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 is Remington Steele for the 2000’s! Fun and smart, with some nice plot continuances. Hope it comes back for another season.
Enjoyed Take Two!. Would like to see it renewed. However, after watching the finale it seems ABC does not want to do so., even with the Eddie being framed for murder cliffhanger. They rushed the relationship between the lead characters Sam and Eddie, making it awkward for them, as well as the viewer. Not only will the writers have to deal with getting Eddie out of jail, they will have to somehow FIX the chemistry. Perhaps Sam should ride off into the sunset to make her movie and NOT return…then the premise of the show is gone. (Sigh)
My husband and I really like this show. It’s a fun, entertaining show that isn’t needlessly graphic when showing a victim Sorry I don’t need to see bits of brains on the pavement or an open chest cavity during an autopsy. This show is light for the most part and that’s what I want to watch. I want to be entertained and this show does it. Please renew it!
It an entertaining show. Please keep it going.
ABC would be very foolish to cancel take two. It is entertaining without squeezing your brain tight with annoying scenes. This show is the type of show that people can watch for pure entertainment. It’s like Moonlighting was, entertaining. It’s like Castle was, entertaining.
I guess if ABC cancels this show I’ll be forced to watch Netflix because the other channels have made the same mistakes in canceling entertaining show.
YES YES YES I love this show!
Love the show keep it going.
Please renew this show, it’s great.
Please renew this show. Look forward to it every week. Great cast.
