** The show starts with an interrupted game. That day's returning champion refuses to pick the square that would have resulted in victory not once but twice. Jay doesn't even try to talk him out of either selection.

* ConsolationPrize: From the second season of the Martindale/Caldwell version through the end of the run, any challenger who had at least one tie in a match against the champion (in a losing effort) would earn a consolation prize of $250 per tie achieved in that match (one of the great Thom [=McKee=]'s challengers, Pete Cooper, achieved four of these, and earned $1000 for his efforts in a 1980 match). This was not in existence in the first season (1978-79), so if you were unlucky enough to be on then, you had to win the match against the champion and be the new champion, or you would get nothing else but parting gifts, no matter how far you got against the champion.

Creator/{{NBC}} knowledge-based GameShow from Creator/JackBarry and Dan Enright which was based on the children's game of TabletopGame/TicTacToe. Two contestants placed their X's and O's on a game board with nine categories, which were shuffled by a mechanical device after every turn. Each correct question would add money to a pot; whoever managed to get three-in-a-row won the match and the pot.

** The 1978-86 syndicated run didn't originally have a winnings cap, which became an issue when WCBS-TV 2, the Creator/{{CBS}}-owned flagship station in UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity, picked up the syndicated rights due to carrying a show without a winnings cap being in [[https://www.newspapers.com/clip/60962311/ask-bob-mr-t-kids-new-superhero/ violation of network policy]]; resulting in CBS convincing Barry-Enright to add a winnings cap to the series.

Under this rule, any excess winnings would be donated to a charity of the champion's choice.
