Modern Family -- "Airport 2010" -- 05/05/10

Modern Family

Synopsis:

Spoiler:
For Jay's birthday, Gloria gives him the best surprise -- a romantic birthday getaway to Hawaii -- the only kicker is she invited the whole entire family to come along. Everyone arrives at the airport, and it's a maddening scene with forgotten I.D.'s, security breaches and flying phobias.


Episode 22 of 24

I believe this is a 2-part episode.

Really looking forward to these next 2 episodes both focusing on the family vacation that has been talked about for awhile now. Hopefully there is some great laughs.

Loved the nod to the Twilight Zone episode "Time Enough at Last"....It's not fair....It's not fair......

Also love the scene with the 14 year old boy having to be escorted on the plane by an airline employee due to him being so young....

I loved the subtle Twilight Zone reference. When Jay discovers his e-reader is broken he says "it's not fair, it's not fair", the same line Burgess Meredith's character gives at the end of 'Time Enough At Last'.

Edit: guess I should refresh before posting.

Missed that connection, and I love that TZ episode.

I heard that line last night and said aloud, "There was time now..."

That was hilarious. I almost fell off the couch kicking my feet in the air just by her reaction.

Haley's embarassed/angry look was priceless at that scene and later on when Alex made fun of her.

Very good episode from beginning to end. I wonder if I'll be able to say that again about 30 Rock this season.

Yeah, that's definitely seen a significant dip in quality.

"I'm sorry I'm a little bit tense."

"Coffee'll help that."

(Claire and Phil's back and forths are always awesome.)

Cam spritzing Lily's face to keep her awake was great; I LOLed at that. As was Jay stepping on Cam's sore foot when he turned to play with Lily.

Biggest laugh of the episode had to be Phil: "Who sang Evil Woman? ("What?") E-L-O". I had to rewind to continue watching because I was laughing too much and missed Phil/Claire's go around. (Although, Phil at the end "Do your zombie impression." and then "Let's do Bride of Frankenstein." was great too. As was his sense of skill when describing his prowess as a burglar because of his realtor's knowledge. "Every burglar leaves clues. Not me. I'm clueless.") His improvisation, regardless of situation (and how uncool he really looks, not that he has any clue), and sense of humor are top notch.

Did anyone else have a problem with the timeframe of Dylan trying to get out/the family leaving for the trip? I know they could have skipped forward, but it seems with the time frame, rather unbelievable. Then again, with traffic, who knows how early they'd have to leave for the airport.

Hilarious episode! The coda was gold. "Hey there's another hottie for you at 5 o clock."
