modern family - luke and manny :no:, lilly is WOAT actress, it worked as a 4 yr old dropping one liners, now she needs to :camby:
two and half men - jake's stupidity wasn't funny or cute anymore

fresh prince, cosby, and home improvement all managed to avoid this

Does maybe count though? Neither she or George Michael were supposed to be cute kids in the first 3 seasons

it's not about cute, it's about the way their "dumb" or "too grown for a kid" act didn't translate to them being older therefore they sucked as a character. neither jake, luke, nor manny were supposed to be cute kids, but it was more a combination of personality traits that were funny because they were like 10 years old. shyt, lilly is still a kid and sucks, she was :russ: when she was 4/5/6, at 10 it's :beli:

Maybes character was too grown back during the original run. What did she do that didn't translate to the later season?

I swear the baby Joe is the funniest kid on the show now, and he gets maybe a line every 3 eps.

The rest of them are garbage, except maybe Hailey.

I just think that maybe kid actors aren't really actors, and once they hit a certain age, their skill is gone and they should just move on.

As a matter of fact, Phil aside, baby Joe is the 2nd funniest person on Modern Family right now. After those two, the gap between them and the next funniest is as wide as an ocean.

That show has fallen off so badly it's unbelievable.
phil is easily the GOAT tv dad of this decade
