Modern Family

Re: Modern Family

  • I really enjoy the show as well, but unlike so many of you, Phil is BY FAR my least favorite character.  His character is.....pathetic in a way, and for me, not always a sympathetic pathetic.  I mean, it's great to have dreams and have fun with life, but I feel like he reminds me too much of all the annoying & oblivious drivers, cell phone talkers, texters, etc that exist in the world today.  Plus, he, more than most--seems to just be an excuse maker & enabler for so much of today's bad & annoying behavior in our society today.  Almost like a real-time version of Homer Simpson.  But, on a show like MF, I think it's an OK character to have in that cast.

  • No wonder Claire is so neurotic......she's married to Phil. She has to stand up and be "the bad guy". I get her. I like Manny.
  • It's been our favorite comedy since the first episode.

    Love it!!  I like that the new Lily can speak. The other Lily was adorable but was basically just a prop. I'm guessing those who don't like that new Lily is "bratty" have never seen a real 3-yr old lol.
    Yes

    I have no problem with the new Lily. I actually prefer her, it's nice that they have a child who speaks now.

  • Love the show! Really smart and funny writing. I love a show that I have to pay close attention to, or I might miss a joke or a tidbit they'll bring up later.

    Not crazy about the new Lily. I guess they're going for the "brat" angle?

    This week's episode was awesome. Snorkles!! SNORKLES!!!!

  • Mitchell's reaction to Snorkles was perfect. I don't mind the new Lily, but why is her hair always a mess? It seems like Cam would be all into styling her hair, cute headbands, etc. 

    The entire Dunphy clan is awesome

    I cracked up at how much Jay loves that dog. I hope they keep the dog around, too!

  • I think having an older Lily makes it a little better to gauge sibling rivalry and have a better character interplay once the new kid is adopted, assuming it's a baby.

     

    And I just got into this show over the summer and watched the second season on Hulu (not the first, I have to find it), and holy shiit they get me.  I love you, Modern Family.

  • DH and I LOVE this show and its one that we will watch over and over and laugh every time!

    "People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."
