Super Bowl XLII set an all-time record for the big football game, becoming the most watched Super Bowl ever. 97.5 million viewers tuned in to see history made.

Wow, that's a LOT of eyes.

"The game eclipsed the previous record of 94.08 million, set when Dallas faced Pittsburgh in 1996. More people watched Sunday's game than all but one American television broadcast ever, the "M-A-S-H" finale in 1983, which was seen by 106 million viewers."

Giants-Pats Was Most-Watched Super Bowl

Ah, you answered my question. I wondered if it beat the MASH finale. No dice, though. Looks like nothing will ever knock it off the perch.

I remember seeing the Match finale, along with the "Who Shot JR" episode back in the day... ...I guess this was evens up with those...

XLII was the most watched Super Bowl ever. Was it the most watched sporting event ever?

In 2004, 153 million watched the opening of the Olympic Games. Not really a sports event but a lot of folks viewing

With today's modern media and how great of game that was, I'm not shocked by any means.

I think only the patriots fans wanted to see it happen, most wanted it to stay with the fins. And the giant haters are all from mass.

Again ... you didn't point that out. That is how a lot of misconceptions happen. You post an opinion that sounds like a fact because you don't state it to be that way.
