Even if the premiere of FOX's The Moment of Truth was not as bad as I expected it to be, I didn't watch the following episodes. However, it seemed that enough of you did to warrant the order of more episodes of the intrusive game show. Friday, the network announced that it had ordered an additional 13 episodes of the "No. 1 new show of the season" (that's how FOX describes the show); thus bringing the complete season 1 order to 25 episodes.
The lie-detector show, hosted by Mark L. Walberg, is reported by the network to be the third-highest rated program of the season (see the press release for details). Then again, this could be because the show airs after American Idol and airs at a time where most of the other networks are airing reruns.
The game show puts participants in the hot chair when they are asked revealing questions in front of the audience, including family members and friends. The Moment of Truth airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT and will move to 8 p.m. ET/PT on March 5.

I only watched the first episode because I thought it was going to be hosted by Marky Mark (the reason for the "L" I later realized). Privacy-invasion-porn plus the fall of a b-list actor? That was too good to miss. Alas, it was neither intrusive enough or Marky Mark enough to warrant watching another episode.
