Here are two tests to see whether you are good at reading facial expression, and therefore are good at spotting lying. The first one relates to at reading microexpressions:

Does this in any way give the TV show "Lie to Me" some validity?

Definitely New. The main character in this series is based on Ekman and the method on Ekman´s research on microexpressions, although it of course is a bit exaggerated. I think you can tell quite a lot from microexpressions, but one also have to be aware of the context the expression is shown. I think the reading of microexpression is one way to detect lies, but I think it needs to be combined with other methods as well.
