It's official, Super Bowl XLVIII is the most-watched TV event in history, with 111.5 million people tuning in to see the Seattle Seahawks dominate the Denver Broncos.

Despite a fairly boring game and "utterly forgettable" halftime show featuring Bruno Mars, Fox says that "even in the closing minutes, the rating was only 5% lower than it was for the entire game.

The previous record holders for most-watched events in U.S. TV history were 2012′s Super Bowl, seen by 111.3 million, and the 2010 game, with 111 million viewers.
