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.

It was a shock to learn that Lie To Me was cancelled!
Over 50 years of watching television programming, and here we are with so much unbelievably horrible programming that boggles the mind that it is on the air, with mindless viewers securing their ratings, that it is no mystery why intelligent educated viewers have migrated elsewhere for quality programming.
We found Lie To Me, and soon thereafter the word began to travel and spread about how truly mesmerizing this Year V series is, and suddenly, the awe and shock of it abruptly ending. Cancelled? I couldn't imagine why? Did Tim Roth die?
IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE FOR THIS SHOW TO RETURN TO PRODUCTION?
I would that I could cast over 8 million votes in advance.
Thank you for the best TV show I have ever watched, it was this good for me.

This was my favourite t.v. series, different, humorous and interesting. Always looked forward to the next episode. I am gutted it's been cancelled. I love it so much that I purchased the dvd box set. How can that last episode be the end? So many unanswered questions. By the way this is the first time I have ever bothered to comment on any tv series. Please, please bring it back!

It's a shame the show was cancelled after just 3 seasons. The show was original, very well acted, and believable. Todays viewers likely PVR their shows and watch at their leisure leaving networks hard pressed in determining true viewership. I hope they bring it back in 2018, even if its just for one more season so the internal storylines can be brought to a close.

I watched Lie to Me back when it was on Fox and I'm rewatching it now that it's on Netflix! It's a wonderful show and the characters were well done. I would have loved to see more seasons. If the actors were up for it, bring it back!!!

Lie to me is the best series I ever watched. The actors were amazing, the plot was very well thought and I just fell in love with this show. It broke my heart when I saw that you cancelled the show due to a low amount of viewers. But its not the quantity of fans that matter, it's their loyalty.
Fuck Fox network.
Viva la vida Lightman.

Best show every, very original. A real shame this show was cancelled, I don't know anyone who watched it that did not LOVE it! I hope you will reconsider but probably the cast is long dispersed by now, so sad.
