Wink Martindale wasn't on a Goodson/Todman game show that much. I remember that he & his wife guest starred on "Tattle Tales" with host Bert Convy circa 1976 & also appeared on a special "Game Show Host Week" of the original "Card Sharks" with host Jim Perry circa 1980. The latter of which featured some of Martindale's fellow hosts such as "Password Plus" host Allen Ludden & "Blockbusters" host Bill Cullen all playing the card game for their favorite charities.
To make a long story short, Game Show Network is owned by SONY. Those classic episodes of "Tic Tac Dough" which aired Sunday afternoon were originally executive produced & co-created by legendary game show producers Jack Barry & Dan Enright. The Barry & Enright library is now distributed by SONY, which is Game Show Network's parent company.
There's also the issue of whether the original master tapes remain intact to this day and can still air to this day. It was standard operating procedure not to preserve certain master tapes when it came to game shows.
I'm just the messenger...
