The return of ABC's Emmy-winning "Modern Family" topped Wednesday's ratings, but a couple few shows failed to impress.

"Modern Family" (12.6 million viewers, 5.0 preliminary adults 18-49 rating) returned 19% higher than last fall and was the night's top-rated show.

Of the new shows, CBS' legal drama "The Defenders" (12.1 million, 2.9) opened with the best rating.
The series premiere of J.J. Abrams' spy dramedy "Undercovers" (8.6 million, 2.0) underwhelmed on NBC. The show was down 13% from "Mercy" opening that same slot last year and placed last at 8 p.m. among the major networks.
ABC's new comedy block addition "Better With You" (8 million, 2.5) performed about the same as "The Middle" in the time period last year, though still ranked as the weakest link in the network's chain.
Jerry Bruckheimer's latest legal procedural "The Whole Truth" (4.9 million, 1.5) couldn't make its case for ABC at 10 p.m.
