Hmm...

According to the ratings, around 97 million people watched the Super Bowl, and 106 million watched the M.A.S.H. finale in 1983. I'd argue, though, that more people saw the Super Bowl. Think about it. If you watched the game, did anyone watch it with you? Almost everyone who watched the game was at a bar or at a Super Bowl party, which means several people were watching one TV. So instead of 97 million people, maybe, just maybe, twice that amount watched the Super Bowl. Wouldn't that be wild?

Well, then account for those numbers being different percentages of different sized populations.
Not only less people in 1983, but even less with tvs.
So maybe it's all a wash.

Your point is valid, however.
