Ratings Review: MODERN FAMILY (Season Six)

Even though it has fallen out of the race, with THE BIG BANG THEORY, to be the top comedy on TV, MODERN FAMILY continues to do very well in the ratings. Especially in today's TV landscape, which sitcoms are having a hard time finding audiences.

MODERN FAMILY's Live+SD averages are 8.30 million viewers and an A18-49 rating of a 2.7, for the 33 airings, including nine repeat episodes. remove the encores from the averages and the numbers are 9.45 million viewers and a 3.2 demo.

In the Live+7 ratings, the total viewership average rises to 14.13 million viewers (+50%) and a demo rating of a 5.3 (+66%). As long as the cast stays together, I can see many more seasons for MODERN FAMILY.
