does anybody find the show less funny with the kids getting older


I do.

In my opinion the show as a whole hasn't been consistently funny since season 4. Season 4 was the last great season. I think the show is losing steam. It's hard to remain funny 20 episodes a year since 2009 but, yea, it isn't as funny anymore. However, I did enjoy Kelsey last night.

It's only Luke (and a lesser extent Lily) that I have a problem with.

It's March 2017 now and the show is even less funny, in my opinion, than two months ago. I read that it may be cancelled. Sad, in a way, because Modern Family was once a great comedy! I never wanted to miss a show. Now, I don't care if I do.

I still find it really funny.. I don't think it was ever the kids I liked best anyway, I think Phil is my favourite character and he is still the same. I guess with any show they're eventually going to run out of ideas but I still find myself laughing every episode.. it's my favourite comedy series.

the show is overall less funny,
but manny's scenes are funnier now that he's older because of how awful an actor he is, it's like watching a cheesy horror flick from the 80s
