What happens

Pictionary is an American children's game show based on the picture-drawing board game of the same name. This was the first of three game shows based on the board game, with later editions for adults launched in 1997 and 2022. The show was hosted by Brian Robbins, with assistance from Julie Friedman as "Felicity", and Rick Zumwalt as "Judge Mental". Pictionary ran from June 5, 1989, until September 8, 1989, in syndication and was a joint production of Barry & Enright Productions and QMI Television. The program was distributed by MCA Television.
