    There is a Modern Family thread but it has diminished over the years. I don't think it has lost it's heart, but it's heart isn't on display as much. Some of the over the top gags (Like Phil using Alex as a therapy dog a couple of episodes back) are just cringe-worthy. It's still watchable for me because there is still some good stuff in it, but it has always danced on the absurdist humor/regular sitcom line, and that choreography is currently out of step.

      Every episode is exactly the same.

      All of the characters behave in the same exact way.

      I used to love the show too but now it's only on when I have nothing to do on Wednesday night.

And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

        Didn't mind Man With a Plan at all, I like the idea of "Joey" being an alpha male father, and didn't realize the wife would be the sister from Yes, Dear. Heard the original pilot had Jenna Fischer in the role but they didn't feel the chemistry so they recasted. Damn, would've loved to see a show with Joey and Pam.

          I still enjoy Modern Family but the "layered" writing really tapered off. And I couldn't stand what they did with Mitch and Claire. They're incredibly annoying characters.


          The episodes this season have been good to very good so far.

            For me the show has become something I'll catch on syndication and nothing more

              Kevin Can Wait was awesome with the Ray Romano guest star and Man With A Plan pilot was solid.

                Ray's character was so ridiculous, it was great.

                  Great Indoors was a bit tedious and not particularly funny but I guess I'll give it one more week.

                    All this Kevin Can Wait love...maybe I should look into it.

                    I loved him on King of Queens (especially the early years).

                    It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

                      The first couple episodes weren't so good, but it's really picked it up.

                        It's still not crazy laugh out loud funny but it's entertaining enough.

                          Early hook on Man With A Plan and The Great Indoors-don't have the patience after one episode each.

                            I like Man With A Plan. Laughed frequently at the second episode, but that's probably cuz I love Kevin Nealon.

                            Great Indoors gets one more shot.

                              This Is Us & Designated Survivor are the only new shows I've carried on with. This Is Us is probably one of my favorite shows right now as it is so well written.

                                I am also a big fan of Kevin Can Wait. Loved King of Queens. Was one of my favorite sitcoms of all time.
