[edit] Criticism

The show has been heavily criticised for its obvious similarities to the ABC's Spicks and Specks.

Diary has not heard a good word about Sunday night's premiere of You May be Right on Seven. Hosted by Todd McKenney, the panel show looked cheap and was not a patch on the ABC's Spicks and Specks on which it was based. On ABC radio in Sydney callers were outraged that Seven had pinched the show from Aunty. ^[1]

[edit] Production problems

Seven bosses ordered a major overhaul, including new sets and lighting, after the first show was plagued by embarrassing production. It took over four hours to tape the first one-hour show, due to various technical problems, faulty buzzers, over-running segments, and host Todd McKenney's repeated flubbing of his teleprompted lines. Ten episodes had been planned for the show's first season, but insiders are already predicting the show's early cancellation, after declining ratings in only its second week on air.
