What happens

PDQ and Baffle are American television game shows created by Heatter-Quigley Productions. Both shows' objective was for contestant/celebrity teams to guess a given word or phrase in the shortest amount of time with the fewest letters given as possible. PDQ, syndicated by Four Star Television, aired from September 6, 1965, to September 26, 1969, primarily on NBC-owned-and-operated stations but syndicated in markets where NBC did not own a station. PDQ was named after its original sponsor, PDQ Chocolate, a flavored drink mix. The show and product shared logos, although on the show the initials stood for "Please Draw Quickly". Baffle was a revival that aired on NBC from March 26, 1973, to March 29, 1974, without a specific sponsor. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
