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?

HAS ABC LOST IT’S MIND??? This was one of the best new shows to come out in a while, and they didn’t even give it a chance!!! I told several people about the layout of the show.. they had never even heard of it but they really liked the idea, and wanted to check it out… but it’s gone! Ridiculous!!! BRING IT BACK AND GIVE IT A CHANCE!!!
Who makes these decisions. Fun and well acted series. Rob Morrow was “slick” and Maura Tierney was so good at being “good”. Loved her independence and love of her job. No she was not “HOT”, but how many legal professionals go into the court room with their boobs hanging (ex CSI and Law and Order). As you watched the show you wondered which side was going to out do the other….. so many turns. ABC don’t let us down.
Shame on ABC for canceling this show so quickly. It is original and attention-grabbing. I love both Maura Tierney and Rob Morrow. They are very talented actors and the show has the benefit of a unique structure — showing how each side of the case develops. The surprise twists at the end of each show were what really got me hooked. Bring it back, ABC! Enough already with the brainless reality shows.
I am so upset to find out “The Whole Truth” has been canceled. I love the flashbacks that show how each side of the argument prepares its case. I love both Maura Tierney and Rob Morrow, and have since the days of “ER” and “Northern Exposure.” I also love the way TWT puts a little twist at the end of each show. I always look forward to the final scene! I was just describing the show to a friend and telling her how good it is. Bah, humbug on ABC. They should be ashamed of themselves for not giving TWT… Read more »
I am so disappointed that the show The Whole Truth is cancelled. It was so well written and loved the actors. I have been waiting a long time for a good show on ABC. Too bad it was so short lived. Why was it cancelled??
My husband and I both looked forward the The Whole Truth. It is one of the best shows of the season. How disappointing to have such a great show cancelled. With so many positive reviews on this show, who are you listening to? We are so tired of the so-called reality show and the who’s the sexiest so and so. Please reconsider your decision.
Sincerely,
a fan of The Whole Truth
Like really, first they take FlashForward off and now Thw Whole Truth. This is a bunch of crap. If I wanted to know about the stuff they are putting on in place of these shows I could just look it up online. Now i guess I have to find a new show to watch.. Unless you put these back on.
i loved numb3rs also, it was only on for a short time, eleventh hour was a great show to, you really had to think, it wasn’t just stupid so called reality tv, they should bring the good shows back and get rid of some “reality” tv .
the whole truth is a great show! why do they cancel the good shows just bring in junk like reality tv, i think there is enough of those shows dont you?
show was well done and original good thoughtful entertainment unlike the various CSI shows which have turned to Gore Glitz and REALLY DUMB story lines…these no longer get space on my dvr
They cancelled numb3rs for a show that didn’t make it a full season. THERE’S the real tragedy.
The Whole Truth was smart and the format was excellent! Bring it back in another time slot.
This is one of the brightest new TV shows this season. I found that I very quickly invested emotionally in the characters. Rob Morrow is great, as always. Maura Tierney is very effective in her role. The format and the dialog are extremely good. This is the third very good show that I really liked that was cancelled this season. If there is a 13 week commitment to shooting this production, I think that the show should go back on the air. Give it a chance to catch on. Also, change the time slot. Against two other shows that feature… Read more »
Sure, why bother to keep shows that make you think when you can just film another mindless “reality” useless piece of crud. The question was “when do you think it will air the remaining episodes”…I think probably never, because the networks don’t bother to listen to the consumer any more.
I am so dissapointed that The Whole Truth is being cancelled. How maddening that this fantastic show with a great storyline and incredible cast would be replaced with shows about sexy people and plastic surgery! Finally a show with some real thought to it and it gets cancelled. Absolutely shocking.
