The series starring Justin Hartley has become the first freshman show since 'Survivor' to be the most watched entertainment show on television.

In the age before streaming, there was no better prize for new series than to premiere after the Super Bowl. Over the years, networks have used the powerful audience lead-in of the premier NFL event's 100 million-plus viewers to provide sampling for a new series. Such hits as 'The Wonder Years,' 'Homicide: Life on the Street' and 'Family Guy' received their first exposure after the broadcast. Lately, the post-Super Bowl stunt has been used less often.

The formula continues to work well with the traditional TV audience that tunes in to CBS. But the series has a different feel than the network's other dramas, which typically depend on ensemble casts. Although Hartley's character, Colter Shaw, has a support team to assist him on cases, he is onscreen nearly every minute of the show. He is the stranger who rolls into a new town each week to help solve people's problems.
