The Small number of comments here should tell you how fans are feeling about this show. There are always a few laughs per episode but it surprises me less and less when they're rare. Have the characters grOwn stale? Who knows but maybe it's time to bow out gracefully. It's funny how the ascendancy of Parks & Recreation and Community is happening as The Office and 30 Rock start the inevitable lessening of their quality. Modern Family is the current sitcom cream of the crop. Think about it there are no reruns and no TiVo, You have to pick OfficE or Modern Family to watch - discuss.
