The finale of the hit TV show M*A*S*H was one of the most historic (if not the most historic) finale in TV history. This is due to the fact that the episode drew 105.97 million total viewers in the United States and a total audience of 121.6 million. According to Wikipedia, this was more than both Super Bowl XVII and the Roots miniseries. It even surpassed the single-episode rating record that had been set by the Dallas episode, “Who Shot J.R.?” cliffhanger.
