Super Bowl XLVI got a 47.8 rating last night, which means- that this incredible game will NOT be the highest rated Super Bowl ever, but ...who cares! This did turn out to be the most viewed broadcast in history, and in fact, the most viewed TV show in history, according to figures released this afternnon. (Ratings? XLVI will have to settle for third place; this figure, by the way, was just under one percent below last year.)
