AVClub: Modern Family is going through a serious rough patch this season. There’s no spark anymore, no charm, and even the sharp comedic timing has lacked as of late. Typically, Modern Family has at least been able to deliver a few solid jokes every half hour, and yet this season has been uniformly unfunny. Many of the jokes are strained, the premises contrived or repetitious. It can be hard to pin down every single reason why the seventh season of the show has been so disappointing—is it just a natural sitcom regression, or is it something more specific to Modern Family? To me, the biggest problem with this season has been that none of the characters actually feel like themselves anymore. Rather than creating comedy built outward from the characters, the premises and punchlines seem to come first, and then put into the mouths of characters after the fact.
