We wondered if Game Show Network would attempt to revive another classic game show, as they did previously with The Newlywed Game and Catch 21, the latter a Merrill Heatter entry modeled after his 1970's hit, Gambit.
Well, we got our answer with the return of Tic Tac Dough one week ago. Brooke Burns (ex-The Chase) is the host, but she wasn't the 1st choice of GSN or NBC-Universal, which now holds the rights to the franchise. Initially, Tom Bergeron (ex-Hollywood Squares, Dancing With The Stars, America's Funniest Home Videos) had taped a pilot, but someone with either network decided to go with Burns.
Let's check out a sample episode.
It just happened to be an eerie coincidence that the series returned right before the passing of its most famous MC, Wink Martindale.
Rating: A.
