(FOXNEWS) – Yellowstone National Park, an almost
mystical  2.2-million acre wonderland of dynamic
hydrothermal activity, breathtaking scenery and
spectacular wildlife, was established on this day in
history, March 1, 1872.        

It was the first national park in the United States and,
to most people around the world, the first known on
the planet. It quickly inspired an international
conservation movement in the wake of the Industrial
Revolution.

This poster was created in 1938 as part of the Works
Progress Administration, or WPA.

More than 100 million Americans tuned in to bid "Goodbye,
Farewell and Amen" to the doctors, nurses and staff of the
fictional 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital on this day
in history, Feb. 28, 1983.

The final episode of the hit CBS sitcom "M*A*S*H" remained
the most-watched television program in American history for
27 years.

It was finally surpassed by Super Bowl XLIV (the Saints over
the Colts) in February 2010.

Its finale is still the most watched scripted TV show in
American history, 40 years later.
