 * In terms of ratings, the series no complaining: after a super first season (an average of 23.7 million viewers per episode), sank the ratings in the second season (partly also due to the less strong scripts) to 22.2 million viewers. The third season remained stable and the fourth was that too. Then went the ratings a little down, but that decline was a general trend that had an impact on all television programs. The series does it in its seventh season still more than decent. In its target audience remains the even the best of views series.
