I loved Game Show Network back when they had the viewer interaction games, and, when they had the cooler game shows, like Tic Tac Dough, Bullseye, Card Sharks, and The Joker's Wild. They still have Card Sharks, (but, Now, they just have the more popular shows, like Family Feud, Match Game, and Wheel of Fortune!!)
Yep Game Show Network was awesome for the first several years and then like every other channel (except Antenna and Me-TV, so far) it went down the dumper.
don't see this anymore...i hate how they shrink the credits to show what's next...we all know what's next..we have a guide! the people who worked hard on the show get gipped.
If GSN isn't willing to back to their old ways, I say its time to start giving them competition. Someone should start a rival channel who will do what GSN will no longer do: Show classic game shows. All about supply and demand. There is a demand, GSN wont give the supply, then another network should buy the rights to the shows and let someone else show them if GSN will not.
One thing I have always liked at the end of a long credit roll onTTD is if a game is in progress and there was an O on the board the camera could come in on the O and have the title appear, and simultaniously have x's and o's flash on the screen. I have always wondered how the they did that. Any help would be appreciated.
GSN did improve somewhat in 2001 when Cronin came in as President of the network, they just didn't completely go back to what they were for the first few years.
If its what I'm thinking of, I think it was an early computer generated animated graphic... There are probably a couple of clips from others that have that...
WREYtube, this show did not air in early 1979 during the first syndicated season. Instead, this show was aired in the second syndicated daily season, aired Monday, December 17, 1979 in first-run (Monday, September 15, 1980 in reruns).
I would hope so, but I think the more likely outlet is releasing shows online (Like hulu did with some Hollywood Squares). The problem is demographics. The main targets (18-34) weren't around or are too young to remember many of the great shows, something that wasn't a problem when GSN aired these regularly in the 90s, which is why I think there is a dearth of great shows from the 80s on even in cable. many people tend not to watch what is older than they are, sadly. So the market vanishes. :(
I'm not one of those-- many of my favorites are older than I am, some much older (things like Perry Mason, M Squad, Wanted: Dead or Alive, Barney Miller, The Bob Newhart Show, etc.).
WREYtube, how many episodes of (Tic Tac Dough) from original broadcast syndication, CBN, USA Network, and GSN do you have? can you upload full episodes on Dailymotion and Vimeo instead of just intros and closings since it's so tough here on You Tube? one more thing, since you have a lot of 1970's stuff is it possible you got any of the 45 shows of the CBS (Tic Tac Dough) July 3-September 1,1978 or did your affiliate carry it or not?
Point taken, but try to be a little nicer about it. This comes off as slightly condescending... I put in many hours of my free time creating these clips (and their descriptions and researching to double-check to try and eliminate errors) to share some great memories from my video library. Perhaps a PM or something worded differently when calling me out would be better. There were a few things that led me to think that it was earlier in 1979 and is not a case of deliberate misinformation...
One of the best game show themes ever
0:37 - "Tic Tac Dough" is a Jack Barry & Dan Enright production!
Wish This Gameshow Was Back On The Air
Melissa Hawn Don’t we all. Hell, I would love to host it. It was one of my favorite game shows to watch
I wish I could host this game show and revive it. It's all up to Sony Pictures Television.
Hopefully there’s a revival of this game show of Tic Tac Dough sometime in the near future.
Wink Martindale was my hero as a child!! LOL!!
back when GSN didn't edit out the plugs.

Too bad that match game with Alex Baldwin is taking off air in 2019 or 2020
Yup... and the crazy thing about it... part of the allure of the shows were their music packages... :)
Yep Game Show Network was awesome for the first several years and then like every other channel (except Antenna and Me-TV, so far) it went down the dumper.
this theme iz kinda funky!!!!!

Back when GSN was good and before they split screen the credits!
They split screen the credits? Terrible move. There is so much nostalgia that comes with these closings.
I loved when they first started and the only ads they had were from the Ad Council
gsn was still ok when they started split screening credits. it's when they split screened the entire credit roll that they got bad
when gsn was game show network and it ruled notice the logo bottom left

Running all the text in lowercase before that was cool.

Is that Phil who was on The Jokers Wild in 1978 talking to Wink Martindale during the closing credits?
Yep, the calm, subdued & quaint Phil from TJW.

Jay Stewart was doing the voice-over, right?
1:00 they should have just blurred the audience? Why did game shows do this during the credits?
I asked myself that the same question.
0:11--is that a blurred shot of the floor? Why?
I asked myself the same thing
I think it’s the light bulb border of the Tic Tac Dough sign, blurred so you will focus on the companies’ names
The fee plugs feel like they were redubbed in reruns.
They were. They did the same thing on The Joker's Wild.
And press your luck..sometimes
@@damienchance2622 College Week in the Summer of 1986 definitely had re-dubbed plugs.
@@VahanNisanian supermarket sweep had re-dubbed fees as well
