Faced with the burden of airing on Christmas — and without lead-in support from “Undateable” — the final two installments of “Truth Be Told” posted series low numbers.
Per Nielsen fast national data, the 8PM episode drew a 0.5 adults 18-49 rating and 2.011 million total viewers. The 8:30PM follow-up slipped to a 0.4 with 1.669 million viewers.
Barring upward adjustments in the final Nielsen report, the two episodes will rank as the lowest-rated and least-watched installments on record. Prior to this week’s broadcasts, “Truth Be Told” had not gone below a 0.6 in the demo or 2.06 million in total viewership.
Originally picked up for thirteen episodes, “Truth Be Told” had its order trimmed to 10 after posting poor early ratings.
NBC’s Friday also included a re-run of “Dolly Parton’s Coat Of Many Colors,” which drew a 0.7 with 3.473 million in the 9PM hour and a 0.8 with 4.501 million at 10PM.
