The Giants weren't the only ones marking milestones at Sunday's Superbowl XLII. The game made history as the highest-rated Super Bowl in the history of the game, with 97.5 million viewers, according to Nielsen.
Last night's game peaked between 9:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. with 105.7 million viewers.
Not only did the event best its own record, which was set at the 1996 Dallas-Pittsburgh game with an audience of 94.08 million, but it also scored as the second most-watched television broadcast in the country's history, after M*A*S*H's 1983 finale, which tallied 106 million.

Wow, no wonder why the streets were so fucking empty around LA last night, I loved it. I didn't watch the game at ALL, and I usually stick around for half-time and the commercials but this year I was like, I'll catch anything decent on the Interweb later... I'm so OUT of the loop haha.
