Here's an unsold pilot that Paul Winchell did in the sixties for a kids' game show called Quick on the Draw. I've seen it listed as 1962, 1963 and 1964, and beyond that, your guess is as good as mine.
I think Paul did about nine hundred pilots for kids' game shows and one or two of them — like Runaround in 1972 — even sold. You can kind of tell why Quick on the Draw didn't make it. The contestants don't even look like they want to be there and the only good moments come from Winchell doing his old bits with Jerry Mahoney. The show was directed by Gilbert Cates, who directed about half of all TV shows done in the sixties.
One interesting thing (to me) about this is the part where Paul, as he occasionally did, is supplying the voice while someone else is operating Jerry. A lot of it seems to be ad-lib and whoever's working Jerry is darn good to keep up…but as a devout Winchell fan, I could always tell when someone else was at the controls. Paul had a certain way of shaking a dummy's head when it was "talking" to add a little extra animation to the figure and also to distract from the fact that the lip sync could never be too precise. His assistants learned it too but no one did it quite like Winch.
The two parts of this run a little over 22 minutes and the second cuts off before the show ends. I doubt you'll make it all the way through but you might enjoy the Paul/Jerry opening chat, which was one of Paul's oft-performed routines. That cuff link gag was the close to the first joke I ever learned. If you do want to watch both parts, I've made up a little YouTube playlist so you can go right from one to the other.
