    Waste of a time slot. What to say? The jokes are regurgitated Internet humor. The cast dynamic is way off. Certainly nothing the family can watch together. It all appears very forced, from the dialogue to the relationships. NBC, do America a favor and cancel it.

    NBC's comedy hits continue to go missing. Score one for NBC consistency. Just sad that the failings of the network are far funnier than anything they air on television. Truth be told, these are not interesting people or worse, not the slightest bit funny. I would not invite them into my living room every Friday night or ever again,

    HAHAHAHAHA! Hold on give me a moment to recover after watching this... Alright, I'm good. This show is a joke, no I did not say that wrong. The show doesn't have jokes, it IS a joke.

    Two major flaws in this series from the onset: Canned laughter (which needs to be excised from television permanently), and both actresses. Is it important to be attractive in a sitcom? No. Is it necessary to understand the art of comedy? Yes. My advice... rewrite the show to center on the two men, possibly raising a child together (i.e. remake of My Two Dads?), and if you can'tTwo major flaws in this series from the onset: Canned laughter (which needs to be excised from television permanently), and both actresses.

    This isn't a great show, but at points it's watchable. That's a win in today's network TV sitcom landscape. Still, it's disheartening that the once proud Peacock has been reduced to this, a sitcom built on cliches and politically incorrect conversations. Ugh.

    Granted, some of the jokes are lame, but I found this show to be overall pretty enjoyable. The show breaches topics that a lot of shows stray away from(race, religion, sexuality) The best part of the way it approaches these topics is that it does it with a sense of humor yet allows different points of view to be expressed.

    Okay for some reason I seem to be in the minority on this one, but I Like it and I like the Actors on here as well. I have laughed at something in every episode. That hasn't been the case with some of the older show like Big Bang and Mom.. I hope this gets a 2nd season to grow that is the REAL problem with the Networks they don't give shows a chance to grow.

    This show is hilarious! I am constantly laughing. Two thumbs up and I hope that it gets continued. To the people putting down the jokes, piece of advice....lighten up! It's comedy!

    This show could really be more! The actors are all wonderful! The writing is the issue! Maybe hire the Wayans Brothers? That would be my suggestion,as well as give the little girl a bigger part! Again...it's not the actors,I love them all..change the writers,and bring it back with a new reboot!

    Truth Be Told is more of a "look at me, I'm not PC!" shout of self-regard.

    The first episode's reflexive need to be topical quickly feels more like running through a hot topic checklist than situations generated by actual characters.
