I really do have a bad memory, don't remember any of that.

Yeah ratings...

The December 2, 2008 episode ("Flame Red") was the highest-rated television show of the week, marking the first time a program in its first season had achieved that distinction since Desperate Housewives four years earlier

Started with 15 mil peaked at 19, finished with over 17.

Whereas its similiar neighbour Lie to Me:

In the United States the viewing figures declined as the series progressed. The Pilot was seen by 12.37 million, however by the final episode of the first season it was down to 8.46 million.

Strange that, such a vast difference in ratings, clearly different programs but with many similiar aspects to, and both quality shows.  Maybe Baker pulls in the women.  Also I don't know what they air on in the States and how that affects things.

We in the UK appreciate Lie to Me though...

The first episode attracted 395,000 viewers overnight in the United Kingdom, with an estimated 790,000 watching the episode on personal video recorders. The live viewing figures increased to 436,000 overnight for the second episode.[18] The vieweing figures have increased gradually over the series. The highest rated episode of the series (as of 23 July 2009) is episode 9, with official viewing figures of 739,000.

(Should probably make a thread for it...)
