This evening, we say goodbye to Sam and Eddie from the Take Two TV show. While the alphabet network hasn’t cancelled the summer TV show, it does seem highly unlikely that they’ll renew it for a second season. What do you think?
An ABC crime comedy-drama from Castle creators Terri Edda Miller and Andrew W. Marlowe, Take Two stars Rachel Bilson, Eddie Cibrian, Xavier de Guzman, Aliyah O’Brien, Alice Lee, and Jordan Gavaris. The story centers on actress Sam Swift (Bilson), who, after an epic, viral breakdown has to rehab her image and rebuild her career. She asks to shadow lone-wolf private investigator, Eddie Valetik (Cibrian), who resents the gig, but soon finds her acting experience comes in handy on the job.
The Take Two series debuted in June and got off to a poor start, attracting a 0.50 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 3.36 million viewers. The ratings dropped lower during the course of the season and perked up occasionally.
To be fair, the series was pre-empted a few times over the course of the season which surely didn’t help things. Take Two also had to sometimes contend with football game pre-emptions and delays in some markets. Those didn’t help the ratings but the show just didn’t attract much of an audience right from the start.
There were some boosts in delayed viewing but, delayed viewing doesn’t typically generate commercial revenue for a network. It seems unlikely that ABC will renew Take Two for a second season but, because it’s a summer show, there’s a chance they may decide to revamp the program a bit and give it another try in 2019.
What do you think? Do you like the Take Two TV show? Would you like to see it be renewed for a second season or, do you think it should be cancelled?
Castle will always be an amazing show. And I was happy to see that there’s not much particularities among both of the shows. The finale was really well written and I hope to see what’s gonna happen to Eddie’s crew.
Love this show. It was so cute. So much better then most of the ABC shows.
I really enjoyed Take two and would really like for ABC to renew the show for a season 2. Promote the show a little more please.
Although Castle was a better show, this is a close second. It would be unfortunate if it got cancelled by ABC because they never gave it a chance in the first place.
Please bring Take Two back for another season. I love this show!! This is definitely a keeper. ABC, I think you have a sleeper hit here. Given a chance I think it could be at the top of the ratings with the right day and time slot.
Well written with quality acting . Hope it doesn’t go the way of Scorpion. I agree with Misty-give it some pub!
I really liked this show and I hope they decide to renew. I think the summer is hard but this is why I loved it so much, there is so little to watch in the summer. I hope they give it another shot, maybe advertise more or play start it during the spring or midseason.
It was an enjoyable show but I suspected that it might get cancelled.
However, we fans are left with a cliff hanger that deserves closure and I would watch another season.
Love the show, please renew!
Please don’t cancel! My hubby and I love this show.
I live this show!! Don’t cancel it. They cancelled Deception without giving it a second season and I was really upset. They leave crap on the air and take off good family quality shows. Still upset about Deception!!
I feel the same about Deception!! Let’s hope they keep this one.
I agree with Deception!
Renew this show!!! Please!!!
The show is great. They got together much quicker than Castle, really giving the show the added layer it needed. Now with the cliff hanger finale it HAS to be renewed. Funny how the networks only look at initial ratings, alot of us DVR these shows and watch later. Doesnt this mean the commercials are being seen twice? Keep this show alive, there is a great chemistry between these two, a second season will lead to a third if they allow it!!!
I love this show! ABC did NOT promote this show well. I can’t tell you how many people I’ve nd tiondf it to. They had no clue it was on. Please give it another year and promote the heck out of it. It’s good. It’s very good.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SHOW!! I AM A BIG WATCHER OF ALOT OF TV AND THE PROBLEM IS YALL HAVE TO LET PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THEM! STOP CANCELLING AFTER ONE SEASON & PUT IT ON AT A REASONABLE TIME & GIVE IT SOME PRESS IT IS A WINNER!
