come in threes package is worth,
07:03and cash and prize is over...
07:04$3,500.
07:07Levittown, New Jersey, huh?
07:09No, Levittown, Pennsylvania.
07:09Well, I came close.
07:11All right, let's cover them up and move them all around.
07:13You move up this way just a little bit.
07:14Don't get too close to the audience.
07:16They look dangerous today.
07:18Anybody out here?
07:19Right there.
07:19My best friend from college, Bruce,
07:21came in from New York for vacation.
07:22Hey, Bruce.
07:23Kid's doing all right.
07:24Maybe he'll split some of the winnings with you.
07:26You're lucky.
07:27Give him a number, Bruce.
07:29Number one, and he'll go with it.
07:30Number one, what do we have?
07:31Fort Gary, Tack.
07:33You need Tick to go with that,
07:34and he'll have a win automatically.
07:36What do you got, Bruce?
07:38Okay, number seven.
07:39Bruce says seven from one to seven.
07:40Do we have Tick for a big win?
07:42$100.
07:42So you need Tick for $900.
07:46Number two.
07:47He's got a lot of advice,
07:48but he takes number two,
07:49and that's good for Tick, and you win.
07:53Oh, yeah.
07:57You are definitely on a roll.
07:58There's no doubt about it.
07:59Are you always this lucky?
08:01I guess I am, aren't I?
08:02I call it luck, too.
08:03He answered a couple of pretty difficult questions
08:05a little while ago,
08:06so it's not all luck.
08:07A lot of it right up here.
08:08A little bit, yeah.
08:08Okay, let's take it.
08:09Where was the dragon?
08:10Three, four, five, six, eight, nine.
08:12It had to be behind number three
08:13in this particular game.
08:15So including your new automobile,
08:16by the way, is that something that you can use?
08:18Absolutely.
08:19How are you going to get it back home to Pennsylvania?
08:21That might be a little difficult.
08:23Well, Bruce is here.
08:24That's right, Bruce.
08:25Yeah, you've got a lot of time.
08:27You won the lamps, the kitchen appliances,
08:28the refrigerator freezer,
08:30the dishwasher, the electric range.
08:31All of that, combined with the car
08:33and what you've won cash-wise,
08:34comes to our grand.
08:35How's this, folks?
08:36Thirty-four thousand three hundred fifty big ones.
08:40Congratulations again.
08:41Want to carry on?
08:42Get over there, then, Gary.
08:44And I think we know who we're about to meet,
08:46but let's welcome him again
08:47with a lot of gusto, Charlie.
08:49Wake, it's our ice-skating aircraft specialist.
08:51Meet Curtis Santos.
08:52Curtis, we've got to stop meeting like this.
08:59You know what?
09:00I was standing here asking Gary those questions a while ago,
09:03and I'm sure you were aware
09:04that if it turned out to be a blitz game,
09:05you would indeed be invited back.
09:07But as he's standing there,
09:09answering all those questions,
09:10boom, boom, boom,
09:11how does a person like Curtis feel standing there?
09:13You're sort of motionless.
09:15You can't do anything until he loses,
09:16and he didn't lose.
09:17I actually feel like you're a little out of control.
09:20A little bit out of control.
09:22Well, you can get in control of this match
09:24because we're ready to start a new one.
09:26Gary Curtis, right back at the beginning again.
09:28Like, we're starting all over.
09:30Numero uno, seesaw, aquatic biology,
09:33cooking football, opponent's choice,
09:34movies jump-in category, and royalty.
09:36Okay, Gary, begin, please.
09:38Let's start out with movies in the lower left.
09:39I was looking for the bonus.
09:40It's not there.
09:41So he starts with movies.
09:42Gary, look at this picture, please.
09:44These are the stars
09:45of one of the biggest hit movies ever made.
09:47I want you to name that film.
09:49Beverly Hills Cop.
09:49Yes, they are Eddie Murphy,
09:51Judge Reinhold, and John Askin.
09:55Big winner, 1984-85, Beverly Hills Cop.
09:58So we shuffle 200 in the pot.
09:59Curtis, finally, it is your turn.
10:01Finally, it's my turn.
10:02Let's try aquatic biology in the upper left.
10:06Aquatic biology is his pick,
10:08and here's your question.
10:09Curtis, this large seabird feeds on fish
10:11that it scoops up into a pouch in its neck.
10:14The bird almost disappeared
10:15during the 50s and 60s
10:16when pesticides like DDT
10:18were in widespread use.
10:20Restrictions on those pesticides
10:21have helped bring the bird back
10:23from near extinction.
10:24Name it.
10:24The pelican.
10:25Yes, the pelican is the correct answer.
10:27Not only did he get a pick on the board,
10:29but he put an O in that box.
10:31All right, Gary, back to you again.
10:33Let's try numero uno, bottom right.
10:35Number one, numero uno
10:36for our number one player at this point.
10:38The largest single retail store in the world
10:41is located at Broadway and 34th Street in New York City.
10:45The store has more than 50 acres of floor space
10:47and employs about 12,000 people.
10:49Name that store.
10:50Macy's.
10:51Yes, Macy's.
10:52R.H. Macy's and Company.
10:54A landmark in the Big Apple.
10:56We've shuffled.
10:57Curtis?
10:58It's opponent's choice to block.
11:00Opponent's choice.
11:01The subjects are going to be
11:02Rivers and Robin Hood.
11:04Rivers and Robin Hood.
11:05Gary, you may have Curtis answer a question
11:07from either of those categories.
11:09Rivers or Robin Hood.
11:11What do you say?
11:12Rivers.
11:13All right, Curtis, he selects rivers.
11:14You need this for a successful block of Gary.
11:17This river starts in the Rockies of Colorado
11:19and flows 1,885 miles to the Gulf of Mexico.
11:25It forms two-thirds of the U.S.-Mexico border
11:28for a block named that river.
11:30The Rio Grande.
11:31You have the block.
11:32The Rio Grande River.
11:34So we put an O there and we shuffle the games.
11:36In the pot, $800, sir, Gary.
11:40Let's go for football on the upper right.
11:42Upper right.
11:42First time on football.
11:43Gary, how long is a football field
11:46in the United States from goal line to goal line?
11:50100 yards.
11:51You have an X in that box.
11:53300 feet or 100 yards.
11:56Another X on the board.
11:57We shuffle four boxes left.
11:58Curtis, $1,000 in the pot.
12:00Let's try aquatic biology, the block again.
12:02For a vertical block, aquatic biology, the subject.
12:05These tiny sea animals are actually related to jellyfish, Curtis.
12:09They usually live together in colonies,
12:11building a limestone skeleton around themselves for protection.
12:14When these animals die, their skeletons remain
12:17and form huge reefs like the Great Barrier Reef
12:19for a vertical block named this animal.
12:22Coral.
12:22Yes, the coral is correct.
12:25That's the call leaf.
12:27Good for a block.
12:28Three boxes remaining in the pot, $1,200.
12:31We shuffle and Gary, numero uno,
12:33opponent's choice or movies.
12:34What's your choice?
12:35Let's go for movies for the win.
12:37In the center, movies.
12:38If you answer this correctly,
12:39you will have won your sixth game of tic-tac-toe
12:41with a diagonal win.
12:43Would give you $1,500
12:44and a total including your car
12:46of $35,850.
12:51Movies, a two-parter.
12:52Take a look at this picture.
12:55In his 1984 film,
12:57this musician gave his regards
12:59to a certain street.
13:01I want you to name him
13:02and then name the street
13:03mentioned in the film's title
13:05and I'll give you a few seconds
13:06to study the picture
13:07and think about the questions.
13:17First, Gary, who is that?
13:19That's Paul McCartney.
13:19Yes.
13:20If you can name the street
13:21mentioned in his film's title,
13:23you'll have tic-tac-toe
13:24and $35,850.
13:27That's Broad Street.
13:28Yes.
13:29You have a win.
13:30Give my regards to Broad Street.
13:36Paul McCartney,
13:37congratulations to you, Gary.
13:38You did it again, $1,500
13:39and the total, I repeat,
13:42I'm sure it sounds good to your ears,
13:43$35,850 in cash and prizes.
13:49And again, we go up against the dragon
13:51in just a moment.
13:52Curtis, sorry it didn't turn out better for you.
13:54What's the easy come, easy go?
13:55Is that your attitude there?
13:56I had a great time.
13:57Anyway, Curtis,
13:58I hope you enjoyed yourself here.
13:59We have a couple of nice parting gifts
14:00and our thanks for being with us on the show.
14:02We'll be back in just a moment.
14:05Gary, with $35,850,
14:07you're still standing there smiling
14:09like you want more.
14:10Is that what you're saying, Gary?
14:11That's what I'm saying.
14:12Come on over here, Gary.
14:15Why not?
14:18Gary says keep a good thing going.
14:20All right, in a moment,
14:21the dragon's going to be jumping around.
14:22He'll find a home.
14:23But first, this is important.
14:25This is what you can win if you beat him.

16:08You have tech there.
16:09No, you have the dragon,
16:10so you lose the trip to Spain,
16:13Portugal, Morocco.
16:14Doggone, that's too bad.
16:15You can't win them all?
16:16No, I can't win them all.
16:16You've lost here before
16:17and it may happen again.
16:18Yep.
16:18Let's look at the rest

16:47Welcome to our show.
16:48Nice to meet you.
16:49You've already met Gary, I see.
16:50Yes.
16:50What do you do
16:50as a medical artist?
16:52Well, it's my job
16:52to create detailed drawings
16:54for scientific journals,
16:56medical textbooks,
16:57lecture slides.
16:58How detailed
16:58do the drawings have to be?
17:00Pretty detailed.
17:01If I was, for instance,
17:02drawing a foot,
17:03I'd have to include
17:04the 26 bones,
17:0535 muscles,
17:06to create the best image
17:07I can for the reader.
17:08Talk about putting
17:09your best foot forward.
17:10That's pretty wild.
17:11Let's step away from this
17:12and talk about your interest
17:13in gardening, however.
17:14Carol, what is your interest
17:16in gardening?
17:16A serious interest
17:17or just a hobby or what?
17:18Pretty serious.
17:18I grow most of my own vegetables
17:20and give a lot away as well.
17:21It gets me outside,
17:23away from the drawing board
17:24to relax and get some sun.
17:26Well, if you care at all
17:28for gardening,
17:29let us look at the board
17:31and see what might turn up there.
17:34Who knows?
17:34Maybe you can pick up
17:36some green stuff there.
17:38Good luck to you.
17:38Carol, Gary,
17:39let's take a look at the board.

18:46two choices.
18:47What would you like to do?
