Trust Me might be going bye-bye
Are there any big fans of TNT's Trust Me out there? I'm really curious to find out. I like the show, but it still hasn't hooked me. I thought it started out with a lot of potential, and the charismatic leads – Eric McCormack and Tom Cavanagh – are great, but that's not enough to keep me coming back every week. I guess most viewers feel the same way. Trust Me has been getting killed in the ratings for weeks, and now it looks like the show might never get a chance to find its groove. McCormack is reportedly ready to move on. He's been cast as the lead in an ABC comedy pilot produced by Tad Quill (Dirty Sexy Money).
That's right, it seems like he's leaving Trust Me -- and cable -- behind to return to network TV. The Hollywood Reporter article about McCormack's new gig stated that Trust Me, which THR calls Truth in Advertising (the show's original title), is not expected to return after it finishes its first season run.
I can't say I'm surprised, but I am a little disappointed. The Quill project is described as a multi-camera sitcom about "two friends who embark on very different lives." (I bet it'll have a laugh track too!) I'd much rather watch McCormack opposite Cavanagh on Trust Me – which I think could develop into a really good show after another season or so – than another blah ABC sitcom.
What do you think? Do you want Trust Me to stick around?
