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?
Please renew.. this is very refreshing funny and entertaining. I caught this on demand. Cast has great chemistry. Please reconsider
Plz renew.. I just caught this sitcom on demand and LOVED it.. it was funny and entertaining. Plz reconsider
Great and funny show! AMAZING CAST!! Would like to see it continue!
Sorry for the typos in previous comment! I also do agree with others that there was no advertising. I discovered it on Rogers On Demand.
Please renew. Great casts and I love the diersity focus, especially the Filipino culture we I have never seen on tv before. Please renew!
Please renew. I love this show. Never miss one episode.
This is a great show but it was never promoted properly. If you want great ratings then you have to promote the show in different ways. People are more into the internet now then ever before so put it on netflix, hulu, vudu, etc will help. Plus putting something on google will help like a media ad.
My girlfriend and i never miss an episode of this show. Please, renew.
Renew renew renew. My wife and i never miss a new episode. It touches on topics that are in everyones lives.
Please please renew Truth Be Told. I feel as if the network display the show more, people would watch it. No one knows about the show. I believe Truth Be Told is a really good show that touches on race, religion, politics, body parts and even ex partners are discussed openly. We need more tv shows like this.
Please renew Truth Be Told and place it on a night where it may stand a chance of succeeding. NBC should also spend a little more on marketing. No one knew the show was even on the air.
I just discovered this show through Hulu and I love it! I am so sorry it’s cancelled. Maybe the writers/producers should take it to Youtube or keep it on Hulu and I would pay for a season. I hate when the few shows I actually love get axed. I feel like such an outlier.
I loved truth be told please bring it back if nbc promoted it better it will have the ratings it’s so funny!!
We LOVED Truth Be Told…. PLEASE bring it back…..:)
I didn’t even know this show was on air until I went to On Demand and I love it! It definitely should have had better promotion! Please bring it back!
