Season 11, Episode 1
7/10
Good episode that doesn't feel like a premier

Warning: Spoilers
The last modern family premiere has good moments and funny twists that take you by surprise.

Phil and Claire Dunphy are hilarious in this episode when they try to get Haley to sleep so they can use their own parenting methods and get Haley's twins to stop crying. There is funny dialogue and Haley at the end of the episode shows her true feelings about being a mother so far and we can't not feel bad for her and hope her instincts kick in.

In Cameron's storyline we see him bringing round students that are on their way to a bad future to his house but when his clown statue disappears he suspects it was one of them. The acting is good and some things Cameron says sound inappropriate causing Mitch and lily to be embarrassed. This story line has many twists and turns and ends with a funny conclusion.

Jay is doing his dog bed commercial and Manny is directing it. Turns out that Manny's ex girlfriend Sherry is doing the voice for the dog and Manny tries to win her back. Though this is the least funny and interesting storyline it still has some witty lines throughout and some good moments.

Whilst all this is happening, Alex is in Antarctica researching stuff and she gets in contact with all the family members but they are all busy with their own problems. It is clear she is not enjoying it but there was funny moments with one of the men she was working with.

Overall a funny episode but I thought the storylines didn't feel like a premiere of a last season.
