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?
Renew this!! It was a good show. A copycat of Castle so no surprise it is from the same creators but the characters are good, the actors are good and the show is very entertaining. Please renew this.
Please please please renew!!! I only just started watching but this is another awesome show and I love Rachel as an actress. I love the feelings I get with the show – the chemistry seems real and I am falling in love with these characters
Renew
RENEW! We were only able to watch a few episodes, because it seemed to be gone almost as quickly as it started. My husband & I both loved it. It was fun, the stars have great chemistry and you don’t have to “think” while watching — just enjoy and be entertained.
PLEASE RENEW!!! My husband and I LOVE the show. We were great big fans of Castle and were excited when we saw that same producers were going to come out with a new show. It reminds us a lot of Castle. They are BOTH great shows!
I LOVE this show!!! If ABC cancels ANOTHER great show for another game show or reality show, it will be very disappointing. Give this show another year and THEN go from there.
I like Take Two. It’s entertaining and the co-stars seem to have great chemistry.
We love this show. Please renew
I really liked Take Two. It was fun, light and easy summer viewing. It’s also nice to have something that is not a reality show and just a nice viewing, relaxation pleasure!
I loved Take Two, actors were great.
Please renew Take Two. I love the show and the two actors.
Maybe they shouldnt have cancelled Castle and paid “Becket” what she deserved ABD we wouldnt b hooked on a cute romantic/drama/crime proceedural AGAIN waiting for the other shoe to drop
Please renew, Take Two. You can’t end it, the way it was. It is a really good show. Give it a chance.
