Pictionary

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!

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.

I thought long about the rating for Pictionary and tried to be kind. This show is painful to watch and is immature thanks to Jerry O'Connell's silliness. He is just too goofy and his little dancing is embarrassing. Big deal is made about the "celebrities" (forgotten faces) and their antics are just as bad. Win Loose or Draw from the 80s was good. This show is beyond terrible; nothing but immature foolishness.

This is a shame. The format could have been presented in a much more enjoyable mature manner making it entertaining. As it stands it has no redeeming features. Time to put this one to rest.

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.

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.
