Modern Family -- "Run for your Wife" -- 10/28/09

Modern Family

Synopsis:

Spoiler:


On the first day of school, Phil and Claire have a misunderstanding of the meaning of their empty house, and Jay and Gloria don't see eye-to-eye on Manny's outfit. Meanwhile, Lily's minor incident becomes a major issue for Mitchell and Cameron.

On the first day of school? Manny and his nephew already had scenes in school. And the older daughter already had the guy over for "studying"... Maybe this was produced before some of the other eps?

"Sir please tell your wife to relax"

"That's a man"

"Really?"

Phil getting hit with the car was hilarious

ABC swapped last weeks episodes with this one for some reason.

They did that because of that stupid volunteering PSA they were doing, I bet. How dumb.

Why can't networks just play episodes in order?

I thought the pediatrician was going to make Mitchell hit his head against the wall juuuuust a little longer.
I have to admit this series is really growing on me.

I was surprised to see they aired these out of order, I hate when networks do that. This was enjoyable but definitely one of the least FUNNY episodes of the series to date, with only a few laughs. Like I said though, I like the characters so much that I didn't mind that this one wasn't hilarious, still entertaining.

The "Diana Ross" wig comments were priceless.

Good scenes between Phil and Claire this week -- as already mentioned though, no real laugh-out-loud moments for me either.

I lost it when Cam gave the pediatrician a bow as she was leaving.

Phil's walking shoes were great, too.

Pictures of the young Mitchell.

"Is this going to be like the blonde highlights again?"

"Couldn't hear you. I'm crankin' one of my mashups."

"Sir, please tell your wife to relax."
"That's a man."
"Really?"

The end of the run.

Without you, we wouldn't even have a baby to injure!

You thought "ghetto fabulous" might be medically relevant?

What was the jaunty item Mitchell wore to school?

Wasn't it just a jaunty hat?

I thought maybe it was a jaunty scarf. Jaunty beret is what I have heard used before.

Scarf. Jaunty is not a hat-specific term.

I thought the car hitting scene was a bit over the top as was the baby locked in the car but otherwise I thought the episode was very funny.
The Young Mitchell pics were hilarious.
