TLC, known for reality shows and docu-series, finally dipped a toe into the scripted end of the pool with Tyler Perry’s Too Close to Home TV show. It follows a woman who, after a major political scandal, retreats to the small town and family she tried to leave behind.
Too Close to Home stars Danielle Savre, Kelly Sullivan, Brock O’Hurn, Brad Benedict, and Brooke Anne Smith. Courtney Burrell, Azur-De, Nelson Estevez, Angela Rigsby, James Shanklin, KD Aubert, and Crystle Stewart recur. Heather Locklear guest stars.
The drama series just finished its second season tonight but, how long will this scripted TLC TV show last?
The first season of Too Close to Home averaged just a 0.19 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 713,000 viewers and still landed a renewal. The TLC execs were likely hoping to see some increases in season two.
Well, their gamble has paid off. Season two has averaged a 0.31 in the demo with 1.07 million viewers. While those are still pretty low ratings, they are an increase of more than 62% in the demo and more than 50% in viewership.
Based on the ratings, it seems likely that TLC will renew Too Close to Home for a third season. Hopefully, for the fans, they’ll order more than just eight episodes next time around.
But, what do you think? Are you a fan this TV show? Should Too Close to Home be cancelled or renewed for season three on TLC?
Please cancel, I find the show nauseating, the dialogue is slow, not at all, real life, (by todays standards), While the actors may be good, the script is quite horrible, The story could have been more effective (ei: the hoarding issue, the incest, the adultery, the gay and immigration issues). All could have been presented in a more intelectual way. – it seemed to be written for “true confessions ” or some trash magazines
Absolutely love the show. Last nights show was awesome.
Its a must return. Love all of Tyler Perrys shows.
Renew renew renew pretend I’m wearing ruby glass slippers….there’s no place like “Too Close To Home” ….storylines are so good. Please renew need to see what happens.
Absolutely renew!! Love this show. I really need to know what happens next.
Love this show i record the whole series like it better than haves and have not more realistic
I love this show. Please keep it. And if you’re not going to do another season, at least do a movie version to put closure to the story lines we’ve been following!
I love the show ratings maybe down because it’s not on a very watched channel. Advertise the show on other channels. I hope it returns
True because I didn’t watch TLC until yesterday and only because of Too Close to Home. I only saw it because Tyler Perry is on my Facebook and I saw a clip of that show then had to download the app and watch all of them.
Renew. Love this show.
Love this show! Eagerly wait for each rpisode. One of the best I have seen on tv in a long time. Tyler Perry is so awesomely talented. Pray they keep this on-going and with this gifted cast. Each member of the cast adds another layer to the story.
I love the show. Please keep it
Like the show, but it needs more than 8 episodes in a season or each episode should last longer than an hour. It feels like we have been stuck in 2 days over 8 weeks.
Make season 3 i love this show
More more love this show
Love the please don’t cancel the shoe. RENEW IT
Please renew!
