• During his 2015 fall TV season preview on the radio program “Fresh Air,” TV critic David Bianculli said this about the new network comedies: “Most of the comedies don’t even come close to being funny. And one of them, NBC’s ‘Truth Be Told,’ is so unfunny and repugnant, the only reason I single it out is to beg you not to watch it.”
