Post Modern

Modern Family has gotten good reviews and ratings, so I gave it a second chance. Community is still my favorite new comedy, but MF isn't bad. Worth watching, anyway, if not exactly appointment TV. I still find The Office-style filming offputting. The intentional shaky cam is an annoying affectation in general, and talking directly to a camera is a non-sequitur (and a cheap device) for a situation where no one would be making a documentary.

I also see Bored To Death has been picked up for a second season by HBO. Maybe they'll try some plots this time.
