Hello Everyone,
I'm sorry I missed it last month, but last month, September 7, 2022, marked 35 years since the debut of the original grown-up "Win, Lose or Draw" in 2 different versions: the Daytime Network version with Vicki Lawrence as host and the Nighttime Syndicated version hosted by Bert Convy airing later that night.
The show was created by Burt Reynolds & Bert Convy (known collectively as Burt & Bert) after they discovered that their then-recently Deceased friend Fred Astaire was very shy at playing Celebrity Charades at Burt's then-current California home he shared with then-wife Loni Anderson, so they brought a Drawing Board--an Easel--so Fred could express himself that way, and voila.
Soon afterwards, Merv Griffin told Burt how much money he'd made creating "Jeopardy!", and so Burt & Bert decided jointly to turn their party-game invention into a TV Game Show, with the original set at CBS Television City in Los Angeles modeled after Burt's living room; a Disney Channel spin-off titled "Teen Win, Lose or Draw," Hosted by Marc Price, taped 65 half-hour episodes in 1989 and 1990, respectively, at The Disney-MGM Studios in Orlando, Florida, with new episodes airing from April 29, 1989 - September 26, 1992.
A more recent revival of "Teen Win, Lose or Draw," titled "Disney Win, Lose or Draw," aired from January 17, 2014 - May 21, 2014 on Disney Channel and was Hosted by Actor/Magician/Game Show Host Justin Willman, with 40 episodes Videotaped at CBS Studio Center in Los Angeles, California.
In honor of 35 years of "Win, Lose or Draw," here's a more recent YouTube upload courtesy of YouTuber Dr. RIP VHS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lw49Tb1Vw1s an episode taped off of KATU-TV in Portland, Oregon featuring Celebrity Guests Vanessa Williams, Pam Mattison, Chris Lemmon & Smokey Robinson, with Bert Convy as host & Gene Wood as announcer.
