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.

This an unfunny comedy with a fake laugh track starring the otherwise sympathetic Mark-Paul Gosselaar.It's about 2 couples and neighbours that ...blah..blah..and blah.Gosselaar is supposed to be an ...ethics professor, so as you might expect there are some ...political correctness messages in this, in a sense like Black-ish but far worst.The dialogs are too quick and the subject often jumps from one topic to another. Add to all this the annoying fake laughs every couple of seconds and you have a total mess.Overall: I think the show is already frozen...so avoid it.

Truth be told is nothing more than a big time misfire from the star of saved by the bell and franklin bash and he is so awful in this mess as wellThe series revolves around two diverse couples, who are best friends and neighbors. They share their observations about the world around them. The show centers around Mitch, a college ethics professor who is determined to change the part of the world he lives in today. Alongside Mitch is his wife of five years, Tracy, who is also an attorney and loving mom to their five-year-old daughter, Sadie. Right next door is Mitch's best friend, Russell, a stand-up comedian and often Mitch's voice of reason, and Russell's new wife Angie, a doctor, who always keeps him in checkThe comedy is truly unfunny, not a single laugh in it, the editing is boring and the scripts are worthlessthis is one of the year's worst TV shows and i'm giving it a D+

"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.
