Modern Family (ABC)

That episode was fantastic.

From the happy birthday flag, to Cam breaking down because he realized he was 40, to the ladies getting the guy at the amusement park to let Phil on the trampoline.

 

Haley's vagina has been a major plot point now two weeks in a row.

 

If you don't think mocking menstruation is funny, we're at an impasse.

Luke had an A-plus episode. "Nobody calls my husband 'grandpa.' " ... "I do."

 

I definitely do.

Just making an observation.

 

Awesome episode. I caught the "monsterating" line, too, Moddy. Almost spit out my drink.

 

I know this is an unpopular opinion, but if Luke, Manny and the creepy little adopted girl went away, I would be fine with it.

 

Agreed those kids are one-trick ponies. I wish this show was still funny but it has turned into the office.

 

The Dunphy kids are pretty damn funny, but less is more.

Manny and the "creepy little adopted girl" can go away, or be seen and not heard. If this show is on for another five years, it's going to be scary to see what Manny looks like when he starts approaching 18. For all I know, the actor playing him is 35, but who knows?

 

Wow, I think that's way overstating it. This is still one of the 3-4 best sitcoms on TV.

 

Sitcoms on Network TV, what's better? I know the competition isn't exactly tough, but for my money the top 3 are Modern Family, Big Bang Theory, and Parks and Rec...

 

That was one of the most hilarious episodes in its run. I don't think Luke is a one-trick pony. He works well with Phil. The bloody finger and the "I do" were great lines.

The "cycle" is one of the greatest enigmas that a XY confronts in his lifetime and that episode nailed it (and Phil doing his version at the end had wifey crying.)

 

The "Hey. Hey. We're the monkeys" as they arrived at Mitchell's front door -- that was an eerily timed accidental tribute.

I don't mind Luke and Manny, but they are trying to force the cute with Lily.
