[tmann3x]

Michael Foy is our current champion in our last episode.  After winning his first match, he has a grand total of $51,250 in cash and merchandise.

While I'm working on a new set of categories, I'm looking for a challenger to play against Michael.  If you want to participate, please let me know and be on standby.

[koopakid17]

I'll try this again.

[nelson21]

I would like to play

[tmann3x]

Kevin you're in... and Nels, you're on standby.


Showtime will begin as soon as we get all the subjects ready.

[thunderwheeler501]

Checking in Tony!

[tmann3x]

Welcome back, Michael. Let's begin the show right now...

[tmann3x]

 

[OPENING THEME]


Bob Hilton:  From Hollywood... it's everybody's game of strategy, knowledge, and fun.  It's...

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]


And now, here's our host... Tony Lane!


[MORE CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

*host enters center stage*

Tony:  Thank you, Bob Hilton.  Hello, everybody... and welcome to Tic Tac Dough.

Once again, CBS is using our stage over at the Haven Studios for a pilot episode with Drew Barrymore.  Therfore, we're being recorded at the KTLA Studios in LA one more time.  Major kudos to Travis Griffin and Ryan Morris for their art directions of the Caldwell set.

In our previous episode, we had crowned a new champion and, already, he had won a whole lot of stuff.  Bob will introduce to us our two players.

[CONTESTANTS' INTRO]



Bob: Our current champion, who's winnings total in cash and prizes $51,250, a part-time worker from Fort Frances, Ontario, Canada. Meet MICHAEL FOY.


[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]





And his opponent is an accountant from Long Island, New York. Meet KEVIN KOLSEN.



[END OF CONTESTANTS' INTRO]

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

Tony: Guys, welcome to the show.  Kevin, we begin with you.  Please tell us about yourself.

[koopakid17]

I'm an accountant from Long Island, New York. When I'm not doing taxes, I like to read and go to the gym.

[tmann3x]

Good luck to you, Kevin.


And Michael... great to see you back. Please tell us about you for a moment.

[thunderwheeler501]

I am a part-time worker from a small town called Fort Frances in Ontario, Canada. I work on behalf of a social services organization devoted to helping people with disabilities.

[tmann3x]

Good luck to you, Michael.

Now that we've gotten to know our two contenders, let's play the game.

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

To begin this match, let's take a look at the nine categories.



[REVEALS BOARD]

We have MYTHOLOGY, NUMERO UNO, WOMEN IN SONGS, BLOCKBUSTER FILMS, POKEMON, AQUATIC BIOLOGY, MIXED WORDS (a visual category)... PLAY OR PASS is a special category where you either play on the question or pass it for an alternative... and finally WORD LITERATURE.

Michael... since you're the champion, you'll be going first.  Pick a category.

[thunderwheeler501]

Let's start with Women in Songs.

[tmann3x]

This category is worth $250 that will be added to the pot.  Your question...



WOMEN IN SONGS - $250

In 1962, Tommy Roe sang about this sweet little girl, with rosy cheeks, blue eyes and a ponytail. You'd know her if you saw her.  What is her name?

[thunderwheeler501]

Sheila.

[tmann3x]

Correct.

[APPLAUSE]

[DING]

After placing an X on the board, we have $250 in the pot.  Let's shuffle the categories.



[CATEGORIES SHUFFLE]

Kevin, it's your turn.  Select a category.

[koopakid17]

Numero Uno in the lower right, please.

[tmann3x]

Another $250 category.  Here's your question.



NUMERO UNO - $250

What song was Simon and Garfunkel's first US Billboard Hot 100 number one hit?

[koopakid17]

"Homeward Bound".

[tmann3x]

That is incorrect.  We're looking for THE SOUND OF SILENCE.

Let's shuffle the categories again.




[CATEGORIES SHUFFLE]

Michael, back to you.  Select a category.

[thunderwheeler501]

Numero Uno in the middle.

[tmann3x]

This category is worth $500.

I'm gonna give you two questions for you to answer each one.  After I finish reading the two questions, we'll give you an extra time for you to think about it.  Here are your questions.



NUMERO UNO - $500

A.  What song was the Monkees' first Billboard Hot 100 US number one hit?

B.  Were the Monkees a real or fictional band?



Here's your extra time.


[THINK CUE]


OK... let's see you answer the first question.




What song was the Monkees' first Billboard Hot 100 US number one hit?

[thunderwheeler501]

I'm a Believer.

[tmann3x]

Sorry, Michael.  The correct answer was the LAST TRAIN TO CLARKSVILLE.

As for the second question--  Were the Monkees a real or fictional band?  They were a FICTIONAL band.


Let's shuffle.



[CATEGORIES SHUFFLE]

Kevin... let's see you get an O on the board.  Select...

[koopakid17]

I'll try Mythology in the lower right, please.

[tmann3x]

Another $250 query for Kevin and this is it.  Listen...



MYTHOLOGY - $250

Norse mythology. Who is eaten by Fenrir at Ragnarok?

[koopakid17]

Really regretting that now. I'll just say Odin.

[tmann3x]

Guess what, Kevin...?

You are right.

[APPLAUSE]

[DING]


We now have $500 in pot.  Shuffle...




[CATEGORIES SHUFFLE]

Michael... pick a category.

[thunderwheeler501]

Women in Songs in the middle.

[tmann3x]

The champ is gonna try the $500 category again... this time, it's about Women in Songs.  Here are your two questions.



WOMEN IN SONGS - $500

A. Paul Anka was so young and this lady was so old, but that didn't matter to him. He begged her to "please stay by me"? What was her name?

B. This girl was just no good for Tom Jones. She deceived him, but alas, he was "lost like a slave that no man could free". "Why, why, why"? "My, my my"! What has he done to....uh what's her name again?


Here's your extra time.



[THINK CUE]



I'll repeat the first question and see if you answer it correctly.


Paul Anka was so young and this lady was so old, but that didn't matter to him. He begged her to "please stay by me"? What was her name?

[thunderwheeler501]

Diana.
