History Series / WinLoseOrDraw

The show aired in two different formats, both of which debuted on the same day in 1987 — a daytime version on Creator/{{NBC}} hosted by Vicki Lawrence, and a nighttime syndicated version hosted by Bert Convy. The daytime version was canned in 1989, and Robb Weller of ''Series/EntertainmentTonight'' took over on the syndicated version for the 1989-90 season (Convy left to host ''3rd Degree!'', which he and Reynolds also produced).

The Creator/DisneyChannel produced its own version, called ''Teen Win, Lose or Draw'' and hosted by Marc Price. This version began in April 1989, initially taping at Disney-MGM Studios in Florida before moving to LA, and outlasted the syndicated run, airing until 1992. Disney Channel revived the series as ''Disney's Win, Lose or Draw'' in early 2014 with Justin Willman as host.

A video game version was also released in 1990 by Hi-Tech Expressions for the Nintendo Entertainment System (in which it was a licensed game cartridge) as much as its board game versions. A more enhanced version is coming to the Nintendo NX game system (as a launch title), loosely based off the 2014 Disney Channel game show of the same name. A Japan-only version was released in 1995 by Banpresto for the SNES add-on BS-X Satellaview Satellite; this downloadable game remained accessible until the Satellaview service ended in 2000.

** TheAnnouncer: Gene Wood, a friend of Bert, announced the Convy version. Bob Hilton announced on the daytime show and occasionally filled in on the nighttime version; Johnny Gilbert was an occasional substitute as well. Rod Roddy announced the pilot.
*** Brandy Brown, Chase Hampton, and Tiffini Hale rotated duties on the first season of ''Teen''. Mark L. Walberg became the permanent announcer when the show moved to California in September 1990.
** GameShowHost: Bert Convy, Robb Weller, Vicki Lawrence, Marc Price, Justin Willman. Weller and Lawrence would later host unsold pilots in 1990 (Robb on a revival of ''Series/SplitSecond'' and 1993's ''Hollywood Teasers'' (an unsold revival attempt at ''Series/AllStarBlitz''), Vicki on ''Body Talk''), while Price never helmed a game show before or since. Justin Willman previously hosted ''Series/ScrabbleShowdown'' and ''[=HubWorld=]'' on Creator/DiscoveryFamily.

GameShow created in 1987 by [[Series/{{Tattletales}} Bert]] [[Series/{{Password}} Convy]] and Creator/BurtReynolds, alongside Kline & Friends and [[Creator/{{Disney}} Buena Vista Television]]. In it, two teams, each comprising two celebrities and a contestant, competed in what basically amounted to televised ''Pictionary'' (never mind that there have been two different game show versions of ''Pictionary'' proper). It consisted of three rounds wherein a team member attempted to convey a given answer (usually a person, place or thing) by drawing it. At the 30-second mark a doorbell sound effect was heard, and the team member doing the drawing could opt to pass the marker to the next person in line. A correct guess earned $200 (or $100 if the marker was passed) for the team in play; if they failed to guess, the opposing team could take a guess for $100.

* WriteWhoYouKnow: The origin of the series lay in the game nights Burt Reynolds used to hold at his house; the set was modelled after his living room.
