If you intend to be home watching TV on Friday night, let me recommend that you skip Truth Be Told. Debuting on October 16 on NBC at 8:30 PM, the Tone Bell and Mark-Paul Gosselaar led sitcom is, as my video review above says, simply terrible. And maybe the worst part is it doesn't have to be as the recently renewed and quite sharp The Carmichael Show revealed. That other NBC show showed that, in fact, topics of race and class in America could indeed be poignantly…

Ugh! This crap was bad, I mean real bad I'm talking Homeboys In Outerspace bad. Nothing about it was funny, cliche dialogue and characters you wouldnt give a crap about.

Another thing I found stupid was that the guys were going gaga over the hot babysitter when they've got two just as hot wives.

The comedy starring Mark-Paul Gosselaar "takes a dated sitcom-style approach to talking about race — rendering the whole show superficial and ringing of, well, untruth,” says Tim Goodman. PLUS: Truth is packed with “worthless" race jokes (http://www.vulture.com/2015/10/truth-be-told-review-a-series-of-worthless-race-jokes.html).
