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.

Pictionary is a fun interactive show that keeps me entertained through the lunch hour. I love the playing along by guessing the drawing done by the normal public. The drawings are amateur, as they should be, and the guests are eager and enjoyable.

Jerry O'Connell is great for the show! He is more silly then funny but it is a game show, not a dramatic movie. He leads the show along quickly and upbeat.

The set is comfortable and relaxing in a livingroom setting.

I love to play along and keeps me captivated until shows end.

I will continue watching. Different from the regular game shows as you feel as if you are part of the fun and not just a part of the audience. Being closer to the action draws you in. It's a more natural, down to earth production as well.

Great game show for everyone!

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.

Our family LOVES Pictionary, playing after Sunday & holiday dinners. When the kids found it on TV, they recorded it rather than watching live bcoz Jerry O'Connell disturbs them so much, they FF thru his antics. We asked specifically what disturbed them. They said watch. Our family listed so many things, we fear they won't fit. #1 is his dancing, #2 his invasive touchyfeely practice with contestants, especially when they're trying to draw, #3 his idiotic attempts at humor, #4 his leading/misleading comments like GREAT JOB,PERFECT or IT'S ALL THERE b4 a single line is drawn. Producers need to pay attention to guests' & contestants' reactions, the looks exchanged & efforts to be polite.
