Tic Tac Dough 1990 | Daniel vs Jody

Today, a game in progress resumes as Daniel defends his championship against challenger Jody. Who will conquer the tic-tac-toe game and take over the X podium?
Since I uploaded an episode of The Joker's Wild, I figure uploading an episode of its sister show would be the only logical thing to post next. (Plus there's not very many episodes of this version online.)
Taken from a USA Network rerun circa April 1993.

[@GrandMasterGalvatron]

I actually really liked this show as a child; theme song and all.

[@randommanyey]

Hosted by Patrick "YOU WINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN" Wayne

[@whammy3323]

2 things I've always loved about this version: 1) The music 2) The animation of the X's and O's flying on the board

[@drummingdanny84]

You can thank Grammy and Academy Award-winning composer Henry Mancini for the music.

[@FormulaPunRacer]

@@drummingdanny84 It's a shame there was never a clean full recording of the theme

[@FormulaPunRacer]

I also like that chiming sound from the categories shuffling. Too bad nobody made a full recording of that cue. But the fact that the contestants always hit their buzzer so quickly so we didn't get to hear that sound for more than 2 seconds is a bummer

[@M200XL]

There probably is a clean full recording of the theme, just unavailable to the public

[@NerdNest83]

And that's about it.

[@TBONE_2004]

Can't wait to see Tic Tac get a REAL revival with Tom Bergeron hosting on ABC in the near future.

[@cevancarr]

It will be on NBC though.

[@Rlotpir1972]

Patrick Wayne sucks! I can’t stand him! Thankfully the 1978-86 version is still a true classic, and I still have the board game.

[@benjamindworken1251]

One of the very first tape trades I've ever done I got this episode. It wasn't off of USA, but original broadcast. Thanks for bringing up these memories.

[@samueljimson9837]

This version of TTD is much different the contestant can keep playing as long as they keep winning but the difference is that they don't win a car after 5 games I just noticed that

[@scottleonard8949]

Daniel's questions were much more difficult than Jody's.

[@cevancarr]

Levar Burton's hosting style on "Jeopardy!" reminded me of Patrick Wayne on TTD.

[@drummingdanny84]

But Levar is more entertaining than Patrick Wayne.

[@cevancarr]

​@drummingdanny84 watching RuPaul on Lingo also reminds me of Mr. Wayne for some reason!

[@wns808]

Yikes! I’d rather have the Jim Caldwell season of TTD over this

[@Watchinwheel]

Agreed

[@FreestyleAllTheWay-ik4gm]

Jim Caldwell was also horrible. Wink Martindale was the best.

[@paullarue2010]

USA Network had this game show, to that game show lineup.

[@thejoshsings9280]

I’m glad she stopped when she did

[@cevancarr]

I think Soul/R&B artist James Brown would have been a great host for TTD - his toothy smile reminds me of Wink Martindale and Patrick Wayne. Only problem was this aired during a stint in jail. Plenty of charisma though in interviews and on stage! (He DID later compete on Celebrity Wheel of Fortune with Little Richard as his partner.) On a more serious note...they could have hired the Poet Laureate of Television Nipsey Russell (who had Barry-Enright game show hosting experience). I consider him the James Brown of game show panelists and hosts.

[@drummingdanny84]

James Brown as a game show host? That would be more of a sitcom than a quiz program.

Taped at Hollywood Center Studios HOLLYWOOD I wonder did this revival share the same stage with the revived JEOPARDY!, Monopoly, Soul Train, The OG Love Connection or the very 1st season of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air?

[@johnissoevil]

Great actor. But as a game show host , Patrick Wayne's enthusiasm sounds forced. Most obvious example of phoning it in.

[@jnadle1]

Maybe Richard Kline (Larry Dallas) should've done it.

[@ClassixSuperRetroPlayhouse]

You;; win your money and your prizes too, find the dragon slayer, that's the right thing to do

[@paullarue2010]

Patrick Wayne's podium, was in the right side.

[@johnfenner5550]

Patrick is a great actor. As a game show host, you could tell his enthusiasm was forced. Wink Martindale and Jim Caldwell were much looser, they always joked around with the contestants.

[@TheRenard10]

[@sha11235]

Only one time did a contestant take the center box.

[@untexan]

A better host and a theme that didn’t get ripped off the Main Street Electrical Parade and this could have been a good show. The rest of the show was left basically intact.

Game Show Gumbo consistently threw Patrick Wayne under the bus for his poor hosting skill.

[@secretareavault]

You could honestly write an essay on how not to host game shows just by watching this show. This is what you get when actors try to be game show hosts.

@@LogoMan7777 That's true, but they're primarily known as reporters or TV show hosts, which often require improvisation and thinking on your feet. Patrick Wayne probably never did anything like that, hence why he comes off as real stiff hosting. (Richard Dawson's probably the rare exception of an actor being a good game show host, but I chalk that up to his years of experience of being a Match Game panelist.)

[@benschlechter]

A couple of differences between this one and the previous versions of TTD: Besides a new host, the set has totally been revamped. Second, the contestant stops the shuffling here, whereas on the previous shows, the shuffling stopped automatically. Then, when it comes to the dragon game, the contestant in this version had to choose between playing x and o, plus you had the dragon slayer along with the dragon. In the other episodes, the Dragon game had the tic, tac, the cash boxes and of course the dragon. I wonder what Wink and Jim(Caldwell) thought of this version?

[@angelmarie2281]

Say something good about Tic Tac Dough '90: I like the theme song...that's it.

[@brucewilson6781]

The increased pot value, although in tie situations the pot should have been carried over, as well as increasing the stakes.

[@Musicradio77Network]

It was Henry Mancini who did this theme song. He was best known for the classic “Moon River” from “Breakfast At Tiffany’s”.

im sick of old games shows getting revivals with good to semi good game show hosts.. i thought match game was going to last long with alec baldwin but it got real corny after a while. I think Family Feud, Price is Right and Press Your Luck are teh only game show revivals that have great hosts.. would be good to have Tic tac Dough return or maybe Fun House. wheel of fortune without pat sajak will stink.. forget who is replacing him and I think Vanna White will be gone too.. Jeapordy isnt the same without trebek.. id love to see Sale of the Century come back and not have lame spinoffs like temptation or a revival that isnt even like the original

[@wturner777]

Alec Baldwin's Match Game was already canceled as well as Anthony Anderson's To Tell The Truth. Family Feud (including the celebrity edition), The Price is Right, Press Your Luck, Let's Make a Deal, and a few others are still going strong. Also Ryan Seacrest will be the official new host of Wheel of Fortune for the '24-'25 season. What's your opinion on that?
