Though the cast and crew of The Whole Truth will get to finish filming their 13 episode commitment, there’s no guarantee viewers will get to see them any time soon. Earlier this week, it was revealed that the show had been cancelled by ABC. Now, it looks like the network is pulling the legal drama from the schedule for the whole month of November.
As previously announced, next week’s episode will be preempted by the interview special In the Spotlight With Robin Roberts: All Access Nashville. The following week, the entire Wednesday night line-up is bumped for the Country Music Awards.
After that, Whole Truth is being replaced by a pair of celebrity specials. On November 17th, ABC will air 25 Years of Sexy: People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive!. The following week, Primetime: Celebrity Plastic Surgery Gone Too Far? will take the timeslot.
It’s unknown if The Whole Truth will return in December or if ABC will keep the remaining nine episodes sitting on the shelf.
What do you think? Will ABC air the rest of the The Whole Truth episodes soon, over the summer, or never?

This is total BS!! This is one of the best shows on ABC! Give it a new timeslot on a different day and it would do better I think. I mean, “Skating with the Stars”?!
My wife and I are so disappointed as we were looking forward to this each week, having it automatically taped in case we would miss it. NONE of the shows that will be on instead of The Whole Truth are of interest to us. So much for ABC!
BOO! Another good show cut prematurely by ABC…i guess it makes more room for those lovely reality tv shows they keep dreaming up…
Actually they’re replacing it with a new drama called Off The Map in January. They’re just doing those specials ’til December(when the remaining The Whole Truth episodes might air), since those will probably get higher ratings(last night’s Robin Roberts got a 1.9 vs. The Whole Truth’s series high of 1.5). So no Belle, it ultimately won’t get replaced with reality. Saying it will is a common excuse.
I AM VERY SORRY THEY CANCELLED IT. IT WAS MY FAVORITE NEW SHOW THIS SEASON. I STILL DON’T GET SOME OF THEIR DECISIONS.
I am so tired of celeb interviews and reality shows. It’s like reading yellow journalism. Taking The Whole Truth off the air is one of the reasons ABC is loosing viewers.
This was the BEST new show this season! I can’t believe it…Bad decision ABC
Please don’t cancel! Its the best show on TV….
This was my favorite show of the new season. Don’t take it off the air. Change the time slot and see if that helps its ratings. It had good writing and good stories. I like looking at a story from two different angles.
What idiots are running ABC??? “The Whole Truth” was by far one of the best new shows this season.
My wife and I thoroughly enjoy(ed) “The Whole Truth”, especially Maura Tierney. It uses a slightly different approach to a crime show; canceling it is very sad (and stupid).
The viewing public has an IQ of 4. Anything smutty or dirty lasts for ever. Intellectual shows like Numbers and the Whole Truth don’t stand a chance. Leave on the view, with all the talking heads speaking over one another and Kathy Lee and her mate screeching incessently. Keep the News programs where the commentators sound like jerks as soon as they ad lib, The Funiest Videos, Where the people have to pee, strip or perform some nasty act in order to get the audience attention or even Two and a Half Men where Charlie and Alan act like disgusting… Read more »
Pardon my French, but this is absolute Bull%$@#! ABC has made absolutely NO attempt to even save this show! Finally a show on ABC that I would actually watch and now they are taking it away. Well bye bye ABC. This is one viewer who certainly won’t be returning to watch anything on your network anymore! I consider this the final nail in the coffin of concern for quality. I’m sick of reality TV and frivolous, indulgent, mindless crap and the never-ending parade of bad actors who are only cast for their looks (ABC has a major problem with this… Read more »
Maura Tierney should be allowed to go back to Parenthood. She’s so good, she doesn’t deserve another load of bad luck.
My husband & I were very disappointed. We really enjoyed the show & would DVR it every week so we could see it.
Okay: 9/8c : The Whole Truth ….. Any night Monday thru Friday…… (keep weekends open for Football) Those of “inquiring minds” can stay up as long as they want watching Cougars and Bad Plastic Surgery…. Thank You.
