“Young Sheldon” continued to swim in its little tank of bland storylines. Meanwhile, “Modern Family” pivoted toward strong character development.

This week, “Modern Family” delivered another solid half-hour, while “Young Sheldon” churned out a head-scratchingly bad episode.

“This Is Us” delivered the Déjà-centric episode we needed and “Young Sheldon” tried to rescue itself from its formulaic plots.

This week, “This Is Us” returned, “Modern Family” delivered a Valentine’s Day special and “Young Sheldon” offered brief moments of promise.

This week, the central story arc of "Modern Family" deals with Manny (Rico Rodriguez) finally moving to college. Yeah, Manny, the cute kid who wore his heart on his sleeve back in Season 1, is now a fully functioning adult. Anybody feel old yet?

“This Is Us,” the drama set around the past and present of the Pearson family, returns with its almost supernatural power to make us cry.
