Although its audience was the smallest for a Super Bowl since 2009, Super Bowl LII utterly dominated the weekly ratings for Jan. 29-Feb. 4.
Here’s how much:
In adults 18-49, the game’s 33.4 rating was higher than the combined totals for the 15 top entertainment shows on the broadcast networks (from “This Is Us” to “Kevin Can Wait”).
In total viewers, you’d have to add up the audiences of the nine most-watched shows (excluding the Super Bowl postgame) to surpass the Super Bowl’s 103.39 million viewers.
Here are the network standings for last week and the season so far.
