Win, Lose or Draw - The game show WIN, LOSE OR DRAW/SYN/1987-90 pit celebrity and audience members in a challenge to draw pictures to communicate an idea (get partner to say a certain word from the drawing made on a large sketch pad). Produced by Burt Reynolds and Bert Convy the program's hosts included Bert Convy, Robb Weller and Vicki Lawrence. A similar program PICTIONARY/SYN/1997 hosted by Alan Thicke was based on the Hasbro board game of the same name. It pit teams of celebrities and guests against each other in an attempt to identify a secret word. The word could only be communicated via quickly drawn sketches and squiggles (within 60 seconds) onto a large paper surface. Other game shows with an artistic theme included CAMOUFLAGE/ABC/1961/SYN/1980 (two players tried to trace the outlines of a specific item contained in a cartoon drawing concealed by camouflaged overlays); DOTTO/NBC/1958 (two contestants tried to connect dots to a famous face by answering questions); DRAW ME A LAUGH/ABC/1949 (cartoonist Mel Casson drew a cartoon from an idea submitted by a home viewer); DRAW TO WIN/CBS/1952 (four panelist tried to identify names and objects from a cartoon sketch); DROODLES/NBC/1954 (celebrity panel attempted to identify a droodle drawn by Roger Price); PICTURE THIS/CBS/1963 (celebrity guests and studio contestants draw clues to identify a phrase); and QUICK ON THE DRAW/DUM/1952 (celebrity panelists drew pictures to help create the word of a pun).
