    		It all depends if you are talking about a single show.

    Then that would be the final episode of M*A*S*H.

    NOTE: The series premiered on September 17 1972, and ended February 28 1983, with the finale becoming the most-watched television episode in U.S. television history with over 105 million viewers.
