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?


Love this show, it is fun and entertaining. Please renew for a second season.
Great Show!!! please renew
Take Two is the first show to come on television in a really really long time that has captivated me. I love it! Please renew for another season. And a tip: advertise more!!
Absolutely love Take Two
Yesss! ABC has a terrible habit of canceling shows much too early, before they’ve had a chance to get a good foothold in the target market. It seems to me Take Two would gain more viewers as time goes because it has had such an interrupted time slot/sports delays, etc, also ANY SUMMER ONLY show will get much lower ratings anyway because people are much more active and are away often.
Please RENEW THIS SHOW ABC. It has heart, action and humor.
It’s fun and keeps me entertained. Please renew!
I loved the show and so hope to see a second season!
Thanks for allowing me to say that I hope you renew Take Two for a second season.
Please renew Take Two for a second season I love the show and will be very mad at ABC to not she it on the schedule next season!
Please renew Take Two for a second season. I have really enjoyed this show. I love it! I have looked forward to watching it every week. The chemistry between Sam and Eddie makes this show fun to watch and that is something that is missing from so many shows. Please don’t leave us with the cliff hanger on the last show of season 1. Do the right thing and renew this show so we can find out what happens next. Not all shows are a big hit on the first season but end up after a second season become a… Read more »
I stopped watching ABC because they cancel to many good shows without giving them a chance, or good advertising. I was flipping through channels one night and came across Take Two. I immediately fell for the show, thought it was funny, whitty, and suspenseful. Little did I know it was episode 7. I went to HuLu to watch the season from the beginning and loved it! A P.I show is genius and different from the other choices on TV. The problem again….the show doesn’t start until 10pm, that’s a mistake. This show would hit the charts if it was a… Read more »
I am very upset tat the Season Finale of TAKE TWO was PREEMPTED Last Night because of the Hurricane. There is No mention of ABC replaying this IMPORTANT Finale! Honestly, this is the ONLY Show I watch on ABC. They basically have all Reality shows that aren’t close to being Realistic. However, TAKE TWO IS FRESH! Eddie Cibrian may have finally found a costar, as well as a well written script to prove he has skills! I really enjoy this show and hope ABC renews this for many seasons ahead. Meanwhile, PLEASE Rerun the Season 1 Finale. We Hurricane victims… Read more »
Yes, please renew. The show really got super good as time went. I love the show
Take Two was PREEMPTED Again! Last night was the SEASON 1 FINALE, but ABC decided to COVER HURRICANE FLORENCE, Which was being covered EXTENSIVELY By the WEATHER CHANNEL!
I REALLY hope You will RERUN TAKE TWO for EVERYONE in North and SOUTH CAROLINA. I imagine GEORGIA AND VIRGINIA also…
Take Two is awesome! It just kept getting better and better through the season. It would be a shame to cancel it!
