For me, the most significant failure of this is the lack of a twist on the original they cloned.
If there was anywhere they had improved on the original, or otherwise made it their own, they would've gotten away with it. Now they just look like they lack individuality, imagination and creativity which for a media organisation is surely less than ideal.
