ABC Announces Season 3 Premiere

ABC has announced the double showing of Modern Family that kicks off the third season on Wednesday, September 21st at 9/8c. The first of the two episodes sees the Dunphy family vacation at a Dude Ranch in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The family return home to some exciting news from Mitch and Cam in the second showing.

"Dude Ranch" (9:00-9:30 p.m.), our favorite family decide to don their cow boots and hats and head to Jackson Hole, Wyoming for some fun and adventure in the great outdoors. While vacationing on Lost Creek Ranch, they try their hands at a little cattle herding, skeet shooting and horseback riding; there are also some big firsts, a huge surprise and an actual face off between Jay and a foe - a cowboy named Hank!

"When Good Kids Go Bad" (9:30-10:00 p.m.), Mitch and Cam plan a nice evening with the whole family to break the happy news that they're looking to adopt another child. However their parade is rained on when they realize Lily may not take well to another baby in the house. Meanwhile, Claire and Jay are each consumed with proving a certain point.
