So this show called it a wrap last night. The hour retrospective before the actual finale was better than the finale itself. They really did a great job casting the six adult characters and there's no denying their chemistry and that they elevated some of the weaker scripts.
The first season was fantastic, the next few seasons were pretty good before falling into mostly mediocrity for the second half of its run. Last season I thought it improved somewhat with Haley's pregnancy storyline and her giving birth would have been a fine, natural ending of the series. But it came back for one more, mostly "so what?" season, with only the Christmas episode coming to mind as a standout.
While Modern Family could well have ended a couple season earlier one reason it didn't was that it consistently brought in a more high end demographic that advertisers love.
This is also the last network sitcom was a big breakout hit; the tv landscape has had huge changes since its '09 debut.

We'll watch tonight.

While the quality may have been up and down, every episode had something in that made me laugh. And laugh hard. Not many shows can say that. I'll miss it next season.
