What TV program had the most people watching it ever? (or highest Nielson rating)

This only applies to the domestic US.
Can be any US show.
I will exclude any sports or news event.
Things like the Olympics and 9/11 are obviously out of consideration.

The MASH finale was the highest rated for a while. I think that in the past couple years, one show topped that but I can't figure out which.

As far as I know, the M*A*S*H finale is still the number one rated and most watched show in television history.

I'm sticking with the MASH finale, although the 'Who Shot JR' episode of Dallas was up there...
