It follows only the final episode of M*A*S*H which aired February 28th, 1983 and drew in 106 million viewers. 

Figures from TIME ZONE ADJUSTED FAST NATIONALS, reveal FOX's Super Bowl coverage from 6:31 pm - 10:12 pm scored a 37.6 rating among A18-49 viewers and the Super Bowl post game from 10:12 pm - 10:38 pm delivered a 26.6 A18-49 rating.
