Worst episode so far this season. Still some value and comedy from the Dunphy's, but the other families are really going downhill.
Pam is awful, conflict can bring comedy, but this additional just doesn't work and never did; lazy, freeloaders that always manage to get their own way is a comedy trope that needs to die in sitcoms. The Cam/Mitchell/Lily dynamic used to be one of the highlights of the show, now Mitch and Cam barely act like parents at all.
Jay and Gloria just seem to argue all the time, and the writers forgot how to write Manny seasons ago. Hoping things get better, but adding more kids really isn't the answer to the diminishing quality of the show.
