Modern Family: Season 9 – UK Region

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

“Modern Family” gets ready to enter its tenth season with a finale that displays both what gave this family sitcom appeal, and what has now made it feel like a prize fighter running out of steam. “Clash of Swords” throws in some big changes signaling that the show is now nearing the sunset, but it also recycles much of its standard formula, ensuring that loyal viewers won’t get any change in tone going into the final lap.

The finale is a series of different dilemmas being faced by the main characters. Jay (Ed O’Neil) suddenly faces a group young techies offering to buy out his closet business. They give him 48 hours to make a decision. He stubbornly refuses but a visit to hot company EzraVision comes as a major slap, making him realize that he is probably getting too old for this sort of enterprise. Meanwhile Gloria (Sofia Vergara) throws a dinosaur-themed party for Joe (Jeremy Maguire) only to discover a better party is being thrown next door by rival Dr. Donna Duncan (Jane Krakowski). The big crescendo comes from Cam (Eric Stonestreet) and Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) having to take care of a child belonging to Cam’s sister, who is serving jail time. Mitchell however decides to sneak off with Phil (Ty Burrell) to Hero-Con while doing cosplay as the characters of their beloved show “Clash of Swords.” As all this happens Manny (Rico Rodriguez) prepares for a big road trip.

“Modern Family” is still funny in a low-key kind of style. It has attempted to tap a little into the zeitgeist in the last few seasons, but with this one it’s been mostly about the characters and their emerging, final journeys heading into the tenth season. Characters like Alex (Ariel Winter ) got accepted into college, Claire (Julie Brown) began having a bigger role in the family closet business, and Jay truly began to face turning points in his life and career. But the season never truly dared to do anything risky or to experiment too much with its formula. Lackluster would be too strong of a word for it, instead it simply chugged along.
