Super Bowl 44 Was Most Watched TV Program Ever

Super Bowl 44


Super Bowl 44 was the most watched tv program in U.S. history. The BBC reports that the viewership of 106.5 million people eclipsed that of the Mash final in 1983.
The figure tops the 1983 finale of medical drama M*A*S*H which drew 105.97 million viewers. The previous Super Bowl record was last year's game between Pittsburgh and Arizona, watched by 98.7 million.

There had been much interest in the game between The Colts - considered the favourites after winning the title just three years ago - and The Saints who were appearing in their first NFL title game.

The Saints' resurgence had been seen as a mirror of the ongoing recovery of New Orleans after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and the underdogs' story propelled viewership.
The Super Bowl was extra compelling because of the New Orleans Saints. Many people were hoping the Saints would pull of the upset because it would be a good thing for the city of New Orleans, which is still recovering from Hurricane Katrina.

13 Million Cranberries Used to Make Winter Olympics Display

Cranberries Winter Olympics


13 million cranberries were used to make an enormous depiction of the Canadian Olympic Committee's logo at the 2010 Winter Olympics. The 13 million cranberries will float within a 46,000 square foot parameter in front of the Richmond Olympic Oval, home of the 2010 speed skating competitions. The cranberries will float throughout the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. The tribute celebrates Richmond's top agricultural crop and honors the Winter Games.

Richmond is an official Venue City of the Games, and is Canada's largest producer of cranberries. It has more than 60 family-owned farms, the majority of which are part of the Ocean Spray Cooperative.

"The cranberry grower-owners in Richmond are thrilled to help create a magnificent display that shows our pride as a Venue City for the 2010 Olympic Games and celebrates this thriving industry in our city," said cranberry grower Todd May. "Our family has been growing cranberries in Richmond for four generations, and we're proud to continue the tradition of providing a versatile fruit that's good for you and is enjoyed all over the world."
