Modern Family (ABC)

I have to catch that on dvd. It's one of the only shows going right now that I am disappointed I haven't caught on to.

 

I didn't care for Parenthood. I think I only lasted three shows... Well-acted and well-done, just too intense and depressing...

I thought Modern Family last night was pretty mediocre.

 

I was disappointed in the season premiere last night. Gloria's rant at the end was pretty darn funny but that was it. The stuffed animal stuff was not funny, nor were Manny/guys/Lilly.

 

I laughed quite a bit with the stuffed animals. Was fairly pleased with the whole episode overall -- Claire getting excited about Gloria's pending fatness was humorous.

I guess my standards are too low, I thought both Modern Family and How I Met Your Mother were pretty enjoyable half-hours.

 

I liked it. Luke always kills. "Yeah, don't worry, Manny. I'm sure you're more adorable than a baby."

 

Claire was hilarious...

My concern is that the two baby storylines will hijack the show a bit or shift the focus away from Bowen and Burrell, who seemed to have less to do the other night than usual... Maybe that was just a one-episode deal...

 

But we don't know if it'll be a two-baby story line. Wonder if they'd have Gloria give the baby up for adoption to Cam and Mitchell?

 

And I thought the stuffed animal scenes were freaking hilarious, especially the one near the end.

 

I think anyone who watched the show knows the answer to that, not that they'd ever do a storyline that stupid anyway.

 

Christ no. This family is way too tight knit for that. And Jay is thrilled about the baby.

Luke remains the funniest character, for those wondering. "Sometimes I like to toss a grenade then walk away."

 

And did anyone else find Julia Bowen with brown hair to be even more attractive than normal?

 

Yes. Very much so.
