During an economic recession, many people are prone to cut back on going out and revert back to spending time in front of the TV.
If this year's Super Bowl ratings are any indication, most Americans are still planted firmly in front of the boob tube.
The game between the Saints and the Colts has now officially become the most watched show in HISTORY!!
The game in which we saw the Saints take home the trophy was watched by 106.5 million people, beating out the finale of M*A*S*H which drew 105.97 million viewers.
This is huge! That record was thought to be near unbreakable, but apparently we've underestimated the power of Carrie Underwood's voice during the national anthem. (I mean, that' why everyone watched the game, right?)

I talked to a few friends over here and I guess they don't play any of the same commercials. A lot of people surprisingly caught it on BBC1 though.
