ABC's comedy lineup was back in full force on Wednesday. At 8pm, The Middle was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo, which is not bad since it usually comes back weak after a couple weeks off. At 8:30pm, Suburgatory was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. At 9pm, the Modern Family trip to Australia was up six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo while Mixology benefited from a new lead-in and was up four tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo. Elsewhere, Survivor was dead even with last week on CBS while FOX's American Idol inched back up half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo.
