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?
This was one if the only shows outside of sports that my husband would watch with me. We enjoyed it a lot. We liked all the characters and twists in the story. Why would they cancel it? Should give it at least one more season please.
I Love Take Two!!! Please do not cancel it……every time I get into a show it seems to get cancel’d……
I just watched all 13 episodes over the past few weeks. I really enjoyed watching this show and hope that it will start season 2 asap. The end of 13 leaves the show hanging with Eddie being arrested. Please start season 2. Bilson played in Hart of Dixie and it was a good show with only one season. I very much want to see Take Two with more episodes. You can’t just leave us hanging as to what happens with Eddie being arrested. Thank you
I absolutely love take two!!! I loved every episode and I can’t imagine it being over. Please don’t cancel it!!!
Please do not cancel the show. My wife and I watch every episode!
I hope they renew. Very enjoyable and I loved the cast. So sick of “reality” shows.
Take Two is a Great Show!!! It’s been a nice surprise to actually look forward to watching Primetime again. Keep the show!!!
Renew it! Lots of great twists and turns in the plot…and a great cliffhanger in episode 13. I watched entirely from my iPad so not sure how that figures in the ratings!
Finally a show that I actually looked forward to watching. The storylines were good without there being an outlandish amount of blood or objects blowing up. Too many shows do not have a storyline. This one did, and it is being cancelled for that reason. What happened to “writers,” can they not write a story without blowing up with world or shoving a dead body in our face every 15 minutes? How about ABC promoting the show?
I enjoyed the show. It did remind me of Castle (which makes sense the same person who created Castle that created this.) 🙂 it was a fun show with characters that were enjoyable to watch week after week. It would be nice if those in charge of the network allowed the show to have a consistent date and time so viewers could catch on! Please renew the show!
I love this show. It would be great if you gave them a better day when it doesn’t have to compete with damn football and other sports. I love the story lines and the chemistry between Eddie and Rachael. Please give it another chance.
Season two please! A consistent day and time would be helpful.
I hope it’s not cancelled. I mean those dimples are to die for. I loved Sam in Hart of Dixie. Please have a season 2!
Love this show. It’s light and funny. We need more good shows like this on tv.
It didn’t attract a good audience, because ABC never promoted it!
Give it another chance and put it on a day and time that doesn’t get preempted by football. I think given the chance, Take Two will get a bigger following.
