Before Win, Lose, or Draw was even an idea, before Pictionary could be adapted for television even the first time, WNEW (now WNYW) tried to syndicate a game show built around simple drawings for adults.
Fast Draw, however, lasted just 1 season, and never made it to the 518 that I know of.
Veteran announcer Johnny Gilbert (no relation to ye scribe), who'd emceed the occasional show in the 50's & early 60's, was given the MC's job here. Johnny's still going strong well into his 90's, as the announcer of the Jeopardy! family of series for ABC and in syndication.
This sample episode features Anita Gillette & Robert Alda.
Basically, it's a rebus puzzle, or, Concentration with pens.
No rating.
