SnoopyStyle Mitch (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) lives a regular suburban life with his Filipino wife Tracy (Vanessa Lachey) and their young daughter Sadie. The married neighbors Russell (Tone Bell) and Angie (Bresha Webb) are their best friends.This is a really uneven sitcom. The pilot is flat and unfunny. The show struggles to find the comedy. The four leads' chemistry takes several episodes to establish. Gosselaar has been doing this for a long time. Lachey is not a particularly funny performer. Bell and Webb are good. Episode 7 is probably where the chemistry is solidified as the pairings get switched. The fourth episode 'Psychic Chicken' is hilarious and the first truly good episode from this show. It continues to be uneven and is unlikely to survive having its order cut down to 10 episodes.

Trey B Within the first five minutes of the pilot it's apparent that this series is a goner. Writers are clearly trying to seem cutting edge but end up digging a hole. Jokes (if you want to call them that) are few and far between, but the laughs are expected - awkward. The biggest flop of NBC history, and that's saying something. NBC needs to get it together in the comedy spectrum and stop producing shows based off strictly money deals and relationships. It hasn't worked for years now. Get the funny people in, and the washed up deals out. This show is a hodgepodge of an attempt to remain relevant. Which is pretty ridiculous, considering the out of touch casting choices. I'll be waiting for a good comedy to come through like the old NBC shows. It's only up from here!

atlasmb "Truth Be Told" is a comedy series that centers on the lives of two married couples who are neighbors. One is a black couple and the other is a white guy and his so-called "ethnically ambiguous" wife. Although the show makes some observations about racial situations, that does not seem to be the focus of the show in the first two episodes. And when race is the topic, it is not so much a discussion as a lecture by the black friend who is given authority in that area.The main topic is about gender and navigating marriage from the perspective of men vs. women. This theme is all about trust. Should women trust men (because men are probably untrustworthy)? Knowing that women distrust them, how should the men behave (because wives have insecurities and lay traps for husbands)? What is the best way for a wife to steer her husband's behavior where she wants it to go without him realizing she is driving?To some degree, there is a war of manipulation. This could be a rich topic for humor, but the humor in "Truth Be Told" is fairly predictable and flat.In discussions that involve both couples, I notice that the two men usually talk to each other and the two women usually discuss matters without the men. Compare this to some other comedies that are classics: In "Seinfeld", Elaine is like one of the guys and the men talk with her in the same way and as much as they talk with each other. In "Frasier", Roz and Daphne are integrated into the ensemble, not a separate gender entity. And in "Friends", the six friends may have their "gal pals" and "best buddies", but the six continuously interact in every possible combination and love equally beyond gender lines."Truth Be Told" is a lukewarm offering at best. Personally, I prefer "Bad Judge", which also included Tone Bell in its cast.

dscaulfield Not funny at all. Awful Not entertaining and could not finish watching the first episode it was that bad. Poor acting and hard to understand some of the words due to rapid speech. Vote NO on this show. Not funny Understood the point of old married couple explaining to newer couple and giving them advice their experience. Didn't work! Please come up with something better. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. The chemistry was not there. Seemed forced and so fake. Not natural. Poor acting. Resting this was not funny at all. Truly not entertaining. Fake forced bad. Just didn't go over as natural and things seemed very fake just like forcing it not natural and bad acting. Nothing good to say about it. Sorry
