The All-New Tic Tac Dough (NBC/USA) - Episode 1 - Finished!

[dad90]

Sorry to interrupt, but...this is a Center-Box Question that contains TWO questions...

[samthebravesfan]

*looks at the card* Indeed, this is only a one-part question. Naturally, we'll have to chuck it. The answer, by the way, was Pete Maravich. One of the all-time greats.

*takes out another card* Okay, Matt, here is a real two-parter:

The Los Angeles Clippers haven't always been in LA sharing the Crypto.com Arena with the Lakers.  They started existence in 1970 as an expansion team in New York and moved to another California city in 1979, where they renamed themselves to the Clippers.  First: give me the full original name of the team.  And second: tell me the city the team moved to when they became the Clippers.

Here's your extra time

*90 TTD think theme*

For Tic Tac Dough, $2,500 and Game 2, give me your answers, Matt.

[mringgenberg]

New York Knickerbockers

Los Angeles

[samthebravesfan]

*bzzzzt, audience groans*

No, the Knicks are still playing. The first answer is the Buffalo Braves and the second is San Diego. Back to Bill for his next move.

[billmcdee]

Drat I knew that too.

I must try Basketball in the center to block.

[samthebravesfan]

Once again, an attempt to block Matt, this time with Basketball.

From 1980 to 1992, the Boston Celtics featured a Hall of Fame frontcourt of three players that lead the team to four NBA finals and three championships.  One was Larry Bird, the small forward.  First, I want you to name the power forward and then I want you to name the center.

Here's your extra time.

*90 TTD think music*

For the block, Bill, what are your answers?

[billmcdee]

Oh my, I'm far better with team trivia than individual players.


Stabs in the dark here, James Hardy and Paul Pierce.

[samthebravesfan]

*bzzzzzzzt, audience groans a bit*

It was Kevin McHale and Robert Parish.  All great players.  We shuffle once again.

*90 TTD shuffle chimes, 90 TTD stop dings*

Your choice, Matt.

[mringgenberg]

Numbers to Win

[samthebravesfan]

First time in Numbers. Here's your two-part question:

We have a lot of words to describe large numbers. I'll give you two large numbers and you tell me how many zeroes each one of them has. First: a quintillion. Second: a sextillion

Here's your extra time.

*90 TTD think theme*

For Tic Tac Dough and $2,500, Matt, tell me your answers.

[mringgenberg]

18 and 21

[samthebravesfan]

Matt, you have Tic Tac Dough!

*90 TTD win theme, cheers and applause*

*whooooooooosh, bong*

And now the match is all tied up at a game apiece and you both have some money to take home with you no matter what else happens here.  But I know both of you want to Beat the Dragon.  What will happen in Game 3?  Find out when we return from the commercial break!

*cheers and applause, logo appears at the wide shot of the set, fade out*

[billmcdee]

Way to go Matt!  And Happy New Year Matt & Sam and everybody!

[samthebravesfan]

{Happy new year, Bill! Game 3 will start soon!}

[samthebravesfan]

*fade in, applause*

Welcome back to The All-New Tic Tac Dough, everyone. We're on to Game 3 and it will be Bill's turn to start again as we take a look at our new categories:





1. Ice Hockey
2. Auction
3. Russia
4. Money
5. Comic Books
6. Seesaw
7. Animals
8. Faces
9. Civil War

Where would you like to start, Bill?

[billmcdee]

Ice Hockey please.

[samthebravesfan]

Ice Hockey to open up Game Three.  Here's your question:

The Montreal Canadiens have a lot of storied goalies, but one goalie whom has played for them for 15 years leads the franchise in games played, wins and saves.  He also won the Hart and Vezina trophies in the 2014-15 season.  Name him.

[billmcdee]

No  idea, so I'll just guess Smith.

[samthebravesfan]

*bzzzzt*

There were a lot of Smiths that played in the NHL, sure. But the answer is Carey Price.

We go to Matt for his first choice.

[mringgenberg]

Comic Books

[samthebravesfan]

Comic Books for your first O. It'll be a two-part question, so listen carefully.

Over his superhero career, Spider-Man defeated a lot of supervillain foes to keep New York City safe. I'll give you the real names of two of those villains and you tell me their supervillian names. First: Dr. Curt Connors. Second: Eddie Brock.


Here's your extra time.

*90 TTD think theme*

For the box, what are your answers?

[mringgenberg]

Mystereo and Venom

[samthebravesfan]

*bzzzzt, audience ooohs*

Venom is correct, but Dr. Curt Connors is The Lizard.  Tough break, but we'll start again as we shuffle.

*90 TTD shuffle chimes, 90 TTD stop dings*

Second chance, Bill, where would you like your first X?

[tmann3x]

Sam... I need your answer on Gambit otherwise your opponent wins it by default.

[billmcdee]

I'll try Animals in the center this time.

[samthebravesfan]

Animals it is.  For the box and $1,000 in the pot, here's your two-part question:

Our earth has many fast animals.  I'll describe a couple and you tell me what they are.  First: The peregrine variety of this predatory bird can dive bomb to speeds of up to 242 miles per hour.  Second: this spotted feline native to Africa can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles an hour in under three seconds.

Here's your extra time.

*90 TTD thank music*

For the box, what are your answers, Bill?

[billmcdee]

I believe the bird is a falcon.

And the other animal, the spotted feline would be the cheetah.

[samthebravesfan]

Correct!

*ding, applause*

*whooooooooosh, bong*

Now that we have our first X on the board, let's see if Matt can get his first O. Where to, Matt?

[mringgenberg]

Money

[samthebravesfan]

For the bottom left box, it's the category of Money. Here's your question:

This English coin was used from British medieval times up until 1971, when all British money was converted to a sterling pound equaling 100 pence and the old coin was abolished.  Before that, 20 of these coins equaled one pound. Name it.
