Goodbye Dylan and the Horsey Song

On the one-hour season premiere of Modern Family, a lot had changed. Lilly is now a different actress (one trained quite well to say things like “I want to make the baby dead”), Alex is quickly developing into a teenager, and, oh yeah, we left Hailey’s boyfriend, Dylan, behind on the family vacation.

Mitchell and Cam are planning on adopting a second child, Phil and Jay aren’t seeing eye to eye, “Cactus Flower” Gloria is bad at admitting when she’s wrong and Claire always needs to prove herself right. Okay, so Mitchell and Cam are the only ones evolving.

Nevertheless, after receiving armfuls of Emmys over the weekend this may result in a boost of viewership for the already successful sitcom in the near future. As much viewership as that for Charlie Harper’s ashes being spilled all over his living room? Maybe, maybe not.
