Pictionary

Jerry o'connell is always a win. Iv been watching his career ever since sliders and it nice it see such a great and under rated actor getting work. The show itself is absurdly p-g like having dinner with your parents but it is definitely an innocently fun time. I'm more of a video game person myself but I could definitely see people really liking this show. I would recommend anyone to checking it out if they have not seen it and are just looking up reviews. The show also features celebrity guests which is always nice when you see a celebrity you recognize. This show gets too big thumbs up from me.

There are some pretty bad game shows on TV right now. GSN has some bad ones with Blank Space, NBC's current rendition of Password, and the very boring 25 Words or Less. All shows unimaginative with poor hosts and even poorer production standards.

But this? This takes the cake. Poorly produced and very poorly hosted. Prizes are absolutely worthless. D-List celebrities are frequent guests, as they have nothing else better to do than be on this show.

What I can't understand for the life of me is how this show has been renewed for a third season. I guess FOX has run out of ideas for their daytime programming and are relying on cheap shows like this to fill time.

As a lover of game shows, I consider this the worst game show on TV. It is not because of host Jerry O'Connell's silly dances. Neither is it due to its low-budget approach to production and prizes.

The big problem is that O'Connell violates a basic tenet of all competition shows: he influences play. Maybe you have noticed that he often makes comments, like "this is a tough one". As contestants draw the clues, he frequently says "it's all there" or "you did a good job"-all of which can be clues to the guessers. Or if someone uses a specific color, he might indicate that it's a wise choice. These might seem like subtle or meaningless comments, but you would never hear Alex Trebek comment that a final jeopardy clue was obscure. Pat Sajak would never say that someone made a good choice in guessing a particular letter.

Frankly, I am surprised that they allow him to get away with his imprudent remarks. Avid game players are scrupulous about fairness, and the producers and broadcasters who are responsible for content must be well aware of the line that separates fair play from behaviors that can lead to major fines.

First of all this show needs to be canceled... It is not fun to watch especially Jerry O'Connell dancing around like a clown... I've never seen a show give so little to anyone.. the team who loses get a copy of the pictionary game as Jerry says how cool is that!! Are you kidding me?

And the team on the final round barely get anything.. if Lucky they may get $1,000 or $2,000 or win a trip with the money if they get all 3 right.. if they don't get the trip or money they only go home with really nothing at all except a copy of the pictionary game! How uncool is that.. and it's weird how he makes some of the celebrities wearing a cool outfit walk up and down the catwalk strutting their clothing.. I hope this show gets replaced.

I can't stand O'Connell in this show! He's so awkward, but not it a quirky good way at all. His small talk with celebrity guests and contestants is agonizing to witness. The absolute worst is when they cut to commercial and Jerry dances.. it is legitimately like a bad, SNL sketch. That being said, I actually like the game Pictionary. I feel like the show could be done infinitely better. The only working parts are the Pictionary fundamentals; the drawing and the guessing. This show needs a host with energy, contestants that seem to care and celebrity guests that are relevant. Those three simple things will create a Primetime hit.
