Variety reports that CBS is in development with Ryan Seacrest and Embassy Row to bring the mobile game Draw Something to TV. No host, airdate, etc. yet. Article says Seacrest won't host. Something tells me that despite the obvious similarity in concept to Win, Lose Or Draw, Vicki Lawrence won't be hosting either. Deets:

It will only be authentic if words repeat in the same show. Or "buy a color".

Nothing in the show that woooooooos me.

Well stick around and it may show....

Farmville could be adapted to TV. Answer questions, get money to buy cows, etc. Biggest farm wins.

And then when it tanks, in a last-ditch effort to save the show, "Celebrity Farmville". They'll trot out the Hatfields and McCoys again...

Well, of course it looks like WLoD and Pictionary. It *is*. But hey, why not? And the second-screen aspect is not uninteresting, especially if they find a way to do it live and interactive.
What I find interesting about DS (the game, not the proposed TV show) is that I keep forgetting that the game isn't timed; there's no bonus for speed. It's not Draw Something Quickly--and that's why there are all those spectacular drawings floating around. I wonder how (if at all) they'll take advantage of that aspect.

I'm guessing they won't, unless they use pre-made drawings as toss-ups or something. Always tickled me, because when I was playing DS (and what's REALLY funny is that I was Over It about the same time that a) Zynga paid out the ass for Omgpop and b) the official Kindle Fire version finally shipped (I had been playing the sideloaded version along with every other Fire owner on the planet)) I was the king of Getting The Point Across Using Only Crappy Stick Figures, because that's really the extent of my freehand drawing ability. :)

At least you tried to play.....I went full-tilt cheat and drew words as clues...

Yeah, you're the reason I refused to even bother trying to play with random people.

Turn it into a panel game, or a comedy quiz hybrid that England seems to go bonkers over.
/One of my life's goals is figuring out how to turn Would I Lie To You? into a decent party game.

Considering I can't draw much more than stick figures and that's what I turned to, the game got old real fast. So did "Words With Friends". I played that one straight, but then you have people who cheat at it...

Neither can I. Part of the fun was in figuring out creative ways to make that work anyhow. Basically we all got sick of repeating words around the same time.

Perhaps they could solicit drawings from home viewers/users for the show? Sort of like Trivial Pursuit: America Plays.

A lesson I unfortunately haven't learned as I have just gotten into Draw Something.
Admittedly I can't draw Nirvana or Tina Fey either, but still...
(I did draw Ozzy though.)

This was easy, depending on how tasteless you are willing to be to get coins. :)

I WTF'd then Lol'd.
Had to write out "Harry potter school" for Hogwarts though.

Stick figure with a wizard hat being handed a paper from another stick figure with an "A+" on it. Done.

Well, maybe next time.
Here's one for you- if I draw a stop sign, what would you think the solution would be?

It depends on how many letters it says it is and which twelve letters I'm given to work with. That's the point.

Alright, it's seven letters. And at least three of the letters in "catpoon" are in the solution.

Well, that's seven of the twelve, then. Let me know when you decide you want to share the other five.

I was thinking OCTAGON.
/Wait, was I not supposed to say anything?

That's kind of what I was going for Chris to say instead of what he did...I thought if I draw a half-assed octagon and wrote "STOP" in the middle, the person would get it. Instead I got answers like "catpoon" and "oatgoon"- I guess it was a stumper.
/I would tell the cat to keep its poon to itself
//I wasn't being THAT cryptic...
///BTW, broke a string of 10 in a row...kinda didn't like that but hey

I've had that word come up, and I drew exactly what you described. Interesting.

And I don't think you got the point I was trying to send across, which is that being a shiatty artist works in DS...because your guesser has all of that information sitting right in front of them to work from. DS is as much of a game of anagrams as it is of communication.
So to say "well, guess what I drew", without giving me all of the information I would have in front of me in a real game situation? I'm simply not gonna bother guessing.
I thought if I draw a half-assed octagon and wrote "STOP" in the middle, the person would get it.
Honestly I'm not sure why you didn't just draw an (full-assed; c'mon, it's a basic geometric shape, and you do have an eraser) octagon.
(If you really want to make it clear, you draw a triangle, then a red X next to it. Then a square, same thing. Then you draw the octagon and stick a green check-mark next to it. But, really, with the letters there? Draw an octagon, black pencil line, ship it. (Plus it avoids the weenie clue with the writing in the sign.) If your partner can't get that, find a smarter partner.)

And boy, did that work out. The trouble with home viewer elements is they're so uninteresting for the millions of home viewers who aren't the one chosen.
