Super Bowl 50 was obviously the top show for the week of Feb. 1-7, but here’s just how far above everything else it was:
In adults 18-49, the game’s 37.7 rating was greater than the combined total for the 14 top-rated programs after the game and post-game shows (but including the post-game “Late Show”).
In viewers, the Super Bowl’s 111.86 million was more than the Top 9 non-sports shows combined.
“The Big Bang Theory” (3.8 in 18-49 and 15.29 million viewers) was the week’s top show not airing on Super Bowl Sunday.
