I have recently discovered that a lot of old failed TV pilots are on YouTube and "Pass the Line" is one I watched while binging on these shows that might have been.
The idea behind "Pass the Line" seems ludicrous and I cannot imagine anyone enjoying the show...which could easily explain why it never was approved by the networks. It is a game show that consists of an artist drawing a picture in 10 steps...and the panelists have to copy each other's steps in order to replicate the picture. The ONLY interesting thing about any of this is that one panelist is Jonathan Winters...but he's also amazingly under control and not the likable goofball America came to love. Overall, incredibly dull as all you are going is essentially watching folks draw!
