If you wanna showcase some of the great acting on Modern Family, this show is NOT the one to choose. I would've watched the previous 10 seasons if they were just a Ty Burrell monologue, and while there have been peaks and troughs in the show previously, this episode seems to be a perfect t storm of disjointed and uninteresting storylines, dialogue with zero nuance, and again... the acting! It looks like a drunken table read. Hope the season improves from here.
