Doobidoo

Doobidoo is a light, family-oriented Swedish music game show that started airing on SVT in 2005, with entertainment personality Lasse Kronér as host. Each episode mixes music-based quizzes, guessing games and singalong moments, often pairing contestants with celebrity guests to create a lively, participatory atmosphere. The show leans on familiar songs and crowd interaction rather than high-stakes competition, so episodes are meant to be easy to follow, upbeat and suitable for viewers of all ages. Kronér’s friendly presence keeps the pace brisk, and the format emphasizes fun, memory and the simple pleasure of hearing well-known tunes.

Created and fronted by Lasse Kronér, Doobidoo premiered on Sweden’s public broadcaster SVT in 2005. The format has been exported, spawning a Polish version called Dubidu on TVP2 hosted by Piotr Gasowski, and an Australian take titled You May Be Right, hosted by Todd McKenney.

The show’s format proved adaptable enough for international versions, which suggests the mix of music trivia and light entertainment has broad appeal. In Sweden the program became associated with weekend family viewing and celebrity singalong segments, and its name is recognizable to viewers who follow mainstream entertainment on public television.

Critical and audience reactions have been modest and generally positive for what it aims to be: easygoing family entertainment centered on music. On user-rated platforms it holds a small-sample score of 6.2/10 based on five votes, reflecting steady approval from viewers who enjoy nostalgic songs and casual competition. Reviewers typically note its relaxed tone and focus on guest chemistry rather than innovation.

Doobidoo hasn’t been prominent on the major international awards circuit, and there are no widely reported major awards or nominations tied to the original Swedish series. Its influence is better measured by its format being adapted abroad and its role in keeping music quiz programming on public-service television.
