Anderson Cooper said it was the most watched event in the history of TV, surpassing the 100M or so people who watched Allan Alda bid goodbye in the last episode of MASH. MASH incidentally stands for Mobile Army Surgical Hospital and it's theme song was the instrumental version of 'Suicide is Painless' which was written by Mike Altman, son of director Robert Altman.
