Modern Family was adjusted up 0.1 ratings points to a series high 4.2 adults 18-49 rating, while American Idol was adjusted up two tenths to a 6.7 adults 18-49 rating. America's Next Top Model was adjusted up a tenth in adults 18-49 to a 1.5 rating. High Society was adjusted down a tenth to a 0.3 adults 18-49 rating, and yet I'm sure the "it's already renewed" rumors will continue.

The rest of Wednesday's broadcast final ratings are below.

    Go Modern Family!!!!!! Wow!!!! and it went over 10 million.

    Niiiice, Modern Family!

    Hah! High Society… god, I can't believe it's even pulling 0.3! And Tinsley Mortimer by the way sounds to me like a name from a really cheesy slasher flick!

    And a repeat of The Middle does about the same as a repeat of Modern Family… curious.

    omg hooray for modern family! that's amazinggg! i wonder if it'll reach new highs for it's finale

    Yay, 4.2 and 10 million viewers for Modern Family!

    Despite Modern Family's amazing-ness, and this coming from someone who's never watched either show, Cougar Town (and unrelatedly SVU) still can't get a 3.

    Though Top Model has a big advantage over Gossip Girl in viewers & 18-49, Gossip Girl edged it out in young women this week.

    I'm surprised that a repeat of The Middle at 8pm did about as well the 8pm reruns of Modern Family. I think ABC is considering moving The Middle to 8pm in the fall with their recent decision to put Middle reruns at 8pm. Personally, I wish more people would watch The Middle because it's not this Malcolm In The Middle ripoff that a lot of people make it out to be. Kudos to Modern Family for achieving a series high in the demo! I've been a big fan since the pilot, but I haven't had a chance to see the last few episodes (mostly because of Idol). It's very interesting to me how Mercy performed better in a highly competitive hour; perhaps it is an “adult” show that should only air at 9pm or later (a la Cougar Town and Family Guy).

    I watched the first 4 or 5 episodes of The Middle. They only wish they could be Malcolm in the Middle.

    Modern Family did very well. I don’t like the series though.

    Cougar Town was actually up a lot vs. last week!

    I really wish Modern Family viewers would give Cougar Town a chance. Despite the original premise, the show has evolved into a hilarious family comedy. It's not about Courteney Cox sleeping with young guys anymore, and it's really good.
