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.
