Modern Family Halloween Episode!

This hilarious episode of Modern Family entails Mitchell getting stuck in a bathroom at his new law firm as her foolishly dressed up for work when no else did, Jay bothers Gloria about her Colombian accent, and Claire goes nearly insane to put together the best Halloween ever; she stages the entire house in ghoulish decor.  The episode was filled with laughs and my favorite line who have to be when Cameron says, "Yesterday's lazy makes up for today's crazy".  Overall, this was one of the funniest episodes of this season! Keep watching and sorry I missed last week's episode! Tune in next week.

A Relatively Funny Fourth Episode!

Alex, being a nerd, struggles to find popularity and seeks her older, popular sister for help.  Claire tells the Cameron, a heavy set man, to lose the bicycle shorts that he often wears, which in effect causes him to hysterically cry.  Claire only promised to tell Cameron that he looked awfully in bicycle shorts if Mitchell promised to tell Phil, Claire's husband, he isn't funny.  Gloria attends a Colombian wedding where Jay promises to familiarize himself with other Colombian people and somewhat assimilate himself into her culture.  Unfortunately, Jay only interrupts the bride and groom's first dance, embarrassing himself and his wife.  Cameron finds out of Mitchell's deal with Claire and becomes hysterical yet again and insults Mitchell about his beard.  Mitchell attempts to shave his beard, but Cameron stops him.  The two make up at the end of the episode.  Alex begins to reach her popular status, but she makes a fool of herself on the phone with her friend.  At least, she decides to stop posturing herself.

Episode Three: Full of that same comedy we all love

Unfortunately, due to lack of time this post will be rather short and less descriptive than the previous posts. In short, an earthquake strikes, fortunately with little little damage, though.  This episodes highlights comedy in disaster.    Claire is trapped in bathroom with a plumber, while her daughter and her scream at one another about Claire being a "control freak".  Gloria is annoyed with Jay because he constantly makes excuses for skipping church.  Right as she is lecturing him an earthquake strikes-a sign from God if you will.  Thus, Manny and Jay decide to play golf, which infuriates Gloria even more so.  Jay makes several statements- there is no Hell and the sinners are in heaven- during their golf outing that deter Manny from his religious beliefs, causing Manny much anxiety.  Mitchell and Cameron have negligible damage from the earthquake; however, their unwanted friend and Cameron's ex-boyfriend, Pepper, (Nathan Lane, "The Birdcage") arrives, despite the insistence that he does not.  Claire and the plumber finally get out of the closet without any help of Phil who was busy nailing a cabinet he was supposed to do to prevent it from falling in the advent of an earthquake at Claire's request. 


Favorite Line of Episode: "There's nothing mystical about an earthquake.  Pressure builds and it is released.  You just hoped that there's not too much damage.  But it makes you realize what matters, and for me, that is my family...my family and golf."-Jay at the end of the episode

Season Two Episode Two of "Modern Family"!

The second episode chronicled an altercation between Gloria and her husband, Jay, about Gloria's culture.  Jay incessantly teased Gloria's Colombian culture.  Gloria misleads Jay into thinking all of these absurd rituals are part of her culture.  For instance, Gloria forces Jay to slap the chickens while screeching before cooking them to rid them of evil spirits.  Regardless, Gloria is planning to cook dinner for the entire family in honor of her deceased grandmother.
  
Alex has a problem with a boy.  Her older sister Haley was asked by their mother, Claire, to investigate this potential boy in Alex's life. Claire is overprotective of her own kids and their relationships because it turns out that she was quite the wild child herself.  Nevertheless, Alex decides to confess her feelings to this boy in fear of being thought a lesbian.  You see, Haley takes after Claire, and told this to Alex.  It is an epic fail as her crush's entire soccer team is at his house as she confesses her feelings.
  
The couple of Mitchell and Cameron have their own PDA problem because Mitchell is afraid to kiss Cameron in front of other people.  When they arrive at Jay and Gloria's house for dinner, Cam tries to kiss Mitchell who suddenly twists out the way, causing Cameron to fall over the couch and be covered in spilled potato chips.    


The entire family congregates at Jay's, who is wearing a pair of shoes around his neck (another aspect of Colombian culture).  The family are arguing with each other in a classic chaotic family moment.  Jay talks about Claire's promiscuity as a child, revealing an embarrassing anecdote just as her kids walk into the room and Gloria accuses everyone of not showing enough affection toward one another.  Jay is the main target of Gloria's heavily Colombian-accented monologue as he tries to play the "tough"father figure role.  However, he has a soft spot, and all the family embraces one another; Mitchell and Cameron even kiss.  After the dinner Claire drives her family home from dinner and asks Alex to wait in the car.  As the two talk about embarrassing moments Claire experienced, Alex's crush arrives in the driveway alone.  The two talk, and Alex doesn't kiss him quite yet.  Much to both of their relief, she would like to wait.


Favorite line of the episode: This isn't a direct quote, but the anecdote of Claire being escorted home by the police in minimal clothing was my favorite line of the episode.  This is particularly funny because her kids walk in just in time to hear it!


Keep watching and more following next weeks episode on Wednesday October 6th at 9/8c!

First Episode a Hit! "Modern Family" picks up where it left off: making us laugh.

The premier episode of "Modern Family" continued the classic humor from the first season.  As in each episode, each section of the family has their own problem.  Manny's mother struggles with jealousy as a Colombian mother who is overly protective of her son when he finds his first girlfriend.  He ends up dumping his girlfriend only to take interest in another girl, which infuriates his mother even more so.  Luke, Claire, and their kids try to sell their old car.  However, Claire struggles to say goodbye to the car as it full of memories and selling it symbolizes a transition between stages of their lives.  So, the family takes the car on a last spin to say goodbye to it, but it ends up rolling down a cliff in a hilarious scene that has Phil jumping on the car in an attempt to stop it and his son, Luke, vomiting.  Although the family loses their car, they gain invaluable and hilarious memories that will remain with them forever.   Mitchell, his father Jay, and partner Cameron Tucker attempt to construct a princess playhouse for their daughter, Lily.  Unfortunately, Mitchell has had several disastrous home improvement projects in the past.  As a result, Jay and Cameron awkwardly stay away from him and eventually tell him that he's simply a horrendous handyman.  Mitchell takes offense to this and proves them wrong by successfully completing the playhouse alone, and replies with my favorite line of the episode. 


Favorite line of episode: "Who's the bitch now? Bitchez."- Mitchell Pritchett. 


Also, you might want to check out the show "The Middle" that airs an hour before "Modern Family".  I also saw a commercial for the show "Sister Wives", which is about polygamy.  Hey, it could be good...


Until next Wednesday.
