I know, I agree... But apparently America did not:

Despite earning critical acclaim from USA Today[7] for the January 26, 2003 episode entitled "Phase One" and attracting the largest audience of the series with 17.4 million viewers,[8] this episode retained just 19 percent[8] 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[8] and the lowest rating ever (8.3 rating) in the age 18-49 demographic for a post-Super Bowl program.[8] Also, since the episode started airing at 11 p.m. on the East Coast, 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
