00:00Keep it tuned to Game Show Network and good things will follow.
00:05Her name is Mary Ellen Driscoll. She is the highest female money winner in Tic-Tac-Doe history.
00:11To date, she is amassed in cash and prizes, a total of $47,650.
00:18How much longer can her winning streak continue? We'll find out in a moment as...
00:23From Hollywood, it's everybody's game of strategy knowledge and fun.
00:28It's Tic-Tac-Doe!
00:32And now, here's our host, Wink Hortendale!
00:37Thank you, James Stewart. Hello, everybody.
00:43Thank you very much.
00:46We have some unfinished business with this lady who's setting new records for us for the female side of the ledger on Tic-Tac-Doe.
00:54And let's get that underway right now. First, let's say hello to her once again, and here she comes.
00:58Our current champion, who's winning total in cash and prizes, $47,650, is a sports writer who enjoys theater and dance.
01:07Meet Mary Ellen Driscoll.
01:09The fourth picture.
01:10Hello, champ.
01:17Hi, Wink. How are you?
01:18How you doing?
01:19Okay. Everything's fine.
01:20Well, good. Welcome back. Being a lady sports writer, I have a question for you that I wanted to ask you on the other shows, but I didn't.
01:27Do you go into the locker rooms?
01:30Yes, I do, Wink. I find that's the easiest way to get the best interviews after the game.
01:34Does it make you a little nervous, though, being in a men's locker room?
01:39I was really leery at first, Wink, but I find out it's just part of the job, so I just go in and do it.
01:45How do the athletes react?
01:46Okay. Some of them were really skitterish at first, even though they had towels wrapped around them, but they've managed to give it up.
01:56So you just sort of screw in the towel, so to speak.
01:58Oh.
02:00Now, wait a minute. Let's don't start out like that. Let's be nice to each other. Do you have anybody here with you?
02:05Yes, I do. I have a friend of mine from my paper, Gail Miller, and her son, Scott.
02:10Gail, would you hold up your hand there, Scott? Superman right there with Gail. Nice to have both of you here.
02:16Poor thing didn't have anybody. I don't think you've had anybody here at the other shows.
02:18No, they're the first people to be.
02:20Do you feel better now?
02:21Yeah.
02:22Unfinished business from the last show, defeating the dragon. You just won your match. Come on over. Let's see if you can do it.
02:31You can see a board home. You got somebody here now.
02:35All right.
02:36Behind these numbers, of course, are various amounts of money, a tick-a-tack, and the always-present dragon in the center box there.
02:43Reach $1,000 or more, or get the tick-a-tack, and you'll win a nice prize package.
02:47You know all of that, but you don't know what the prize package is yet.
02:51All right. This time, we wanted Mary Ellen to indulge you in a couple of very luxurious gifts.
02:57Jay, if you will, sir.
02:58That's right, Wink. First, Mary Ellen, we have a very special gift for you.
03:02This luxurious gift is worth over $1,800.
03:06It's this stunning 18-carat gold diamond ring.
03:10From Kremitz, makers of jewelry since 1866, this beautiful domed 18-carat gold ring set with rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and diamonds.
03:19Jewelry to wear with pride from Kremitz Jewelry.
03:22And then, Mary Ellen, we have a luxurious island holiday planned for you,
03:26where the sparkle of the water will rival the sparkle of your diamonds.
03:28You're on your way to Tahiti.
03:33Yes, you'll bask in the sun while surrounded by beautiful beaches, blue lagoons, coconut palms,
03:40and an atmosphere you'll never forget.
03:42It'll be nine sensational days in the South Pacific, compliments of Club Universe.
03:46And, Mary Ellen, this luxurious package is worth, in cash and prizes, over $3,800.
03:53I can hear that Tahitian music now in the background.
03:56Tahiti, my island, Tahiti.
03:58Just avoid the dragon or you lose everything.
04:00Get the tick and the tack, you automatically get the doughlet.
04:02Shuffle them all around, cover them up, and begin calling out numbers one to nine.
04:06You going to call out the first one or you want your friend?
04:08I'm going to call out the first one, Wink.
04:09All righty.
04:10I want five.
04:11Number five in the center box.
04:13All righty, let's take a look, Mary Ellen, behind number five, and we have found a tick.
04:16You know what goes with that.
04:17Right.
04:18Got it.
04:19Okay, little Scotty.
04:21Seven.
04:21Scotty says number seven.
04:23All right.
04:24Let's look behind number seven, and do we find tack for an automatic win up here?
04:28Nope, it's $100.
04:29Not bad, Scotty.
04:30It would be $900 a win.
04:32Okay, number two.
04:33Little deuce, number two this time.
04:35Top center on the board to go with $100 or tick.
04:38We find this for you, Mary Ellen.
04:40Tack, you win.
04:41Hello, Tahiti.
04:45Tack, you, Tahiti.
04:46Come on.
04:47Can you get off to go to Tahiti?
04:49I'll work something out, well, thanks, sir.
04:51Yeah.
04:52Did he have enough sport riders around the paper there to let you off for a few weeks?
04:56Well, make sure they find enough.
04:58Yeah, let them worry about that.
04:59Right.
05:00Boy, it didn't take long.
05:01Three calls.
05:02You got the tick and the tack.
05:03Tick behind number two.
05:04Tick behind number five.
05:06Where do you think the dragon was located?
05:07Let's ask Scotty.
05:08Shall we ask Scotty?
05:09Yeah, thank you.
05:09He gave you your first call.
05:10Of course.
05:10Scotty, where do you think the dragon is up here on the board?
05:14Number eight?
05:16All right.
05:16Let's look behind number eight and see if Scotty was right about that.
05:19$400.
05:20Where was the dragon?
05:21It wasn't behind eight.
05:22She said six.
05:23Somebody said nine.
05:24The dragon was...
05:25Let's look behind all the numbers.
05:26It was behind number six.
05:28You have a total now in cash and merchandise of $51,450.
05:35She's going to go to the EDIs, and we'll be back for our next game in just a moment.
05:391-800-258-6400 for your free Great Start Kit.
05:52Just $1 for three months, then $20 a year.
05:55Don't wait.
05:56Call toll-free.
05:571-800-258-6400.
05:59So far, Mary Ellen has won two of these goodies.
06:04Mary Ellen, defeat four more opponents.
06:06For a total of 15, you'll have a third.
06:07Jay, what are we talking about?
06:09For your driving pleasure, Mary Ellen, it's another brand-new car!
06:18Three cars?
06:19Three cars!
06:19Three cars!
06:21Three cars!
06:22Oh, how tacky three cars.
06:24My goodness.
06:25Let's meet a brand-new player, a new opponent for Mary Ellen.
06:27Who is...
06:28He's part of a medical research team.
06:30Wink, and his interests include yoga and photography.
06:33Meet Ron Charbonneau.
06:35Now, let's get something straight right now, Ron.
06:44You just stand there for just a second before we talk to each other.
06:47Girls, I heard that.
06:49I heard that when he walked out.
06:51He got this...
06:53Now, if you're going to do that, let's do it all at once.
06:57Are you ready?
06:57Come on now.
07:00You didn't do that when I walked out.
07:02But that's all right.
07:03I still love you anyway.
07:04Hello, Ron.
07:05Hello, Wink.
07:05Ron, what type of medical research are you involved with, may I ask?
07:09I'm part of a team of 50 people from different backgrounds.
07:11We're working to develop a bionic ear.
07:13A bionic ear?
07:14What do you mean when you say a bionic ear?
07:16It's an electrical device that will help people who've been totally deaf hear for the first time.
07:21Can they understand the conversation?
07:23Not right now, Wink.
07:24That's maybe five years down the line.
07:26Right now, they can hear sounds of a car horn, someone knocking at the door, a telephone ring.
07:31Their reaction must be fantastic.
07:33Wink, it's incredible.
07:34They laugh, they cry.
07:35It's a little miracle for them.
07:37It's wonderful.
07:38Well, it must be a tremendous experience.
07:39Ron, welcome to our show.
07:40And good luck against Mary Ellen on Tic-Tac-Toe.
07:43Do you have anybody here?
07:44Oh, I have a fan club out there.
07:46You certainly do.
07:47That has already been recognized.
07:50But do you have anybody else here?
07:52I mean, any family members?
07:54Do we have?
07:55Oh, yes.
07:55I have my friend Beverly.
07:56He's sitting in the front row.
07:58Hi, Beverly.
07:59How could you possibly forget Beverly, Ron?
08:02Well, she's...
08:04It's a smile that dazzled me.
08:06It was like the light.
08:06Beverly, one thing.
08:07One thing's for sure, Beverly.
08:09You know, he has a lot of other admirers here, too.
08:11All right, let's take a look at the board and get this game underway.
08:13These are the subjects that you're going to have to cope with on Tic-Tac-Toe.
08:16Good luck.
08:17Comedy movies, aviation, famous lovers, Canada, numbers, mixed words, young stars, anatomy,
08:23and one-word titles.
08:24Mary Ellen, as our champion, you begin.
08:26Let's go for comedy movies in the upper left, Wayne.
08:29All righty.
08:29Here's your question on comedy movies.
08:31Mary Ellen, the 1979 film Fast Break stars this comedian as a New York basketball fan
08:36who's hired by an obscure Nevada college to coach its basketball team.
08:41Name the comedian.
08:42Kaplan.
08:43Yes, Gabe Kaplan.
08:44Put it next to him.
08:45And our first $200 to the pot.
08:47Let's move the categories around, and after we shuffle, Ron Straubinoff, your turn.
08:52Well, Wink, I like to go into the center with young stars.
08:55All right, that's worth $300 to the pot, Ron.
08:57As you may know, it's a little harder, but we do give you some extra time for your answer.
09:00The star of the TV series Little House on the Prairie made his film debut in 1957 as a teenage werewolf.
09:07For many years, he played Little Joe Cartwright in a long-running Western series.
09:11First, I want you to name this actor and then name the Western series in which he played Little Joe.
09:16Here's your extra time to think about it.
09:27Ron, name the actor who made his film debut as a teenage werewolf.
09:31Landon?
09:32That's right, Michael Landon.
09:34Name the Western series in which he played Little Joe.
09:37Bonanza.
09:37Correct.
09:38Good enough.
09:38We're about $0 in the center of that.
09:40$300 to the pot.
09:41Let's move the categories around and move over to Mary Ellen once again.
09:45All right, you're all leaving.
09:46One for one.
09:46Mary Ellen?
09:47I can't resist, Wink.
09:48Famous lovers in the lower left.
09:50Ah, famous lovers.
09:51Here's the question, Mary Ellen.
09:53Yoko Ono is a filmmaker, painter, sculptor, and poet, and has had a much publicized romance
09:59in marriage with a famous singer.
10:02Name her British rock star husband.
10:04Lennon.
10:04Yes, John Lennon.
10:06Former Beatles.
10:07Put it next there.
10:08Let's move the categories again.
10:09You now have $700 as a pot, Ron.
10:12Well, I'd like to block on the left middle with young stars, Wink.
10:17All right, answer this, Ron, and you'll successfully block Mary Ellen.
10:20In a popular TV comedy, two Harlem orphans move into a luxurious New York apartment with
10:26their new wealthy guardian.
10:28Young Gary Coleman stars as the mischievous Arnold, and for a block, I want you to name
10:33the show.
10:37The Jeffersons.
10:38No, different strokes.
10:40Different strokes.
10:41Gary Coleman in different strokes.
10:43$700 pot.
10:44Let's continue.
10:45Move the categories around and move back to Mary Ellen.
10:47Uh, let's try young stars for the win, Wink.
10:52For a vertical win over there on the left side of the board, answer this, Mary Ellen.
10:56You'll pick up $900 cash.
10:58Added to your prior winnings, your grand total would then jump to $52,350.
11:05For Tic-Tac-Toe, Mary Ellen, this is the question on young stars.
11:09This child star portrayed a con artist in the film Paper Moon and a Little League pitcher
11:16in the Bad News Bears.
11:18For Tic-Tac-Toe and a total of $52,350, name her.
11:24Tatum O'Neill.
11:25You got it.
11:26You.
11:26You.
11:39Mary Ellen, congratulations to you.
11:44She can't take her eyes off of Ron.
11:47She's just enjoying talking to Ron.
11:50That's all.
11:50Yeah.
11:50Mary Ellen, you have won a total now of $52,350 in cash and merchandise and the opportunity
11:56to again face the dragon and try to win another trip to the heat.
12:01Or something else.
12:02Who knows?
12:03Maybe to Europe.
12:04Who knows?
12:04We have great, great prize packages.
12:06Mary Ellen, let me ask you a question because Ron's name is Charbonneau.
12:09Charbonneau, am I right or wrong, as a sports writer, you can answer this.
12:12There is a baseball player who had a great year for Cleveland as a rookie.
12:17His name was Charbonneau.
12:18Yeah, Joe Charbonneau.
12:18Okay, Ron, the reason I bring that up, are you in any relation?
12:21Could it be possible?
12:22It might be possible when we back in Canada, the strange things happen, but Joe spells his
12:26name with one N and I spell mine with two.
12:28But you are aware of that guy.
12:29Yeah.
12:30He's a family hero.
12:31Ron, I'm afraid that everybody's going to boo me as you leave, but I'll just have to take
12:36my answers on that.
12:37We do have a couple of nice prizes for you, and as you leave, you guys can boo me.
12:42And Ron, thank you for being with us on Tic Tac Go.
12:44Thank you, Inc.
12:45We'll be back to our bonus game in just a moment.
12:52At this point, to join me over here in front of this board to try to beat the dragon.
12:57Come on.
13:01Welcome back.
13:02Hi, thank you.
13:02Such a nice young man.
13:05You made short trips with him on Tic Tac Go.
13:07Poor guy.
13:09Wow.
13:10Well, listen, we have...
13:11She's fainting a little tear here, but I'm not...
13:13She's kind of glad she's here, though.
13:15All right, now, the gifts in this particular prize package, Mary Ellen, are designed to
13:20enhance your enjoyment of the water.
13:22You like the water?
13:23Love the water.
13:23Listen to Jay Stewart.
13:25First, Mary Ellen, you'll soon be experiencing the thrill of racing down rushing streams in
13:30your exciting new canoe.
13:31Explore the lakes with the tripper canoe.
13:34Float like a butterfly out of perilous streets.
13:36This canoe has the answers.
13:37High-performance rocker with a touch of hand workmanship.
13:40Old-town canoe, a classic canoe builder.
13:43Then, if you want to pick up the speed and increase your water thrills, shoot along the
13:47water on these great new water skis.
13:49Caper Flex water skis, a pair of silver streaks, and the beautiful panel concave design slalom ski.
13:54Plus, a fashionable safety jacket for adults, an exclusive aqua pillow flotation jacket for
13:59children.
13:59All approved by the U.S. Coast Guard and manufactured by Taper Flex.
14:03And next, you'll be dressed and ready to get wet with these great swimwear fashions.
14:08Flexitard layoutards for swimming, exercising, or disco dancing.
14:11With coordinating pants and skirts, contour-forming fabrics in iridescent jewel-tone colors, sensuous
14:17body designs by Gilda for Flexitard.
14:20And finally, Mary Ellen, you're going to have the opportunity to continue your splashy activities
14:24in your own backyard.
14:26Take the plunge into your very own swimming pool.
14:29For a helpful, relaxing fun, it's Musken's Fairmount Swimming Pool.
14:33It measures 24 feet round and 4 feet deep and comes complete with filter, ladder, and accessories.
14:38The Fairmount by Musken.
14:40And Mary Ellen, this water package is worth, in cash and prizes, over $3,500.
14:47Here we go again.
14:49We're ready.
14:50We're ready.
14:50You're going to see a dragon jumping all over the board now, and you know the object of
14:54this game from earlier on this show.
14:56Get to $1,000 or more, or get ticket taxed for an automatic win.
14:59But stay away from the what?
15:01The dragon.
15:02You got it.
15:02You know how to play this thing, yeah.
15:04So let's get on to business now.
15:06We're going to see nine numbers.
15:07There they are.
15:08What would you like to begin with, my lady?
15:10I'll start with number two.
15:12Little deuce, top center, number two.
15:13That was one of the good, lucky numbers last time before you, but it's so unlucky this time.
15:18Two is the bad place to start.
15:20There go the water skis.
15:21Well, maybe next time, though.
15:22Don't give up.
15:23Perhaps you'll get a shot at them again later.
15:26Let's take a look at the rest of the board.
15:27The dragon was behind the first number she called number two, and there was where everything
15:31else was located on the board, including the tick and the tack and all of the money.
15:35But you still have all of that money and all of those goodies, including the trip to Tahiti
15:39and the two cars, and it all comes to a total of $52,350 in cash and merchandise.
15:45Isn't that nice?
15:46I mean, we're thinking about the dragon now, but when you stop to recall that amount, you
15:52can't be too unhappy about that.
15:53Not at all.
15:53Now, I don't want to put the pressure on you.
15:55I don't want to jinx you, far be it from the host, to do that sort of thing.
15:58But may I point out one fact to you?
16:01You are about to meet your 13th opponent on Tic-Tac-Toe.
16:06Are you ready for that?
16:08Ready.
16:09All right.
16:09Get over there and let's see who that opponent's going to be.
16:11Jay Stewart.
16:12It's Marissa.
16:13She is a food caterer and a model who enjoys ballet and bodybuilding.
16:19Meet Donna Resnick.
16:27Hello, Donna.
16:28Hello.
16:29Bodybuilding for women, isn't that something rather new?
16:32Relatively new, but it's more and more popular all the time.
16:35Do you lift weights, you know, like men do?
16:38Well, actually, I go to a gym with machines designed for women, 25 or 30 of them.
16:43Yeah.
16:43Is it fair to ask, you know, what you're working on?
16:46My shoulders and my chest, actually, yes.
16:50It works.
16:51So what can I tell you?
16:53What else am I going to say?
16:54What got you into all of this sort of thing?
16:57Well, I read somewhere that Bo Derek looked like everybody else until she started lifting weights.
17:02And now Bo Derek is, I guess, the perfect 10.
17:05How do you rate yourself?
17:06Well, I don't know for sure, but I'd like to hope I picked up a point or two.
17:12You think I'm going to touch that one?
17:13You're just crazy.
17:15Do you have anybody here, Donna?
17:16I do.
17:17Nicholas is out there cheering for me.
17:18Who is it?
17:19Nick.
17:20Oh, hi, Nick.
17:21How are you, Nick?
17:22Nice to have you here.
17:23Mom going to win?
17:24All right, let's find out right now.
17:26Let's take a look at the board.
17:27Marielle and Donna, here they are.
17:28The subjects you're going to be dealing with are fads and follies, men of ideas, TV roles, our capital, physics, potluck pictures, the 70s, mixed drinks, and scary things.
17:38Mary Ellen?
17:42I'll try fads and follies in the upper left.
17:45All righty.
17:45Here's your question.
17:46The Barbie doll was first offered in 1961 with 22 fashionable outfits to choose from.
17:52Since then, she's added a sister, a best friend, and a boyfriend.
17:56Name Barbie's boyfriend and you'll have an ex.
17:58Ken.
17:59Right.
17:59Ken and Barbie.
18:01Famous piece and put an ex there and let's shuffle.
18:04$200 into the pot as you leave the categories around.
18:07And Donna, your first shot at the board is going to deal with which one of those subjects?
18:11Our capital in the center, please.
18:13In the center, our capital.
18:14Donna, Washington, D.C. has several major league sports teams.
18:18I'll give you two sports and you tell me the names of the teams.
18:21First, name Washington's NFL football team.
18:25Secondly, name Washington's NBA basketball team.
18:29Think about that for a few seconds.
18:39Again, Donna, I'll name two sports and you tell me the names of the teams in Washington.
18:43Name Washington's NFL football team.
18:46The Redskins?
18:47Correct.
18:48Now, to complete your answer, to put an O on the board in the center box, name Washington's NBA basketball team.
18:54The Senators?
18:55No, the Bullets.
18:57Senators used to be, when they had a franchise in Washington, the baseball Senators, the Washington Senators.
19:01It was a guess.
19:02The Bullets.
19:03Still $200 in the pot.
19:04We'll be back to our game between Mary Ellen and Donna shortly.
19:11Donna, did you take the center box on sports because you know a lot about sports, you like sports, or just because it was a center box?
19:16I know very little about sports.
19:18It was a center box.
19:19You're going to fool me.
19:20But you'll always now know who the Washington Bullets are.
19:22Always.
19:23Basketball.
19:23And Mary Ellen, you stayed away from physics.
19:25Why?
19:26Yeah.
19:26I was seriously considering a nursing career until I realized I'd have to take chemistry and physics, and I so totally turned away by that that I became a sports writer.
19:34Did you miss one on physics?
19:35I also missed Einstein's theory of relativity in the center box on physics.
19:39It all comes back to me now.
19:40Yeah.
19:40Mary Ellen, congratulations so far.
19:42Donna, Godspeed.
19:44Next show.
19:45We'll see you.
