Nope, but having Googled it, I'd bet the USA doesn't rank too highly anymore.

Hmm, well for a long time you were number one every year, then I think in trumps first year of his first term you dropped down to 5th or 6th. This year I don't know exactly where the US is, but it isn't in the top ten any more. The greatest country in the world is now seen as being Japan, followed by Germany with Canada in third.

I was more just curious though how many other people had heard of it or watched it.

Last night around 7, I typed "Eagles - Cowboys score" into Google and was greeted with a big notice saying "Help is available" and the number of the suicide prevention line.

I had to Google that. Seems interesting, though.

Uhm..... If some guy walked up to you & said he could dig up ancient memories by dropping acid in an isolation tank, would he really have your attention, or would you start backing away???????
