Season-to-Date DVR Playback (9/19/11-2/19/12):

On average for the 2011-12 season, ABC's Modern Family and Grey's Anatomy are the season's Top 2 biggest gainers via time-shifted viewing among Adults 18-49 (picking up 2.5 rating points and 1.6 rating points, respectively), while the ABC sitcom continues to rank as the season's biggest overall gainer among Total Viewers (+4.85 million).

· With Modern Family (8.0 rating) and Grey's Anatomy (5.3), ABC claims this season's #1 scripted series/comedy and #1 drama, respectively, in the key young adult demo based on original telecasts. In fact, the ABC sitcom is the season's #2 program overall in Adults 18-49 (tied with NBC's Sunday Night Football), behind only NBC's Super Bowl-boosted The Voice (9.4).
