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?
I love this show. It’s the perfect cross between a who done it mystery, and a light hearted romance! I love how Bilson is taking on something darker and having excellent genuine moments. Cibrian is tall, dark, and out to impress with that compassionate burdened character charm. Keep it up!
Please! Please! Please! Renew this show! It is fun and serious at the same time! The chemistry between the actors is great! It seems like every time I like a show lately, it gets canceled. This is the first show that I have watched regularly in a long time. Please air it during the regular season so it has a chance. It’s hard to judge a show that is on during the summer when everyone is on vacation. Thank you for your consideration.
This show is great!! I really hope they don’t cancel it!!
Please bring back Take Two for a second season!!! It’s great!! Excellent cliffhanger! Don’t leave us hanging!
Take Two was the best show running at night this summer. It need to have a second season.
RENEW!! It is a breath of fresh air!!
ABC finally got a great show. I sure hope they bring it back!!! What a cliffhanger to leave us on. I wish I had known about the show sooner.
We would love to see ‘Take Two’ renewed! We watched all the shows and thought for sure it would be renewed!
Please renew Take Two. My husband and I faithfully watched every episode. Networks aren’t doing shows any favors by introducing them, then pre-empting them. I know that I don’t fall into the age group that networks value, but networks should take short attention spans into their calculations. Most of the millennials, from my experience, want what they want NOW and, if they can’t have it, they walk away. Hmmm, now that I think of it, it sort of mirrors network attitudes, I guess. If they don’t immediately get the high viewership, they cancel the show. C’mon, guys, wake up! Ever… Read more »
