Modern Family fell a tiny bit more than The Goldbergs did this season as a result of the lineup change. A key difference, though, is Modern Family stayed where it's aired since 2009 and has always grown out of its lead-in. Considering it didn't change time slots, one would expect a family comedy to be up in relative ratings versus the year before. It consistently fell into the 1s by the end of the season, and by the time Season 10 hits it probably won't even be their most profitable comedy. It's great that it's still growing a lot out of its lead-in, but it really doesn't have that compelling of a reason to drop as much as it did.
