And according to what Eric Stonestreet told People, Modern Family is already in its twilight, peaking in popularity and maybe even in terms of creativity; therefore, now it is just about when it makes sense to wrap up the comedy.
Although, Stonestreet also says he believes that with age, Modern Family has gained consistency.
Because shows get more expensive as they get older, they sometimes end prematurely, at least in terms of popularity.
One issue that networks face with popular but older TV shows is that the profit margin for the network isn’t as high.
