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.
Friday nights at my grandparents. We'd all gather around the TV waiting for Wink Martindale to make his entrance. Wish I could go back in time and enjoy these great childhood memories again!
Game shows had some of the best theme music. This one just kicks!
This is still used at major league hockey games in Canada. It's perfect.
I did not know that. What team?
+Larry Stimely, it would make a great intro theme in Major League Baseball.
this was done by mr hal hidey
Larry Stimely Cool to know that, the theme to Card Sharks is used at NJ Devils games. Amazing these themes from 30 to 40 years ago still have life.
From Hollywood, it's everybody's favorite game of strategy, knowledge and fun! It's Tic Tac Dough! And now, here's your host, Wink Martindale!
+Thegamerontop (Matthew Ragosta) Thank you Charlie O'donnell!!
+Thegamerontop (Matthew Ragosta) Thank you Charlie O'donnell!!
(or before 1981) Thank you, Jay Stewart! :D
Thank You Very Much Bob Hilton, Hello Everybody!!
I read that in Charlie O'Donnell's voice
You know that the dragon is shakin' his tail while dancing to the music... 😉
If I was to revive TTD, I would make the dragon vicious during the show but be a dancing machine during the end credits.
TTD needed a dancing dragon, that's for sure! 🙃
MTheChequeGuy shall I ask why the game has a dragon in the first place.
TTD just needed a dragon 🐉 .... it wouldn't be the same without it.
Yea he'll take all the dough away
Tic Tac Dough ran an incredible 8 years with Wink Martindale at the helm (1978-85) It was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid. Now I can get selected episodes of Tic Tac Dough? I just don’t want to get burned by the Dragon.(ROAR!)

Loved Tic Tac Dough as a kid! Watched it all the time when I was a kid. Loved Wink Martindale! Wish GSN would, bring it back
I did, too! I found the dragon most of the time but I got the bundles of fun out of the bonus round watching it.🙈
David Tate Ever played Tic Tac Trivia on those Megatouch machines in restaurants and bars? It felt like being on Tic Tac Dough, with Wink Martindale!
Sounds challenging, what if Thom McKee played it? Would you beat him. I did not know that game was on Megatouch! LOL
Jason Bertalotto Now you know! I have TouchMaster Connect for my Nintendo DS. That one has Tic Tac Trivia. When playing against the computer, you have a chance to steal the square which the computer picks by answering the question correctly. The faster you answer the question, the more points you score.
they never bring back the true greats.
Damn, I can't get this tune out of my head!!! Been tooooooo long since I've heard it!!!!
Hal Hidey, one of the most underrated theme song composers of our time, did this and a lot of other Barry and Enright shows. The guys was a genius.
Best lyrics I could up with are "Crazy fun, crazy fun/We're gonna have some crazy fun!"
Those are some fast hand-claps!! LOL!
Interesting fact - the famous Tic Tac Dough gameboard ran on 9 Apple II computers and displayed various contents (category, X, O, bonus numbers, amounts, TIC, TAC, dragon, as well as custom messages and an active screensaver) in which the Apples were linked to an Altair 8800 machine and a custom console that controlled it all
Thank you for posting this! I've been humming it for years and couldn't remember where it was from. You saved my pop culture sanity! Lol
Love those synthesizers.
From Television City in Hollywood, this is the game of strategy, knowledge and fun, it’s Tic Tac Dough, and now, here’s our host, Wink Martindale!!
WHEN THE TIC TAC DOUGH THEME PLAYS AT THE END OF EACH SHOW… THE AUDIENCE CLAPS ALONG. What a cool theme!
Kenneth Huang. 7/22/24.
Man this song has the stankiest breakdown at 0:46!! Loved this tune as a lil kid!!
Tic Tac Dough is a Jack Barry and Dan Enright Production!
Yeah. This show and "The Joker's Wild", were created by Barry and Enright.

I read that in Charlie O'Donnell's voiy
This theme evokes amazing memories!
The announcers on these CBS and syndicated versions of Tic-Tac-Dough (from 1978-86 were):
Jay Stewart (1978-81, with Johnny Gilbert filling in)
Charlie O'Donnell (1981-86)
I freakin' LOVE this tune!!!! TOTALLY 70's!!
This theme plays through my head whenever I have to do "scantron" exams.
This theme plays in my head when I play Tic Tac Trivia on the Megatouch machines and in "Touchmaster Connect" on my Nintendo 3DS.
3:08 Wink/Jim's entrance among the applause.
1:25 That man right there, Mr. Thom was the greatest player in the history of Tic Tac Dough. It took practically an eternity before someone finally beat him. He was GOAT long before Mr. Ken Jennings.
This theme is 40 years old and it still goes hard. If this doesn’t make you want to get up and dance then there is something not right with you. Lol jk
If I could dance, and I'm not taking anything away from this. but the Newlywed Game theme does it for me!
@@TheBrooklynbodine Family Feud theme makes me wanna dance especially the harmonica version used during ticket plugs. Also Tattletales theme.
TV history was made on Tic Tac Dough when Thom McKee (1:20) became the biggest game show winner in the history of TV up to that time. His total winnings came to $312,700, a PHENOMENAL amount. It was national news.
I watched that show a lot in early elementary school. I learned a lot from it.
i dont know what it is but when you hear themes like this it makes you smile from ear to ear..or maybe its just me
Happy birthday Winston Conrad (Wink) Martindale!
Wink Martindale is younger than Good Friend and Star Trek Legend William Shatner
Fact: When Winker was still hosting Tic Tac Dough, William Shatner starred as Spelling & Goldberg's T.J. Hooker
I used to watch tic tac dough back in the day
"We'll Be Back, In Just a Moment Don't Go Away!!" - "Tic Tac Dough"'s Wink Martindale.
Don't forget Peter Tomarken, Regis Philbin, Allen Ludden, Pat Sajak, Paul Newman, Drew Carey, Jeff Foxworthy, Alfonso Roberto.
This is actually so good; it could have been a Top 40 hit was it not a game show theme.
"The New Tic Tac Dough" is a Jack Barry and Dan Enright Production.
“This is John Harlan speaking. Tic Tac Dough is A Jack Barry & Dan Enright Production!”
I LOVE this theme song!!!!
2:54 You have to send in a postcard or call a phone number to request tickets to the show. There is no web address for an online form in 1978.
Man, loved this theme - so funky soundin XD !!!!
From the Sony Pictures Studios in California, it's everyone's favorite game of strategy, knowledge and fun! It's Tic Tac Dough! And now, here's your host, David Sidoni!
damn i miss these game shows
Me too
The lady in the CBS 2 ad for Tic Tac Dough looked like Mary Steenburgen.
It brings back a lot of memories. Whenever I do scantron tests, this theme always plays in my head.
Bless you, Hal Hidey, whereever you may be.
Ron Flesher he's in heaven RIP 1925-2014
That animated dragon is dangerous.
I miss this great game show. Wink Martindale went on to host the game show DEBT. Also he was one of the animated voices on the cartoon The Jetsons.
"TIC TAC DOUGH" is A Jack Barry & Dan Enright Production!
Hard to top this one.
Actual taping locations:
July 1978-Dec. 1980 CBS TV City
Jan. 1981-May 1984, Sep. 1985-May 1986 KCOP/Chris Craft Studios, Hollywood
Sep. 1984-May 1985 The Production Group Studios, Hollywood
"Crazy Fun" by Hal Hidey. This is a terrific theme to TTD, not that disastrous theme Henry MancinI created for "Tic Tac Dough '90". Mancini's last television theme felt more like a Saturday morning cartoon show about a princess in a far away kingdom, not a theme for a game shoe.
This music used to scare the crap out of me when I was little. Nowadays, I think it had a big influence (perhaps subconsciously) on my music taste and own compositions.
Wink Martindale is the man!
ROOOOOAAAAAAARRRRRR!!!
Wink has doing game shows, for a long time.
My favorite of the B-E shows!
The 3 people who disliked this probably found the dragon!
Rohan Padiyar so true the bass is so cool
Rohan Padiyar Arrrrrrrr!
Either that or they're fans of Patrick Wayne's Tic Tac Dough.
Or they liked Jim Caldwell over Wink Martindale.
@F CZcams Idiots! Excuse me?!
Wink Martindale
From Hollywood, it's everybody's game of strategy, knowledge, and fun! It's Tic Tac Dough! Now here's our host, Wink Martindale!
TIC TAC DOUGH IS A JACK BARRY & DAN ENRIGHT PRODUCTION!!!!!!!
Best ever theme
Hey, I use to watch Tic Tac Dough growing up, I saw the Winker's Version on Pat Robertson's CBN (now abc family), USA Network (now known as the Law & Order Network) and of course GSN (Get in the Game).
I saw Jim's version on abc's affiliate station KATC-TV 3 Lafayette, LA.
But I never saw the CBS version, b/c I wasn't born yet, until I saw it last year here on You Tube.
I hope that GSN can find and recover thoes as well.
God Bless B&E, God Bless Hal Hidey and God Bless the Winkster.
And I watched TTD on WLKY and WTVQ.
The Winkster & Jim were snappy dressers thanks to Botany 500 in fact, Botany 500 has made any Game Show Host look snappy:
The Winker, Jim Caldwell, Dick Clark, Bob Eubanks, Bob Barker, Jack Narz, Tom Kennedy, Alex Trebek, Bill Cullen, Jack Barry, Monty Hall, Jim Lange, Jim Peck, Jim Perry, Kevin O'Connell, Geoff Edwards, Ron Ely, Dan Miller, Jeff MacGregor, Ahmad Rashad, Regis Philbin, Peter Marshall and famous actors like Dick York, Dick Sargeant, Telly Savalas, Sherman Hemsley, Dick Van Dyke, Joby Baker, Bill Macy, Conrad Bain, Mike Connors aka Mannix, Rod Taylor and of course Mr. Family Feud Himself Richard Dawson, Jack Klugman and Legendary Screen Actor James Earl Jones
Not surprised it was on CBS Television City
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.
Frank Genovay yes i remember it vividly. TTD was WOFs lead in during the first 2 seasons of the latter and then When Caldwell became host it moved to WCAU-10 (then CBS now NBC)J! took the 7pm slot at ch 6 and the rest is history.
Before Wheel of Fortune debut, The Joker's Wild had a brief run of repeated episodes at 7:30pm in the summertime AFTER it was moved from WKBS-48.
And Tic Tac Dough aired, here in Kentucky, on WLKY and WTVQ every weeknight from 1978-81, though WLKY resumed airing TTD from 1984-86.
Go,Wink!!
Love the memories.
Oh yes! TTD, one of B & E's Best!

Tic Tac Dough...Hollywood Squares without the celebrities or the bluff answers. Clap along!
For those of you "not in the loop", Wink is the primary backup for Fred Roggin on GSN Live. However, Alfonso Ribiero is hosting this week. But Wink's already got a couple weeks of shows under his belt anyhow, and was one of the first guests on GSN Live.

"From the historic lyman-howe studios stage-d in millerville-city luzerne-county ioml here's the game of strategy knowledge & fun it's tic tac dough & now here's your host wink-martindale" 🇺🇸📺🎬🎤🧑💼🎤🤔🎤🤔🎥.
Lt. Thom MacKee was on that show, until he was defeated.
Who??
This theme just gives me the urge to play Tic Tac Trivia via TouchMaster Connect on my Nintendo 3DS!
This theme makes me wanna play Tic Tac Trivia on those Megatouch machines. I also got Tic Tac Trivia in TouchMaster Connect for my Nintendo DS. Kudos to Warner Brothers Games for porting Tic Tac Trivia to the Nintendo DS.
It was from the Game Show Temple, he posted it on You Tube, but then took'em down, but hopefully, they'll pop up again on You Tube.
crank up the TV man me an my brother would get GIDDY over this
Tic Tac Dough is a Sony Pictures Television Production.
Question: Out of all the TV gameshow hosts today who would you think would host this if it came back??? All replies welcomed.
I know I’m 3 years late, but I could see maybe Wayne Brady hosting it.
Music by Hal Hidey
Where in the world did you get all this stuff? You are an absolute genius! Thank you!
If this were a revival and taped at Universal Studios Florida:
Opening:
Rich Fields: From Universal Studios Florida, it's everybody's game of strategy knowledge and fun, it's Tic-Tac-Dough! And here's your host, Wink Martindale!
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.
Actually, I think Chuck's in his 60's, and I believe he's admitted that leaving Wheel of Fortune was a mistake on his part.
BTW, lets not forget that Bob Barker was 83 when he retired as host of the Price is Right.
2:01, I had that home game.
It's coming back with Tom Bergeron as host!
I sure did, he still has that nice and unique personality, and plus, I saw him on the Most Ourageous Game Show Moments 1 with his close friends Peter Marshall, Jim Lange, Bob Eubanks and special guest Ben Stein and when the show was over they did The Traditional Dating Game Kiss and afterwards they were all nice enough to sign autographs.
It was a nice thing to witness that on TV and that was so nice of Wink and the guys to do so.
and I happend to have that on tape.
God Bless Winker!
WINK!!!!
From kaufman-astoria studios stage-d in millerville-city luzerne-county ioml it's everybody's favorite game of strategy knowledge and fun it's tic tac dough and now here's your host wink-martindale.
Nice clear copy of it
The best Tic Tac Dough host was Wink Martindale, hands down! he could eat Jim Caldwell and Patrick Wayne for breakfast and spit them out! The Good: Tic Tac Dough 1978-85. The Bad: Wink left to do his own show with Merv Griffin called "Headline Chasers," which was pretty good, but TTD rocked along with The Joker's Wild!
Wink's getting up there but still around. I think he's still working.
Larry Stimely yep he has his own Facebook.
I personally think him leaving the show was a mistake. Headline Chasers wasn't successful at all and without him, this show went downhill quickly. And aside from High Rollers, Trivial Pursuit and Dept, he really hasn't had much success with other shows afterwards. I sometimes can't help but wonder if this show would still be on today with him hosting it (like with Pat Sajak on Wheel of Fortune and Alex Trebek on Jeopardy until he passed away).
Oh....I have ways of finding stuff on the internet.
Keyboard plays the theme song. The whistle belongs to "Joker's Wild". I could be wrong.
Both "Tic Tac Dough" and "The Joker's Wild" were created by Jack Barry.
PICO T QUINTOS: Pardon me! How old is the BOTANY 500 Clothing Company based upon that video?
Maybe Chuck Woolery? Chuck's a pretty good game show host!
Oh..........I found it somewhere. LOL
That phone number at the end of the show now belongs to a dry cleaner.
@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.
I think "Tic Tac Dough" was taped, in Los Angeles. Most of the Game Shows are film, in different Television Studios.
1978-1980 - (CBS) Television City
1981-1986 - KCOP-TV Los Angeles
I watched Tic tac dough when I was a kid good game show Jim Caldwell killed the game show. I am now 38 years old.
Jim Caldwell did not kill TTD. Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! killed TTD.
Bryce Landon And even without those two, it still would have had to compete with "The People's Court" and "Entertainment Tonight."
@@brycelandon6387 wheel of fortune and jeopardy also killed syndicated family feud, the nighttime price is right and the joker's wild.
@Harry Mann Jr I would love to see that happened
@Harry Mann Jr yep
Do I go first?
Just out of curiosity, wasn't Todd Newton one of those considered to host Price is Right when Bob Barker retired? I know Drew Kerry got it, which if you ask me was a mistake, but didn't Todd audition for the position?
In a Moment, We'll Play the Game that Intrigued a Nation.
In a Moment, We'll Play the Game of Strategy, Knowledge, and Fun.
In a Moment, We'll Play TIC TAC DOUGH!!!
+Aaron Ladner Why wait?
My 2nd favorite game show theme music, fav is the old 10,000 pyramid. Which game show host had the worst hairdo, Wink Martindale or Chuck Barris?
