Reception
Despite earning critical acclaim from USA Today[1] and attracting the largest audience of the series with 17.4 million viewers,[2] "Phase One" retained just 19 percent[2] of the Super Bowl XXXVII audience and has the dubious distinction of earning the lowest overall ratings for a program airing after a Super Bowl since at least 1987[2] and the lowest rating ever (8.3 rating) in the age 18-49 demographic for a post-Super Bowl program.[2] Much of this can be attributed to the fact that the episode didn't air until 11 p.m. on the East Coast, which also meant it was not eligible for the week's list of top primetime shows ranked by Nielsen Media Research and thus, the episode's viewership numbers were not factored in the series' overall 2002-2003 season average. This late slot was partially due to a decision to include a Bon Jovi performance in the post-game show.[3]
In 2009, TV Guide ranked "The Telling" as #84 on its list of the 100 Greatest Episodes.[4]
