Pictionary

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.

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!

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.

Call me shocked!!

I only watched because I saw Melissa Peterman and Jaleel White sitting there!! They are always fun!

I have notice Jerry McConnell is cute, and there are plenty of cute guys out there!

Was I in for a surprise!? He is the host with the most! I never knew he had moves like that!

And he was so warm and funny! New respect for Jerry McConnell! I think he would really make Jeopardy fun again, which it hasn't been in a couple of decades! I look at old ones and Alex was actually nice and friendly to people. Eventually he got really serious! And it sucked, a lot! Now the male host is boring and the female one seems sweet and trying. Jerry is pro though!

I don't know that I will be able to watch the game show in the middle of the day. I would start watching Jeopardy again with McConnell hosting if he was free to bring his fun personality!

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.
