Picture This is a game show airing on CBS prime time during the summer of 1963.

Two teams, each of a celebrity and a civilian contestant, participate. Five picture drawings along with a time allotment in seconds, are shown to the celebrities and to the home audience. One celebrity selects a drawing for the opposing team to convey. The opposing celebrity now instructs his/her partner on how to draw and identify the drawing in the time limit presented. The instruction must not identify the features of the drawing by name, e.g.: for a rocket, the instruction could be "a vertical cigarette with an upside down "V" on top." Identifying the object correctly scores a point. If time runs out, the opposing team gets the point.

If the score is tied 2-2, the fifth object is subject to being auctioned. The celebrity captains now bid on how quick they can get their partner to identify the object based on their instructions.

Three points wins the game and $200 (the losing contestant gets $100). The celebrity of the winning team now draws up to six pictures shown to him/her and the contestant must identify them in sixty seconds. Each correct guess is worth $50.
