Goodbye
Farewell
Amen
Finally
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

With nearly 106 million viewers on average, "Goodbye, Farewell and Amen" is still the most-watched series finale in television history. Viewership was at its highest in the last six minutes, with a whopping 121.6 million. No other series has come close to breaking the record. For comparison, these are the sitcoms that have come closest: 80.4 million watched the "Cheers" finale, 76.3 million tuned in for the "Seinfeld" finale and 52.5 million watched the "Friends" finale. With an average of 106.5 million viewers, Super Bowl XLIV barely edged out the "M*A*S*H" finale in 2010 for the most viewers of any type of television program.

It's inspired by a character in a book.

Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce got his nickname from his dad. It's the name of the main character in "The Last of the Mohicans," which Hawkeye claims is the only book his dad ever read. Of course, his dad is also a doctor, so we assume he's read a medical book or two.
