RENEWAL ALERT: Modern Family

ABC announced that its comedy centerpiece Modern Family has been renewed for two more seasons after they closed deals (and raisers) for the core six cast members. Family has of course been ABC's top rated comedy since its debut in 2009 and there was a lot of speculation that it might only have one more season. But it will now get two seasons, which will take it through its 10th season. I wouldn't be surprised if that's it after that, but we'll see. It also possibly puts it in position to end at the same time as that other big network comedy hit, The Big Bang Theory.
