Modern Family
Backlash be damned. The season premiere "Bringing Up Baby" was heartfelt and hilarious, as all the best episodes of this show are.

Re: Modern Family: Season 4
It was fantastic, with the exception of Manny. That kid is dragging down the show.

Re: Modern Family: Season 4
Premiere was fairly solid, though Lily still cannot act.
Julie Bowen was a highlight as usual.

Re: Modern Family: Season 4
Modern Family is bringing it back this season. Both episodes last night were great, especially "Schooled."
Phil grabbing the butt of what turned out to be Haley's roommate...hilarious. I totally could have seen my own dad doing something mortifying like that too.

Re: Modern Family: Season 4
They nailed it when Haley called them on their way home. Good stuff.

Re: Modern Family: Season 4
This season has been great so far. I've been very impressed with the past three episodes.

Re: Modern Family: Season 4
Loved "Yard Sale." Phil's reenactment of 127 Hours ("I said no tomatoes!") and the moment with the dramatic organ music when Gloria was presented with the dummy were great.
I appreciate the realism of Haley only appearing via Skype but I do miss her character's presence a bit.

Re: Modern Family: Season 4
I'd argue that this is the best season since the first. Every episode has been hilarious.

Re: Modern Family: Season 4
Great episode last night. Haley getting kicked out of school felt like a bit of a lazy plot development but I didn't really mind. The whole Dunphy family will be in every episode now, as it should be. Also, Phil getting all tough parent for a bit was a great moment.
Golden dialogue from last night:
Haley: "In Legally Blonde, Elle won her case by being true to herself and dressing cute." Phil: "This is real life, not an excellent movie."
Lily (about an IV): "What's this?" Luke: "I don't know, but thanks to Obama, you're paying for it."

Re: Modern Family: Season 4
Last night's episode was another great one. Phil and Matthew Broderick were so awkward and hilarious.

Re: Modern Family: Season 4
The episode was just OK, although I did love the awkwardness of the Phil/Matthew Broderick confusion.

Re: Modern Family: Season 4
This season has easily been the weakest in the series. However, last Wednesday's episode was well-written especially the Claire vs. Phil vs. Mitchell vs. Cameron plot.

Re: Modern Family: Season 4
Claire describing how they haven't sex in a while was HILARIOUS.

Re: Modern Family: Season 4
The homage to The Godfather at the end was incredible. The rest of the episode was fine but that bit totally made it.

Re: Modern Family: Season 4
My main complaint about Modern Family now is Mitch and Cam. Their storylines are just getting repetitive and the characters don't even seem to like each other very much, let alone be a long-term couple with a child.
But when this show is on, it's ON. Like the Godfather bit last night? Slayed. That was one of the best moments this show has ever had. Thank god for the Dunphys.

Re: Modern Family: Season 4
Mitch and Cam are annoying and easily my least favorite characters. If it wasn't for the usual comedy gold from the Dunphys and Jay/Gloria I'd have lost interest.
