Super Bowl XLIV between 2 smaller market teams in the New Orleans Saints and the Indianapolis Colts was not supposed to get the ratings it did. It was suppose to have good ratings, but not super! Super Bowl XLIV officially became the highest rated television program in history. It broke the 27 year old record that M*A*S*H had set back in 1983 when it had its series finale and was watched by 106 million viewers. According to the ratings 106.5 million people watched this year's Super Bowl. So if you watched Super Bowl XLIV you were apart of history!

Thanx AllHeadline
