ABC is probably starting to worry about its Wednesday prospects. The once-mighty “Modern Family” pulled a 3.7 in the demo overnight, its lowest rating of the season. That’s down from when it was regularly pulling high 4s and low 5s Perhaps its just not as funny anymore .
“The Middle” was pretty dreadful at 8 pm, earning a 1.8. “Better with You” was worse, with a 1.6. It’s sure to be canceled, while “The Middle” is happy it got an early renwal.
Compared to those two, the return of “Cougar Town” to the Wednesday lineup with a 2.4 isn’t that bad. “Happy Endings” however earned a 1.7, a sign its likely to live its ending soon.
“Survivor: Redemption Island” was sturdy if not strong at 8, with a 3.0. The rest of CBS was in repeats.
“American Idol” was a beat as usual, averaging a 6.8 in the demo over 90 minutes, but averaged more than 21 million viewers. “Breaking In” averaged 7.5 million viewers, and a 2.5 in the demo.
