Yeah. We didn't watch MAS*H in my house ...

... but I knew how big it was. And remember, there were only 233 million people in the U.S. in 1983. So 106 million is almost half of the people in the country at the time, watching a live broadcast. Every Super Bowl on that list is 2008 or later (304.1 million+ U.S. population), except for one. So that puts it in perspective. BTW, I have no idea why we didn't watch the show. My dad probably hated it, and with just one TV in the house ... 🤷‍♂️
