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?
Absolutely adore this show. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a promo for it, ever. I saw it on the nbc.com website and thought what show is this. It looks interesting. I started watching from the pilot episode and have watched every show over 2 days. I know the decision to cancel the show has been made, but with just a little more promo, you can have a mega hit.
I love that show. The problem was that is wasn’t advertised enough. If it wasn’t for Wendy Williams having Mark on the show I wouldn’t have known about the show.
Bring it back! It is a good show!
I loved this show it needs to be advertised more I didn’t catch it until the end of the season but watched all the episodes off ondemand
Bring back Truth be Told! What a great show!! My new favorite and I find out it’s been cancelled already!
Could’ve advertised more! Finally a show that’s not into draining blood and NBC cuts it.
Twas a funtastic show!! Should’ve let it run and given it a chance. I just binged watched all episodes and then did it again!
just caught up on this show ondemand. this shoe was great! The cast was amazing and brought a different dynamic to network TV. I wish NBC put some real advertising behind this so this show had a chance of survival. Bring t back! If not, I hope Will Packard gets another shot to bring his voice to TV.
Sad to know the show has been cancelled! It was so cute! Renew it! I want to see what happens!!
This was an excellent show. It was unique with a good cast, good humor, and good scripts. BRING IT BACK!!!
Another great show cancelled? This show is really funny and casted really well. I never saw any advertiment for it…I found it on Hulu and love it—my friends and I watched it together. Changing the day and time would bring higher ratings if you brought back the show for season 2.
I love this show, I was awaiting it’s return. I am so dissappointed that it has be cancelled. I hope you all reconsider, please bring on season 2.
I loved the show…it had me laughing out loud. My only hope in Friday night TV. Please bring it back.
The show was really great I really enjoyed the show that was my enjoyable Fridays waited 8:00 for the show to come back on I mean I understand you have bump a show but could you have changed the day or something I think second season could of been great I am not really show person but this show I really did enjoy maybe NBC should not make new shows or any other should not get new tv shows their eventually going to cancel why not watch reruns or something kills me that their make shows from 10 years ago… Read more »
Please renew i just watched all 10 episodes back to back and it left me wanting more…i think you are making a terrible mistake in my honest opinion
