AVClub: A large part of why this season of Modern Family has struggled, both in terms of comedy and drama, is that the writers seems to be running out of ways to test the characters, to put them in situations that allow for fresh, exciting storylines. Last week’s episode did a lot to earn some goodwill in terms of storytelling by focusing on how things are changing for many of the characters. Sitcoms often struggle to retain a unique voice as they age, but one way to stir up new conflicts is by putting characters into new situations. It looked like Modern Family was starting to do that these last few weeks, but tonight’s episode fails to keep that momentum going.
