Disney Plus Request: "Teen Win, Lose or Draw" (Disney Channel Original Game Show)

[stevearino]

Dear Mr. Paull,

I have a Request for Disney Plus: to upload the Complete Series Library of the Disney Channel Original Game Show "Teen Win, Lose or Draw," showcasing all 65 half-hour episodes of the '80s Disney Channel Original Game Show "Teen Win, Lose or Draw" 100% Complete, 100% Uncut, AND 100% Unedited, just the way that they originally aired on The Disney Channel Television Network.

I doubt you're familiar with it, Michael, but in case you aren't, here's the Inside Information from an Avid fan who watched the show as a 7-year-old boy.

Created by Jay Wolpert, "Teen Win, Lose or Draw" originally aired on Disney Channel from April 29, 1989 - September 26, 1992, with all 65 half-hour episodes Videotaped entirely at The Disney-MGM Studios in Orlando, Florida.

Hosted by Marc Price, each episode had 2 teams (each composed of a Teen Celebrity Guest and 2 Teen Contestants per show) compete in a Boys vs. Girls game where the Object was to get their teammates to say words, names & phrases by drawing, with the team with the most points at game's end winning a Prize Package e.g. a trip to Palm Springs, California, while the runners-up won a Cheaper Prize Package e.g. Nintendo NES Video Games.

Each game began with a Clue Puzzle Round where the teams had 60 seconds to guess a series of Clues leading up to a famous subject e.g. Kirk Cameron.

This was followed by a Phrase Round, where the teams had 60 seconds or less to Communicate a Phrase (e.g. "Pinocchio") from a Particular Category e.g. "Disney Movies"; as with the original "Win, Lose or Draw" (which this show spun off from), each game ended with a 90-Second Speed Round to determine the respective Prize Package winners, and occasionally, depending on time at the end of each taping, an Audience Round was played where a selected Audience member drew a word for the teams of their choice to earn $25 Disney Dollars in Season 1 and "Win, Lose or Draw Junior" in Season 2.

After Jay Wolpert stepped down as showrunner, he was succeeded for Season 2 by the duo of Scott Stone & David Stanley; simultaneously, a trio of Disney Channel Mouseketeers who pulled double duty as announced on Season 1 of "Teen Win, Lose or Draw" were replaced solely by Mark Walberg.

Season 1 episodes of "Teen Win, Lose or Draw" were taped, respectively, in March 1989 & May 1989, consisting of 39 half-hour episodes which subsequently were telecast twice weekly on weekends, respectively on Saturday nights at 6:30 P.M. ET & Sunday mornings at 11:30 A.M. ET.

Season 2 episodes of "Teen Win, Lose or Draw" were taped in Summer 1990, consisting of 26 half-hour episodes which subsequently were telecast once weekly only with new episodes on Saturday Mornings only on Disney Channel.

"Teen Win, Lose or Draw" was produced by Jay Wolpert Enterprises (Season 1) and Stone Stanley Productions (Season 2) for Walt Disney Television.
