PDQ(1965)

PDQ is an American game show that aired in syndication from 1965 to 1969, produced by Heatter-Quigley Productions. Contestants race against the clock to guess words or phrases using the fewest letter clues possible. The faster they solve the puzzle, the better their score. Named after its original sponsor—a flavored drink mix—the show's title took on a new meaning on air: "Please Draw Quickly." PDQ was distributed by Four Star Television and reached audiences primarily through NBC-owned stations and independent markets across the country. The program exemplifies the word-game format that dominated American television during the mid-1960s.
