I watched up to 4th season of modern family so it must've done something right but I remember mainly how bad the show was. Not as cringe-worthy as rules of engagement. I just had to stop watching that after they made one of the main characters (the younger guy) pretty much mentally retarded. So many shows that go to bigger extremes to try to be funny but end up not showing real people anymore. The new girl is another show that falls prey to this so badly I can't stand to watch it.
