Cal Lightman (Tim Roth) and his team seek out the truth on each episode of Lie to Me. Unfortunately, the truth is that the TV show hasn’t been a big hit in the ratings and could easily be cancelled by FOX.
What can you do? Remember, the ideal scenario for FOX is for many millions of people to watch the show on their television sets, while it’s being broadcast. Unfortunately, ratings are put together based on a sampling of viewers. If you’re a “Nielsen household,” your viewing is being counted. If not, it’s not.
However, if you like Lie to Me and want to see it continue, there are a few things you can do to help.
- If you’re a Nielsen family, watch the show whenever it’s on. If not, watch it on FOX.com or purchase episodes online so your viewing will be directly counted. Encourage others to watch the show. You might know a Nielsen family and not be aware of it.
- Talk about the show with others; at school, at work, online, or wherever. Creating a buzz about a show that you’re invested in gets other people interested and might help bring former viewers back.
- Sign the petition below and encourage others to do the same.
- Write to the network. Be respectful. Everyone responds better to courtesy. Tell them how much you enjoy the show, that you’ve signed the petition, and that you want to see it continue. You can e-mail or, even better, write via “snail-mail” to: Mr. Kevin Reilly, President, FOX, P.O. Box 900, Beverly Hills, CA 90213-0900, RE: Lie to Me
- Take note of the products that are advertised during the show. Write the advertisers and tell them that you appreciate their sponsoring the show and that you buy their products (if you do).
- Check out this group of fans’ efforts to save the show: SaveLietoMe.com.
To FOX, 20th Century Fox Television, Imagine Television, MiddKid Productions, and Samuel Baum Productions:
We, the undersigned, greatly enjoy watching Lie to Me on the FOX network. The actors, writers, and everyone associated with the TV show are top notch. This series makes you think and keeps you coming back to more because of the strong characters.
Please find a way to keep Lie to Me on the air. We are devoted viewers who will continue to watch the program, encourage others to do the same, and will support the series’ advertisers as well. Please keep it going, either on FOX or, if necessary, on another channel.
Thank you for your consideration.

Tim Roth is an amzazing actor all by himself, and his "Lightman" persona has taught me so much and encouraged me to learn more about microexpressions and body language.

I love this show! Please bring it back...don't leave me hanging! Did Cal and Gillian get together? Is the new Black guy going to work for Lightman? The show is interesting!

I cannot believe this show was canceled. I LOVED it! Gave me something to look forward to. And it just ends? No tying up any loose ends. I didn't see that coming.
Country: United Kingdom2020-04-06 18:28:02
I'm still watching for at least the 4th time, in 2020. The characters were just getting started, there is nothing like it on TV.
I'm in the UK and it has a massive following here, at least I and 12 friends have watched it with their friends as well.
It had so much more to offer.
It should have never been canceled?!

Lie to Me should never have been canceled.

Now, more than ever before, we need truth. So rare it is these days, in everything we see and hear, a glimmer of hope that the truth can still be found somewhere, is priceless. This show, more than any other, gives me that. Please bring it back to life. For me and everyone who needs some truth.

I have watched 'Lie to me' at least 4 times on Netflix. Just waiting for the next episode. Waiting for whats next. Its not fair that you just drop the show ending with a little tease as to how things end just because you werent happy with your ratings. But your responsabilty is to your viewers, not your overflowing wallets. Yes your numbers dropped but you still had more viewers compared to the number of viewers you lost. You should have thought about those numbers. Millons left wondering. Us, the millions, thats what you should have thought of. There is no other show out there like 'Lie to Me'. We should all fight for it.

Fox! Are you out of your freaking mind? Lie to me is the best show that's been on in a very long time and the actors are absolutely amazing. Stop being a bunch of money hungry bastard and bitches and put the show back on that the people want to see not the dollar signs you want to see. And how do you know if the ratings would grow with the fourth season? This is the best show you've had in a very very very long time. Put it back on ASAP or you will find yourself boycotted by a lot of people including me. Sincerely, Rick Ferrusi

"Lie To Me" is a BLOODY BRILLIANT show! I just found it on Hulu and am very disappointed that it abruptly ends... finally a thought provoking show that a family can enjoy only to be ditched. BRING it BACK! Make more! PLEASE!!
