The score may have been close for most of Super Bowl XLIV, but the game’s ratings were the best thing on TV…by far.

Last night’s battle between the Indianapolis Colts at the New Orleans Saints had 106.48 million Bud Light-swilling, Doritos-chomping sports fans glued to their TV sets. That number represents the largest viewing audience for any event in U.S. television history.

The previous record was established by the series finale of M*A*S*H. That 1983 event totaled a whopping 105.97 viewers.

Undercover Boss’ gigantic lead-in helped CBS’ new entry break a few records of its own. The program had the best debut for any reality series (38.6 million), the best outing for any new show debuting after the Super Bowl and the third best performance ever for any post-game airing.
