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.

Re: 2016-2017 TV Season
Modern Family has become borderline unwatchable for me. Used to love this show, now it feels like a poorly done Judd Apatow movie where literally all of the characters are kind of ****ty people. All of the "heart" that used to be in the show is gone. Pretty disappointing.
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."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. 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

Re: 2016-2017 TV Season
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.Wolverines Wings Same Old Lions Tigers Pistons Erika ChristensenComment

Re: 2016-2017 TV Season
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.Comment

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

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

Re: 2016-2017 TV Season
All this Kevin Can Wait love...maybe I should look into it.
I loved him on King of Queens (especially the early years).Originally posted by Gibson88Anyone who asked for an ETA is not being Master of their Domain.
It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.Comment

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

Re: 2016-2017 TV Season
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.Comment

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.Comment

Re: 2016-2017 TV Season
I am also a big fan of Kevin Can Wait. Loved King of Queens. Was one of my favorite sitcoms of all time.
