The Super Bowl ratings are in, and good news, America… WE DID IT! Confuse me with numbers, THR:
Super Bowl XLV Sunday night on Fox had a 47.9 metered market rating, tying with the 1987 Super Bowl as the highest rated ever in the metered markets, according to preliminary ratings from Fox Sports.
Wait, tying the 1987 Super Bowl? Tying. That’s like kissing your sister, or sticking your large hands in your boyfriend’s mouth to feed him popcorn as 100 million people watch in horror. Or something. And, look, I know “metered market” is an important TV term, but it’s not something Joe Sixpack-of-Miller-Light-Drinkers-Who-Order-Miller-Light-Because-The-TV-Says-Other-Beers-Are-For-Homosexuals like me can wrap our heads around. Spoon feed me, TV Squad:
Not only is Super Bowl XLV the most watched game ever, but it is the most-watched program in TV history.
More than 111 million viewers tuned in to see the Green Bay Packers go up against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
(*streamers fall from ceiling of apartment*) WHOO-HOO! USA! USA! USA!
It’s not all super fantastic news on the ratings, though. The post Super Bowl broadcast of “Glee” pulled in 26.8 million viewers, good for the show’s best ratings ever, but a 31 percent drop off from last year’s showing of “Undercover Boss.” It’s almost like airing a show totally at odds with the typical football, dudebrahbrodude demo right after the biggest football game of the year isn’t a good idea. I know, I’m shocked too.
Maybe next year they’ll listen to me and air my new reality show where flat-chested women compete in a billiards tournament, with the winner receiving free breast implants. I call it, “Rack ‘Em.”

You write a blog? You must drink an inferior beer like a fag. Drink Miller Lite, fag.
Just proving I could be an ad writer for a beer company.
I’m glad more than just the 20 people I was watching the game with were laughing at Cameron Diaz shoveling popcorn into A-Rod’s mouth.
That image is going to replace the whale in my nightmares.
Glee was even worse than I thought it would be. Wow. At least when I was forced to watch Grey’s Anatomy they had the decency to explode a guy.
@Tacos Gigante: Bruins fan, eh?
A Rod obviously wouldn’t get his own popcorn. With hands like hers you’d be afraid she’d pull the ol’ popcorn trick too!
111 million people tried to erase this image by pouring bleach into their eyes….
You’re assuming A-Rod wouldn’t be interested in “falling” for the popocorn trick.
Zack, Now Brass Bonanza is stuck in my head.
@Tim: If you’re gonna have that stuck in your head, you might as well have a nice visual to go with it:

Why don’t actresses and pop stars go away after I stop wanting to fuck them?
Ms Diaz I would have preferred to remember the boner you gave me when I watched ‘The Mask’ and Ms. agulara (i don’t spell in ethnic), please go away or be as slutty hot as you were five years ago.
Thanks,
Horny Internet Loser
Umm, did anyone else notice the sleeping fat cat behind them? Just wondering…
Highest viewing figures ever…pah
The World Cup final is estimated to have had about 700 million viewers. Not one single other country on the face of the planet has any interest in your dull game played by whooping, talentless, padded-up, steroid abusers.
Then why are you reading an article about it?
