A couple weeks ago, NBC cut the episode order for their low-rated sitcom Truth Be Told. The network declined to say that the series had been cancelled but we now have a further indication that the show is indeed over.
Truth Be Told revolves around two diverse couples who are best friends and neighbors. Seemingly no topic is off limits for the group. Race, religion, politics, body parts and even ex partners are discussed openly. The stars of the series are Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Tone Bell, Vanessa Lachey, and Bresha Webb.
When NBC ordered the series earlier this year, it was titled People Are Talking. The network later renamed the comedy but few were talking about it when it premiered. The sitcom debuted to a meager 0.74 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 2.58 million viewers.
The second episode drew a 0.58 in the demo with 2.24 million. Week three saw a bump up in the demo but the ratings were still terrible and the show was doomed. NBC cut the first season order to just 10 episodes.
Truth Be Told had been scheduled to be in production until later this month. Thanks to the shortened episode order, the cast and crew called it quits last week and the set was officially struck.
Though the network isn’t saying it, it’s clear that this sitcom won’t be coming back. With such poor ratings, its possible that the network will pull Truth be Told from the schedule before all 10 episodes have aired.
What do you think? Do you like the Truth be Told sitcom? Should NBC air the remaining episodes or pull it early? Do you think ikt should be cancelled or saved?

I found the shoe by luck. It’s hilarious. They should renew it and give it a chance…but they need to market it better. I think it could really be a hit.

And all that seems to stay on tv are reality shows, don’t get me wrong I do watch some of them but it’s nice to have a real show in tv with real actors I love this show and the cast, especially the last episode when they announced at the wedding that their having a baby.
I like this show, I think it’s really funny!! I don’t know how the television channels decide what to cancel cause they are always cancelling good shows and keeping the stupid a** reality shows. I hope they at least finish showing the rest of the season. I’d say a lot of people hate to start watching a show until it’s been on 3 or 4 weeks because they don’t want to start liking the show then it gets cancelled, which seems to be what usually happens. I think most shows should at least get a full season before it’s decided… Read more »
I really liked this show I don’t thick it was advertised much and Friday evening is a tuff spot it needed to go on another weeknight. Will miss the show,
I love this show Truth Be Told. I think it is funny and a great family show. They should not cancel this show at all and renew this show and air the remaining 10 episodes. So please keep this show on tv. I love the actor Mark Paul Gosselear that is from Saved By The Bell on the show who played Zack Morris. Please continue this show on tv and please don’t cancel this show at all and please renew the show. I’m watching a new episode of the show tonight too. Cause it’s so funny.
Laugh track….. It had potential, and whether it’s a live audience or not, I can’t take the laffing. I don’t need anyone telling me what’s funny and what’s not funny. On the same note, I’m really starting to resent these crime dramas with the deep, thumping background noise to tell me that it’s dangerous to go into the building, or look out behind you, you might be killed or hurt. What a bunch of BS!
Music is meant to create atmosphere. Calm down.
SHAME ON NBC! Show was funny, cast was good and the writing funny! Never gave it a chance and again cut them off at the knees! When people hear episodes are cut and threats of cancellation they lose interest in the shows! Which only speeds up they process! NBC is not the only network guilty of this they all are!
Actually this show isn’t as bad as it is perceived.
Was perceived….FTFY
