TV show description:
This couples comedy revolves around two diverse couples who are best friends and neighbors. It is loosely based on the life of series creator DJ Nash.
Mitch (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) is a college ethics professor who’s obsessively trying to change the world around him for the better.
He’s a white man with a Filipino wife and an African American best friend and he’ll challenge anybody for being politically incorrect. However, it’s often Mitch’s own assumptions that get him into trouble. Mitch’s wife is Tracy (Vanessa Lachey), a feared lawyer by day but a loving mom to their daughter Sadie by night.
Mitch’s best friend and voice of reason is Russell (Tone Bell). He lives next door and works as a stand up comic. Russell has few inhibitions which can lead to dramatic public scenes when he’s trying to make a point. His new wife is Angie (Bresha Webb) and she needs to work hard to keep him in check. Strong and spirited, she is more than his match.
Seemingly no topic is off limits for the group. Race, religion, politics, body parts and even ex partners are discussed openly.
Episode #10 — The Wedding
When Mitch is asked to officiate the wedding of friends Derek (guest Terrence Jenkins) and Charlene (guest Letoya Luckett), Russell is sent into a tailspin because he was the one who introduced the couple.
When a piece of juicy gossip threatens to break-off the wedding, Tracy sees her first child-free weekend away at risk of being derailed by Mitch’s obsession with running the perfect event.
Meanwhile, as Russell maneuvers to get a bigger role in the wedding, he finds out that his wife Angie thinks he already hogged up too much of the spotlight at their own wedding.
First aired: December 25, 2015.
What do you think? Do you like the Truth Be Told TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season?
The cast was awesome the show was great pls bring back.
TOO slow. Vanessa Lachey is poor actress too.
My wife & I were sore from laughing so much. One of the best (and diverse!) comedy casts.
This show is awesome I laugh constantly. Great cast Great show. Without being disrespectful they address todays issues. Im so disappointed. Who makes these decisions anyway!!! What can we do to bring this show back?
This is a fantastic show. I’m hoping another network will pick it up.
A big mistake cancelling this show, what great chemistry they all had together and this show was very funny, I have watched Mark Paul Gosselaar going back to the saved by the bell days and he was funny then and funny still. I looked forward to this show every friday night.
I looked forward to friday nights watching truth be told. Do you want the truth to be told I think that the show being cancelled was a big mistake. It was a very good show and very funny. What a bad decision to cancel this show
Truth be Told is a hilarious show to watch on Friday nights. Besides watching Grimm, it’s the only show I want to watch.
Absolutely love show and way show dealt with contemporary issues. Hopefully another network will pick up show.
This should is funny and should not be cancelled
It needs a different time slot & a new night! KEEP IT!
This show is so good and funny it should not be cancelled please keep it on.
Thus show started slow but really grew on me. The characters have real chemistry as an ensemble and it would be a real shame if we don’t have the opportunity to see their relationships develop and flourish.
I am a fan of this show. I like the way they tackle issues that slot of people want to discuss but don’t know how. The cast is great. Mark-Paul is a really good actor. Tone creates a great balance and chemistry. I agree with another comment about changing the day. Friday night’s are not good for TV. Please bring this show back!
This is a very wholesome funny show. They tackle real life issues but always have a twist in how they handle it. The bond between friends is endearing as well as extremely hilarious. I definitely feel like this show should not be cancelled
