Truth Be Told (2015)
3/10
Hilarious But Raunchy - Bummer
17 October 2015
Warning: Spoilers
I love the humor and banter between the main characters! The situation comedy regarding racial issues is really funny and light-hearted, a refreshing break from all the rampant, racial hate today. But why ruin all the fun with raunchy, unrealistic sexual situations?

Why is it considered comedy that a married man watches porn when 90+% of married people would NOT find that OK? And what father would seriously hire a babysitter that does porn on the side, and not tell his wife that crucial detail, just for the sake of a night out on the town? How is it funny that the mother of a 2-year-old would think it amusing that her husband is actually attracted to the babysitter? And seriously, if the babysitter actually DOES porn on the side, do you really think she even NEEDS that babysitting job?

Years before Friends and Seinfeld I came to the conclusion that Prime Time no longer provides acceptable entertainment for children under 18. Thank goodness for DVR's and Andy Griffith! Ha! I get that! It is what it is! But we adults should still be able to enjoy Prime Time adult humor, even sexual humor, without the distortion of sexual-reality -- correction -- sexual-reality for 90+% of the population outside of Hollywood.

Truth Be Told has the potential to be a great show. But seven minutes into it, my husband asked if we could watch something else. I enjoyed the cast so much that I finished watching it after he went to bed, wanting to give it a chance. But it just got worse; even the consistent hilarious banter couldn't keep me from canceling my season pass.

Sad face.
