- Super Bowl XLIII proved the nation still loves its football. For four years now, viewership has surpassed 90 million.
- Unfortunately, a special episode of The Office didn’t do as well as the game. Despite earning 22 million sets of eyes, the program roped in the smallest post-game audience since 2005.
