Drew Brees and Peyton Manning dethroned Hawkeye and Hotlips.
Since it aired Feb. 28, 1983, the final episode of CBS' M*A*S*H sitcom, which averaged about 106 million viewers, reigned as U.S. TV's most-watched show. Sunday, the New Orleans Saints' Super Bowl XLIV victory on CBS set a record: 106.5 million.
CBS' coverage drew 45% of U.S. households, up 7% from last year's Pittsburgh Steelers-Arizona Cardinals game on NBC. (By contrast, the M*A*S*H finale drew 60.2%.)
