Don't expect to be saying goodbye to Modern Family anytime soon.
It has just hit a season and series-high 13.16 million for its Valentine's Day episode in the US, smashing its previous record of 12.67 in its second season premiere.
This is its 13th episode of its second season (its 36th all up).
However, while Modern Family is going from strength-to-strength ratings-wise, critically, it has not been as successful as its first season, with the plot-lines of the various families becoming less intertwined than the first season.
Not that ABC (US) will care about that, of course, with Modern Family arguably propelling Cougar Town into its second season off the back of its great ratings.
This has also proved true for the recent debut of Mr. Sunshine starring Matthew Perry and Allison Janney, with its pilot netting a cool 10.524 million viewers (Cougar Town has been temporarily taken off air to accommodate it) despite luke warm to good reviews before it premiered.
There was no surprise when it was renewed for its third season on January 10th, 2011, and its hard to see it going anywhere anytime soon- something Channel Ten in Australia would be ecstatic about.
In Australia, Modern Family airs on Sunday nights, with the 11th episode, "Slow Down Your Neighbours" the latest to air.
