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 love this show, need better promotion. truly heart broken
I love the show, I hope it’s renewed. heart broken will not be back on
I love the show! It was poorly endorsed! It could done much better with a better thought out marketing plan!
love this show! Finally, a funny comedy that diverse people can watch.
I loved it. Please renew it!!
Please renew this show. I love it.
I love this show! Maybe it didn’t do as good because it wasn’t advertised as much as other shows. I never knew which day it came on so I would watch it OnDemand. I do honestly think that if more people knew about it then it would have done better ratings.
It’s a GREAT! show… don’t cancel it or HULU pick it up.
Keep truth be told and Undateable, great line up. Great casts, refreshing humor.
I LOVE this show, and just found out about it !! I am a faithful NBC viewer….where was the promotion for this this earlier in the fall ??? If I didn’t know about this great show, I’m sure many others didn’t either.
PLEASE GIVE THIS SHOW another chance…..
This is such a cute show. I appreciate the adult humor and the diversity of the cast. I really like the comedy and the subjects that are discussed on the show. This show should NOT be cancelled, NBC should give this show another chance and do more promoting. #NewFan #TruthBeTold #LoooveTheCast
