The year was also a record-breaking year for television, with the biggest-ever record for total viewership for any scripted program.
The ratings soared by about 25 million viewers per night, making it the most watched scripted program of the year.
And it was also the most-watched scripted program in the U.S. overall, surpassing the previous record of 28.4 million viewers set in March 2017 by Game of Thrones.
