Game Show created in 1987 by BertConvy and Burt Reynolds, alongside Kline &Friends and Buena Vista Television. In it, two teams, each comprising two celebrities and a contestant, competed in what basically amounted to televised Pictionary (never mind that there have been two different game show versions of Pictionary proper). It consisted of three rounds wherein a team member attempted to convey a given answer (usually a person, place or thing) by drawing it. At the 30-second mark a doorbell sound effect was heard, and the team member doing the drawing could opt to pass the marker to the next person in line. A correct guess earned $200 (or $100 if the marker was passed) for the team in play; if they failed to guess, the opposing team could take a guess for $100.

Both contestants competed in a Bonus Round called the 'Speed Round'. Here, both contestants attempt to draw as many one-word answers as possible within 90 seconds, earning $100 for every correct guess from their teammates but allowing only two passed answers. Whoever had more money at the end of this round won the game and $1000 (split for a tie). Later it was dropped to a minute and $50/word.

The show aired in two different formats, both of which debuted on the same day in 1987 — a daytime version on NBC hosted by Vicki Lawrence, and a nighttime syndicated version hosted by Bert Convy. The daytime version was canned in 1989, and Robb Weller of Entertainment Tonight took over on the syndicated version for the 1989-90 season (Convy left to host 3rd Degree!, which he, Reynolds and Kline also produced, but with Warner Bros. Television instead of Disney).

The Disney Channel produced its own version, called Teen Win, Lose or Draw and hosted by Marc Price. This version began in April 1989, initially taping at Disney-MGM Studios in Florida before moving to LA, and outlasted the syndicated run, airing until 1992. Kline & Friends weren't involved with this version—instead, Jay Wolpert produced season 1, with Stone-StanleyProductions taking over thereafter. Disney Channel revived the series as Disney's Win, Lose or Draw in early 2014 with Justin Willman as host.

A video game version was also released in 1990 by Hi-Tech Expressions for the NES, and Milton Bradley also released a box game adaptation. A Japan-only version was released in 1995 by Banpresto for the SNES add-on BS-X Satellaview Satellite; this downloadable game remained accessible until the Satellaview service ended in 2000.

Game Show Tropes in use:

• Bonus Round: Debuted toward the end of the daytime version: The winner had 90 seconds to draw as many one-word answers as possible. The first word was worth $50, then doubling with each successive answer; there was no limit to the winnings. The syndicated version's last season adapted this format (along with a 10-day returning champion format), but limited it to seven words, with the seventh bumping the money from $1,600 to $5,000.
  • Also played straight in the 2014 revival with only one team in play.
• Personnel:
  • The Announcer: Gene Wood, a friend of Bert, announced the Convy version. BobHilton announced on the daytime show and occasionally filled in on the nighttime version; JohnnyGilbert was an occasional substitute as well. RodRoddy announced the pilot.
    • Brandy Brown, Chase Hampton, and Tiffini Hale rotated duties on the first season of Teen. Mark L.Wahlberg became the permanent announcer when the show moved to California in September 1990.
  • Game Show Host: BertConvy, Robb Weller, Vicki Lawrence, Marc Price, and Justin Willman. Weller and Lawrence would later host unsold pilots in 1990 (Robb on a revival of Split Second and 1993's Hollywood Teasers (an unsold revival attempt at All-Star Blitz), Vicki on Body Talk), while Price never helmed a game show before or since. Justin Willman previously hosted Scrabble Showdown and HubWorld on Discovery Family.

This show provides examples of:

• Aloha, Hawaii!: A week of the syndicated version was played on an outdoor stage in the 50th state, with A-list celebrities Burt Reynolds, Jim Nabors, Carol Burnett, and Loni Anderson. Instead of the doorbell, a shell horn was blown to signal the switch-off point.
• Ascended Extra: Marc Price was a celebrity partner on the Convy version before becoming the host of Teen Win, Lose or Draw.
• Celebrity Edition: The 2014 Disney Channel revival featured current Disney Channel stars participating with regular contestants in every episode.
• Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Markers of various colors were provided to help players with answers to convey such as 'Jolly Green Giant' and 'Devil with the Blue Dress On'.
• Corpsing: Bob Hilton had a tendency to laugh at the caricatures, and the celebrities' and Bert's/Vicki's reactions to the same. This also happened a lot on road shows if something went amiss during the intro.
• Distaff Counterpart: Vicki Lawrence in daytime, Bert Convy (later Robb Weller) in syndication.
• Freudian Slip: On one episode, Bob Hilton accidentally introduced Bert Convy as 'Bert Lawrence'.
• Game-Breaking Bug: An unusual trope for a live-action game show - there seemed to be a lot of miscommunication between the judges in terms of what exactly is allowed and whether or not the contestants are able to guess the word in time.
• Opening Narration: Convy's version used the following: 'Welcome to the quick draw game that everyone can play! It's Win, Lose, or Draw! Come on in and join our host, Bert Convy! With Bert's guests..(announcer lists off each celebrity partner, as a caricature of each is revealed on the sketch pad)..And one more time, Bert Convy! (caricature of Bert is revealed)'
  • The teen version is used in the following: 'You know why all these kids are in Marc Price's driveway? They're about to play America's favorite quick draw game! So grab your mother's lawn chair and drag it on over! It's time for Teen Win, Lose, or Draw! And now let's meet today's special guests! (insert celebrities' names) CELEB #2: And now here's the host of Teen Win, Lose or Draw, Marc Price!'
• Pilot: The syndicated version had a pilot taped on November 2, 1986, with Bert Convy as host, Rod Roddy announcing, and the celebrity guests being Loni Anderson and Betty White vs. Tony Danza and Burt Reynolds. It aired as a special sneak preview episode.
• Playing Pictionary: The entire premise.
• Punny Name: Pretty obvious.
• Rearrange the Song: The Weller version used a mellower remix of the theme, at least for the first few weeks.
  • The Hawaiian episodes featured a version of the theme as Don Ho might have played it.
  • The Teen run had a sort-of electric guitar version.
• Shout-Out: One episode of the Weller version had his caricature drawing consist of him being Covered in Gunge by Marc Summers.
• Transatlantic Equivalent: It was exported to Britain in The '90s.

Win, Lose or Draw is an American televisiongame show that aired from 1987 to 1990 in syndication and on NBC. It was taped at CBS Television City (one of the few non-CBS game shows to tape there), often in Studios 31, 33, and 43 at various times.^[3] It was co-produced by Burt & Bert Productions (headed by Burt Reynolds and Bert Convy, the original host of the syndicated version) and Kline & Friends for Disney's Buena Vista Television. It has also had two versions on The Disney Channel: Teen Win, Lose or Draw from 1989 to 1992, and a revived version known as Disney's Win, Lose or Draw which aired in 2014.

The set for the original Win, Lose or Draw was modeled after Burt Reynolds' living room.^[1]

Broadcast history[edit]

A pilot with Bert Convy as host was taped on November 2, 1986 at CBS Television City in Hollywood, California, and featured Loni Anderson, Betty White, Burt Reynolds, and Tony Danza playing the game, with Rod Roddy announcing.^[4] The pilot, produced by Reynolds and Convy, garnered the interest of both the NBC network and various local stations nationwide; thus, two separate editions of the program were sold and produced with production beginning in June 1987.

On September 7, 1987, Win, Lose or Draw was launched with Kline and Friends joining Burt & Bert Productions as a second production company.^[5]Vicki Lawrence hosted the edition produced for NBC, which aired as part of the network's daytime lineup. The syndicated edition, premiering that same day, was hosted by Bert Convy.^[1]Bob Hilton announced for the daytime series, with Gene Wood performing those duties for the syndicated series, while Hilton occasionally filled in on the latter version, and Johnny Gilbert and Dean Goss did so on the daytime show.^[1]

Lawrence, with the exception of a month in 1988 when Sally Struthers hosted in her place, hosted the daytime Win, Lose or Draw until its 1989 cancellation. The syndicated series aired until 1990, with the third and final season hosted by Robb Weller after Convy opted to host a new production for his company, 3rd Degree.^[1]

Win Lose Or Draw Instructions

Reruns of the syndicated version aired on the USA Network from January 1, 1991 to December 24, 1992,^[1] and on Game Show Network from April 15, 2002 to March 14, 2004.

During its run, the syndicated Win, Lose or Draw made several road trips including Hawaii, Central Park in New York City, Burt Reynolds' ranch in Jupiter, Florida and Walt Disney World.

Gameplay[edit]

Two teams, men versus women, each composed of two celebrities and one contestant, took turns guessing a phrase, title or thing that one teammate was drawing on a large pad of paper with markers; each team sat on a couch on a set designed after Burt Reynolds' actual living room at the time. The team member doing the drawing could not speak about the subject in his or her drawing and could not use letters, numbers, or symbols. If one of these illegal clues was used, any money won in that puzzle was split between the two teams. However, if a non-drawing team member mentioned a word that was part of the answer, their teammate at the sketch pad was then allowed to write it down.

In the first three rounds, each team had one minute to solve a puzzle, earning $200 for a correct guess. At the thirty-second mark, a doorbell sounded, and the drawing player had the option of handing the marker off to one of his/her teammates, but the puzzle value would then be cut in half. If the team did not guess within the time limit, the opposing team was given one chance to confer and guess. If they gave the correct answer, they were awarded the money; if not, no money was awarded. By 1989, the first round was later changed to have the drawing contestant sketch a series of clues to a puzzle, one clue at a time. If the team guessed the puzzle from the identified clues, they scored $200.

Following round three, one player for each team was nominated to draw clues in a 90-second speed round. The topics for drawing were simpler for this round compared to those in previous rounds. Each correct guess was worth $100, and the team could only pass twice. The speed round started with the team that was ahead. The team with the most money at the end of the game won, and the contestant on the winning team received $1,000 in addition to the money they had already earned. If both teams were tied at the end of the speed round, each contestant earned $500. By the end of the daytime version's run, the speed round was decreased to 60-seconds and $50 a word.

Bonus Round[edit]

The daytime series underwent another significant change towards the end of its run, which was eliminating the $1,000 bonus and instead replacing it with a bonus round, which the series had not seen in either iteration to this point. This change coincided with another change added at the same time that involved two contestants and a celebrity on each team.

The bonus round was played similar to the speed round, except that players were allowed to pass multiple times. The first word was worth $50 and each correct answer that followed doubled the bank. Passing resulted in the bank resetting to zero.

Originally, the bonus was played with as many words as possible within the time limit. Under this format a team was able to win $25,600 in one round, guessing ten words without a miss. Afterwards, the scoring format was adjusted; this time, if the winning team correctly identified seven words within the time limit, regardless of how many passes were used, they won $5,000.

Audience game[edit]

If there was extra time at the end of the show, an audience member would be called on stage and given the opportunity to sketch a subject for either the men's or women's team to guess in 60 seconds, much like the main rounds, with $100 awarded if the chosen team was able to identify the subject.

1989–1990 changes[edit]

The third and last season of the syndicated Win, Lose or Draw saw a significant format overhaul itself, as the front game was altered, and both the shortened speed round and bonus round were added.

The object of the first two rounds was the same. However, the drawing team was not allowed to switch partners at any point. A guess could not be made until twenty-five of the sixty seconds had elapsed, and if the team guessed the puzzle before thirty seconds had elapsed the civilian contestant won $200. If not, the puzzle was played for $100. A successful steal by the opposing team was only worth $50.

If the game ended in a tie, a tie-breaker was played with the last team to play the speed round going first. The player at the board was given the choice of two words and began drawing, trying to convey the word as fast as he/she could. Once the word was guessed, the opposing team had to guess their word in a faster time. Doing so won the game; if not, the first team won the game.

At this point, the show began to use returning champions, who stayed on for ten days or until defeated, whichever came first.

Disney Channel versions[edit]

Teen Win, Lose or Draw[edit]

From April 29, 1989 to April 28, 1990, and again from September 10, 1990 to September 26, 1992, Disney Channel aired a version called Teen Win, Lose or Draw. This version was hosted by Marc Price for its entire run. Jay Wolpert produced the first season, which taped at the Disney-MGM Studios in Orlando, with Stone-Stanley Productions taking over for the rest of the run, at which time production also moved to the CBS Studio Center in Los Angeles. Rotating as announcers during the first season were Brandy Brown, Chase Hampton and Tiffini Hale, with Mark L. Walberg taking over that duty for the final two seasons. Teams were made up of two teenage contestants (one each of two boys and two girls), and a teenage celebrity. Gameplay was largely identical to the original run,^[2] with the following differences:

• Round 1 – The Clue Round: A player from each team draw as many words within 60 seconds. Each of the words was a clue to a puzzle – a person, place, thing, event, etc. The team in control had the first chance to answer; if they were unable to give the correct answer, the opposing team could guess to win the points.
• Round 2 – The Phrase Round: The team is given a category, with the phrase based in that category. As in the original, the clue-giver could hand off to a teammate after 30 seconds.
• Round 3 – The Speed Round: Played identically to the adult version, with the trailing team going first (or the team that went first in round one playing first if the score was tied). A grand prize was given to the winning team, with the losing team getting a consolation gift.
• If the score was tied following the Speed Round, each team would play another speed round with 20 seconds on the clock. The team that got more in the 20 seconds won. If the tie persisted after this overtime round, each team would try to guess one word as fast as possible (with a maximum of 60 seconds), and the team that was faster won.

Disney's Win, Lose or Draw[edit]

Win Lose Or Draw Words

In April 2013, the Disney Channel announced a new version of Win, Lose or Draw, to be hosted by Justin Willman, which premiered on January 17, 2014. As with Teen Win, Lose or Draw, the two teams on each program are made up of two young contestants plus a teenage celebrity (this time, from a Disney Channel or Disney XD program). New motion-control technology is featured.^[6]

Win Lose Or Draw Game

The 2014 version featured the following rounds (all 90 seconds):

• Get a Clue – For each word, Willman announces a clue, leading to the answer, with additional clues provided every 10 seconds. Each correct answer is worth 10 points, with team members alternating after each word is either guessed or passed.
• Draw-obstacle Course – The clue givers endured a variety of challenges while drawing, such as using an oversized stylus, drawing on a spinning touch-screen board, the current drawing disappearing if the clue giver lifts his/her finger, or drawing while standing on a vibrating stool. The challenges rotated from episode to episode, and three were presented per round. As before, correct answers were worth 10 points.
• Fill in the Blank – Adapted from the original final round, Willman read a pun-styled clue with a blank, with the clue-giver drawing the word that filled in the blank. As in all previous versions, the team that was trailing went first (or the team that went first in round one going first if the score was tied), and clues were worth 20 points, with as many clues played as possible within the time limit.

Passing at any time on a word ended play on that word.

The team in the lead after three rounds advanced to the 90-second bonus round. Both celebrities were clue-givers, and drew one- and two-word phrases, much like the original version. As in the Draw-stacle Course round, clue-givers might have to draw clues using a wand-type stylus while having his/her back turned to the board, draw while on a revolving chair and drawings moving from screen to screen at certain intervals (this changed from episode to episode). Contestants could pass at any time on a word, but could not score on it, even if they later came up with the correct answer. Each word or phrase guessed correctly won a gift package (each concealing a prize, where said item was awarded to both contestants), and a grand prize was awarded for guessing all four clues correctly.

If the game ended in a tie, host Willman drew one picture himself; as soon as a team was able to identify the subject, they had to buzz-in. A right answer won the game, but a wrong answer gave the opponents the win.

Home versions[edit]

Board game[edit]

Milton Bradley Company created its version in 1987. It could be played like the TV show, or a variation of the game with pawns and a game board. Party, Junior, and Travel Junior editions were produced, plus a Refill Pack for the game. All contestants who appeared on the show received a copy of the Party edition, as did select audience members.

Computer and video games[edit]

Hi Tech Expressions released two editions of the DOS version of the game in 1988, as well as a 'Junior' version, followed by a version for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1989. Both versions of this party game featured a scene set in a living room, with the game contestants (representing real-life players) seated on opposite couches, much like the television show. While the game system drew a picture on the screen, one of the players would have a limited amount (60 seconds for the main game, and 90 for the speed round) of time to type in the word or phrase represented by the image. If the player typed in the incorrect answer, a player on the opposing team would have an opportunity to type the correct answer (in single-player games, the game system would type a random incorrect answer). The team that typed the correct answer would win money for that round, and the team that earned the most money at the end of the game won.

A 'plug-and-play' console version was released by Senario in 2005; unlike the earlier computer and console adaptations, this one allowed players to actually draw the subjects, using an electronic pen, for their teammates to guess.

Other versions[edit]
