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 LOVED THE SHOW !!!!We know Eddie didn’t kill the assassin.
It’s not fair to cancel a show without giving it an opportunity to gain a following. The episodes have gotten progressively better, and we fans care about the characters. That took time on the old shows even like MASH and many other classics. They started slowly, then built up over time–and so did Castle!!!! Give it a chance–please!!!
What a fun and smart show!! We would hate to see ABC not give this series a real chance to develop. My wife and I have not missed an episode and friends we have referred the show to also love it.
I loved the show! Great characters and humor mixed into the whodunnit theme. Bring it back!
Both my husband and I are big fans of Take Two. Such great chemistry between all the characters, which we haven’t found in a show since Castle. We also look forward to trying to figure out who “really did it”. Please please please don’t leave us hanging…give us a season 2. Thank you.
Please ,please do not cancel Take Two! It’s such a fun show!
Bring it back a fun enjoyable hour of tv.
I looked at the Take Two summary ratings and the show’s rating were fairly consistent in the 18-49 demo. The blip at first appears to be the ratings for 8/30, but when I clicked that date and looked at the ratings for the evening of 8/30, the ratings for Take Two appear to be higher than what is reflected on the summary ratings for the show. Overall, it appears to be a consistent performer worthy of renewal.
ABC channel you already cancelled Designated Survivor, please do not even think about cancelling Take Two. I will be crushed if you do, please renew second season of Take Two.
Agree!
Please renew. My husband and I both enjoy this show!
PLEASE RENEW FOR SECOND SEASON!!!
I would really love to see a second season of Take Two
It was an enjoyable show to watch. ABC always seem to cancel summer fill ins that are good to watch. please keep this show
I strongly agree. It is a very enjoyable show, I sometimes wonder about the intelligence of the people who decide to renew/cancel . Do they even watch the series or have no clue as to what the users want to see ?
Take 2 should definitely be renewed for a second season. I found it very entertaining – good plots and interesting characters. And it is not right to end a series on a cliffhanger – end a season on a cliffhanger, yes, end a series, no. Some series have done this latter -“Deception” comes to mind. Not fair to viewers. Ending a series is always best if it is planned ahead of time and plots can be wrapped up. Of course, it doesn’t always work that way.
YES, YES, BRING IT BACK, ITS FUNNY AND THEY MAKE A GREAT PAIR. I LOVE IT!! PLEASE KEEP IT.
Please keep “Take Two” around for a second season. It is very refreshing to have a show that has good plots each episode and keeps the light-hearted side for the whole family to enjoy watching together. Eddie Cibrian and Rachel Bilson have great chemistry, making the show exciting and so much fun to watch!
