ABC has very little going for them. That might be part of the decision. I mean why is GREYS ANATOMY still going after 14 seasons?
Everyone I know that watched Modern Family has given up years ago. It's a good time filler if nothing else is on but I never got the popularity.
I never watch TV shows live, but I still enjoy it. It’s lost some steam since it’s peak, but they still pull in roughly 6 million viewers on average.
Like, it’s nothing that I NEED to watch, and I’m not invested on what Phil and the Gang will do next episode, but like you said it’s good enough to put on when you have free time and enjoy it.
I’d much prefer a good quality, non laugh track sitcom like this, over a laugh track filled, catchphrase sitcom like TBBT. Young Sheldon is much better than Big Bang due to that IMO.
