Modern Family also finished as TV's most-watched comedy of the week (13.8 million).

ABC's Grey's Anatomy emerged as the #1 broadcast drama of the week among Adults 18-49 in the L+7 numbers, leapfrogging over CBS' NCIS to lead by 5% (4.4 vs. 4.2).

Modern Family was also the week's biggest overall gainer in time-shifted viewing, picking up +4.67 million viewers.

The 8pm premiere of ABC's Happy Endings shot up by 67% (0.9 to 1.5) among Adults 18-49 over its first-reported Live + Same Day number, while the 8:30pm telecast catapulted 86% (0.7 to 1.3), topping the percentage increases of Fox's Touch (80%) and NBC's Grimm (79%).

· Among Adults 18-49, ABC saw 3 shows add on more than a full rating point to their first reported Live + Same Day numbers (the most for any network): Modern Family (+2.3 rating points), Grey's Anatomy (+1.5 rating points) and Nashville (+1.1 rating points).
