Three time "Best Comedy Series" winner Modern Family returns for it's fourth season that I hope is an improvement on its boring third season. Last season's finale was very emotional with Cam and Mitchell no getting the baby but also we found out that Gloria is pregnant which could be a divider for the family. It's Jays 65th Birthday and Phil comes to the door to take him away almost like a kidnapping. Mitch and Cam did not get the baby but they have to tell Lily that she is not getting a little brother. The Dunphys went to prom and some people seemed drunk. Gloria tells Manny that she is having a baby and he takes it OK saying that the baby will have to be taken care by him. Lily seems to be using "if I can't get a brother" card to take advantage of her parent's which is very annoying especially with the character being a horrible character. The guys take Jay fishing which is not to his liking making him fall into the river. Haley asks if Dylan can move in but mean mom Claire says no. Gloria tells Claire she is pregnant and the first thing she says is "She's going to get fat", after that she seems happy. We all knew Jay does not take news good but throwing Claire in the mix. Then when they try to get a cat it includes signing a lot of documents which is weird because cats are usually free and can go to anyone. Party time and Jay comes back and when Jay gets there he seems to have so many news flash's come in his faces. When he is told to be nice he reacts to the news he seems overjoyed. Then we get a future look with Gloria with a bump, Phil with a Beard, Mitch and Cam got the cat after being back from London and Dylan moved in with the Dunphy's and now he has moved out. Best episode of the show in some while and Ed even though very mean in the episode I found to be very funny. Also finally Sofia is not wasted. Other actors were great and most important is that I laughed at the episode.
