Finally we leave you tonight with some history. 90.72 million tuned in last night for Super Bowl XL. That marks the highest rating since 1996, when the Cowboys were actually a great team. Who knew the Steelers-Seahawks could draw such a crowd for Super Bowl XL! Following the game was ABC's red hot series Grey's Anatomy. Grey's scored 38.1 million viewers. The highest rated post-Super Bowl programming since 2001 and the third highest in the last 18 years. Part 2 of that cliff-hanger episode airs next Sunday. Hopefully they can sustain 30 million viewers a week.
