SUPER BOWLS RANK AS TV’S TOP 22 SHOWS ALL-TIME

The 2012 NFL season concluded with another television milestone as Super Bowl XLVII on CBS reached a total audience of 164.1 million viewers (6:32-8:41 and 9:11-10:47 PM, ET), making it the most-viewed show in U.S. television history according to The Nielsen Company.

The 49ers-Ravens championship game topped the previous record of 162.9 million total viewers for Super Bowl XLV (Packers-Steelers) and marks the fifth consecutive Super Bowl to reach a total audience of more than 150 million viewers. Super Bowls account for the 22 most-watched programs in history in terms of total audience.

Most-Watched TV Programs, Total Viewers
Game Total Viewers
Super Bowl XLVII (49ers-Ravens), 2/3/13 164.1 million

hmmm ok that is good and well for the game but where are the numbers for the Half time? or you want us to believe those numbers are higher this year just because of beyonce's 12 minute lackluster performance? in that case

This reminds me of the lip-syncing incident. The board went down so it couldn't be discussed and I'm sure some people are still denying it happened even after she admitted it.

Quote:

Only a 4 million disparity in viewers despite a 35 minute delay of the game. That's pretty good.

They didn't count the 35 minute delay... and the ratings were better for the second half probably due to people hearing about the outage and the fact that the 49ers made it so close.

Not that the 160+ stands for anything besides the estimation that overall 160 million households tuned in during the duration at one point or another (108 million is what will go in the books in viewers) BUT Nielsen, in 2012:

Total Viewers

Super Bowl XLVI (Giants-Patriots), 2/5/12
166.8 million

Super Bowl XLV (Packers-Steelers), 2/6/11
162.9 million

Super Bowl XLIV (Colts-Saints), 2/7/10
153.4 million

Super Bowl XLIII (Cardinals-Steelers), 2/1/09
151.6 million

Super Bowl XLII (Giants-Patriots), 2/3/08
148.3 million

You forgot to add this important part, which confirms the OP.

In addition, an average of 108.4 million viewers watched Super Bowl XLVII – ranking third all-time.

Are you sure? You should read it again.

Seems like the hive spoke to soon.

Was to be expected after the inauguration controversy tbh.

Careful now, it's like Beyonce is young duckling blazing it over in today's pop scene. As King Justin says what goes around comes around.

During a game that suffered a 30 minute blackout after the game was basically decided anyway

I also read somewhere that the average ratings for this year's NFL playoffs were down anyway and they therefore predicted the ratings for the Superbowl to go down as well. They also said the ratings were possibly going to finally plateau this year after years of an upward trend.

No, they're not bad BUT you (I mean "you" in general) can't trash talk for months and not get a deserved response from it when your talk fails to come to fruition. It's blind-sided to say many of the same fans in here who love Beyonce wouldn't be doing the same thing Madonna fans - and all fans who don't really love Beyonce and-or her fans - are doing since they are currently doing it with reviews and they were doing it pre-emptively about ratings and quality.

Say by some miracle Beyonce got over 114 million viewers for her half-time show, wouldn't you want to rub it in to those of us in here who have been rubbing it in?

Not surprised Beyonce failed. It was the most boring thing ever. The Hive continually compare her to Michael but she has no wow factor whatsoever. Booty shake, 30 second weave swing, giant fans to blow the weave, lip-syncing, 600th lame performance of "Single Ladies", unexciting DC3 appearance. We've seen it all before. After watching it I realized "her" songs hold no cultural power whatsoever. I had to Youtube Janet's amazing bit just to satisfy my half time needs.

Some of y'all are so pressed. Like being a part of the 3rd most watched show in TV history is not impressive

I'm surprised i'm reading this from you out of all the users here. That post is full of ****.

If Britney served half of what Bey did last night the Britney Army would be freaking out.

I don't understand why everyone's being such a party pooper about this.

KarlosVzla

Double standards

I think Bey constantly proves that she's one of the best performers of all time. Every performance she delivers is mind blowing so i can see why some people may be underwhelmed with last nights performance I really can't see how anyone can be underwhelmed by that but, hey, everyone has their opinion . The fact that some of the stanbases are going off on this performance while it still ***** on more than half of their faves performances

Wonda

Oh no! I was hoping it would increase again, like it HAD been doing. Why the decrease in viewership?
