The following is a list of episodes for the Australian comedy music quiz show Spicks and Specks which began airing on 2 February 2005 on the ABC. It was first hosted by Adam Hills, with Myf Warhurst and Alan Brough as team captains. Hills, Warhurst, and Brough had agreed upon a "one in, all in" plan, and grew tired of the format, so the show ended in 2011. The next year, it was announced that Spicks and Specks would be returning with a fresh set of presenters: comedian Josh Earl as the host, and musician Ella Hooper and comedian Adam Richard as the team captains. This revival was dropped during its first season due to low ratings. In 2018, a reunion special with the original hosts was so popular that it ensured the commission of more specials, and, eventually, the return of the show in its original series format.
The first eight series comprised 26–43 episodes each. Upon its 2021 relaunch, the series transitioned to ten 50-minute episodes, while series 11 reverted to fourteen 30-minute episodes.
