Sketch Show: 'Draw Something' Becoming Game Show?

Network Exec 1: What's big right now?
Network Exec 2: My daughter said something about a Pictionary ripoff on her iPhone.

Because 'Win, Lose or Draw' and 'Pictionary' haven't already existed as game shows (they have) and original ideas are officially dead, the network execs at CBS have ordered a pilot based on 'Draw Something', which apparently people are still playing. I...gave it a week. Then everything turned to penises and that was that.

A description from CBS lays out the basic setup for the show: "Each week, teams of celebrities and everyday users will test their skills in front of a studio audience to earn money and big laughs. Viewers can also play along at home for a chance to win prizes and compete with the celebrities."

Wow, it almost sounds too good to be true. Celebrities, drawing, money and big laughs? HOLY SHIT SOMEBODY COME SET MY VCR TO RECORD.

Thanks to Danny, who agree the only good games are The Price Is Right and Jeopardy -- no arguing.
