Modern Family: Sunday, 7.30pm, Ten

Things got pretty serious and started heading into high-drama territory at the end of the last season when Mitch and Cam narrowly missed out on adopting a baby.

But it looks as though the writers have lightened things up again with season four. In this double episode, Phil gets upset when Luke announces he no longer wants to be a magician.

Gloria's new pregnancy symptom is snoring; and Mitch stays at home while Cam goes off to work at his new job, putting their household dynamic to the test.

As usual, Cam's story is the funniest. The second episode sees notorious Halloween-enthusiast Claire banned by the neighbourhood association from doing anything scary, which fuels her competitiveness.
