I don't quite understand all the "1" ratings.
Is the show that bad? I don't think so.
Sure, the story lines now often feel like we saw them this way before one way or another. But if those previous stories were funny, why not?
We saw Jay(this time Phil) thinking the worst of Gloria, but I always find it kind of funny when Gloria regails us with stories of her (very criminal?) past in Colombia.
And the fridge? I thought it was hilarious (although slightly unrealistic) and a nice nod at a woman as gay man's best friend (and once Cam and Mitch realize it, see where it ends up!).
I think if you accept that the show is in it's 11th year, that actors have grown (some more than others) and don't overthink it, Modern Family is still funny.
