CBS has acquired the TV rights to a "Draw Something" game show pilot that could bring the Pictionary-esque Zynga social app to TV, the network announced Friday. Ryan Seacrest will serve as executive producer of the project.

The network described the premise of the game show as a competitive drawing challenge that encourages audience participation. ?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.?

"Draw Something" represents the CBS' second attempt to turn a viral web phenomenon into TV programming. The network adapted Justin Halpern's grouchy-dad-inspired Twitter feed "$#*! My Dad Says" into a sitcom starring William Shatner in 2010, but the show only lasted one season before it was canceled.

Something like 20--25 years ago, we had a show here in Qu?bec, "Fais moi un dessin" (translate to "do me a drawing"), which participant had a word they had to represent with drawings, and their team had to guess what the word was. Check on youtube.

Looks to be pretty much the same thing.

Wow, that's a great new idea. Never been done before.

Oh wait...That series is over 10 yrs old

It'll only be decent this time if they actually have members of the public playing as well on their own devices or on a website. If it's just stuck in the studio it'll last one season.

      The auto industry really needs to update it's terminology so a software update isn't called a recall.

      Anybody that thinks flying cars were possible are idiots. Everyone would basically need a pilot licence, can you imagine how insane and dangerous that would be, people can barely handle driving on land safely right now.
