Good figures, but far from its peak

Modern Family bowed out with 7.43million viewers on Wednesday night.

The ABC sitcom’s last ever episode attracted its biggest audience in three years.

However, it was by far from the most-watched TV show of the night, behind NBC’s trio of Chicago-based dramas (8.95million for Chicago Med), Fox’s Masked Singer (7.7million) and CBS’s Survivor (7.78million).

At its peak in the third season in 2011  Modern Family  – which stars Ed O’Neill, Sofía Vergara, Julie Bowen, Ty Burrell, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Eric Stonestreet – nudged 13million in the ratings.
