You're In The Picture was unarguably the shortest-lived most ill-fated game show of all time, airing only one telecast on CBS prime time.

Four celebrity panelists were situated behind a picture frame on which there was a drawing of people and/or things. There were four holes cut out for the panelists to place their heads so they could see out. Host Jackie Gleason gives a clue, then each panelist asked questions in order to suss out what the picture was.

The week after this telecast, Jackie Gleason appeared on an empty stage, save for an easy chair, and spent the half-hour apologizing to America for You're In The Picture.
