The Rules of the Game
On this popular game show, two teams, each composed of two celebrity guests and one contestant, competed in a game of "sketch pad charades". The object of the game was to get one's partners to guess the correct names or phrases from the drawings made on a sketch pad.
To begin a player went up to the easel and had sixty seconds to draw pictures which would help his or her teammates guess the subject. Correct guesses earned money for the team. If they couldn't come up with the right answer their opponents got a chance to guess.
In the final speed round, each team had ninety seconds to convey as many words as possible. The player with the most money after three rounds became the winner.
The set, designed by John C. Mula, was modeled after Burt Reynolds living room.
