* CommonKnowledge: Ratings dropped the second that Keri Russell cut her hair short? Well yes there was an overlap there, but the show also had its timeslot moved from Tuesday night to Sunday night, which was the WB's weakest day. The ratings decline actually began before the haircut, because of the timeslot moving and other storytelling changes. Even the WB themselves blamed the haircut for the ratings, and instigated a rule that no young stars on their network shows could change their hair without permission first.



* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: More like She Changed It, Now It Sucks!: The memetic response to the show as Keri Russell lopping off her locks coincided with its ratings sinking. Though in reality, the falling ratings were far more likely caused by the show's timeslot change (see the Trivia page).
