Sunday's Super Bowl game between the New Orleans Saints and the Indianapolis Colts is now the most watched program in television history. 

Neilsen estimates the big game was watched by 106.5 million people, surpassing the 1983 series finale of "M*A*S*H," which had 105.97 million viewers -- at a time when far fewer homes had television sets.


The game also stomped on last year's record viewership of the match-up between Arizona and Pittsburgh. Only 98.7 million tuned in to that game.

Not a bad figure for, lets face, a relatively obscure, minor sport in global terms. But as Pete has correctly said there’s a world beyond America’s borders and trust me they really couldn’t give a toss about the Super Bowl. To prove a point the World Cup final of 2010 was watched by over a billion, that’s a BILLION, people! The Super Bowl is never, ever going to match that figure.

It’s the most watched show in the US. Not in history. There’s a world outside of America that also owns televisions!
