J. Nash and executive produced by D. J. Nash and Will Packer[2] for Universal Television. The NBC series debuted on October 16, 2015.[3] It was revealed on December 10, 2015 that NBC had "quietly cancelled" Truth Be Told, as the sets had been struck and lead actor Tone Bell had been cast in another series.[4] The final two episodes were burned off on December 25, 2015. SynopsisThe 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 check. The show is loosely based on the life of creator and executive producer D. J. Nash.[5] Cast and charactersMain cast

The website's critics' consensus reads: "Truth Be Told wants to be topically edgy, but only sends viewers on a bland descent into a world of unfunny and grating sitcom characters."[15] Episodes{{Episode table |background=#FF5F5F |overall= |title= |director= |writer= |airdate= |viewers= |prodcode= |country=US |episodes={{Episode list|EpisodeNumber = 1 |Title = Pilot |DirectedBy = Pamela Fryman |WrittenBy = D.
