They don't make them like this anymore. This is great entertainment to me.

Joanne was so pretty.

[@gaffneyrailroading1982]

This is a first. I don't think I've ever seen an episode of any show with two contestants with the same name. Maybe I have and just didn't think about it.

[@edwardsimmons8758]

nice to see you back with more game shows

[@ShawnPMcAllister-ti4ge]

In the summer of 1985 while Tic Tac Dough with host Wink Martindale (later with new host Jim Caldwell coming in the fall) still running in syndication, ABC Daytime carried the daytime version era of the game show THE ALL-NEW TIC TAC DOUGH with host Linda Gray airing weekdays premiering Monday, July 15th!

I think they had just moved to KCOP at this point in the run. Meanwhile, Barry & Enright's "Bullseye" moved from NBC in Burbank to CBS Television City.

I wish they would bring this show back with wink hosting

[@Rlotpir1972]

5:13 - Theme used for calling out contestants on the audience round on "The Joker's Wild" from 1981-1984.

[@trevorpanno516]

I would call this battle Jim I vs. Jim II.

[@ericsamuelson5656]

Aired on WNEP Ch 16 ABC at 7:30 in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre

[@DBR00]

20:19 interesting disclaimer stating that audience shots were post recorded!

[@wns808]

Dragon strikes at 7:46 & 18:12

[@TheRenard10]

At the 3:15 mark, wishing my 34 year old girlfriend would cheer for him & we'd hug, hold each other and kiss/lip lock.

[@laurakruk4692]

Are you able to upload LMAD with Hall? I'm STILL looking for more!

[@MDCSWildcats86]

Obviously NOT the same Jim Crawford who raced at Indy from 1985-86 and 1988-93.

[@danbarker4857]

I wonder if Jack Barry made any game show appearances from his company, excluding of course TJW.

[@MDCSWildcats86]

Unknown. I know he and Wink did a special for Los Angeles television where they talked about TJW's/TTD's top money/prize winners to that point in time.

[@samueljimson9837]

I wonder if Jim ever beaten the Dragon?

[@alexandergonzalez7538]

How long before Kit Salisbury came on the show?

[@adamcurry6443]

end of the 1983-1984 Season.

[@jokerswildfan1972]

What's the name of the judge on this show and TJW? Cool find!

[@zachhoran]

Eric Warner I think was the judge on these shows at this point. Geoff Edwards gave him a little more notoriety as Judge Von Erik on PLay the Percentages. Joe Garagiola put Eric on camera on Strike it Rich 1986/
