I really like Modern Family, but they constantly rip off other shows.. Phil as the robot, c'mon... Sheldon did it already...

I didn't think it's possible to find Cam any more annoying. Boy was I wrong.
I like the season finale cliffhanger. Not too dramatic, and not too cliche.

I liked the Rhoomba and cockatoo jokes. Clever.

I read the comments here and the reviews at the Onion AV Club, and people are so critical of this show. I don't get it.
When I watch Modern Family, am I in tears from laughter? No.
Does any sitcom on TV make me laugh like that? No.
Every show does not have to be ground-breaking TV like Louie or insane chaos like Archer.
This is a well-made, consistently entertaining show that more often than not is funny.
I think people have turned against the show because it wins the Emmy every year.

Mitchell: "Calm down. I'm talking about a cockatoo"
Cam: "Ohhh... 1 or 2... is that all? How blase"
Ummm, Phil... you have a device called a phone... you could've called Haley, Andy or anyone at the party to stop Andy from leaving. I hate when shows make characters dumb to get the outcomes they need.

I was thinking the same about Phil just picking up his phone and calling one of them.
On the topic of "what shows do" the one that drives me insane is when cops bust into a house at night and stumble around in the dark instead of TURNING THE DAMN LIGHTS ON!

I think the Emmy wins annoy people but it shouldn't. It's just an award that has zero impact on us. You see it with Oscar winners too. Another big part of the turn is that this show used to be much better. It's been way more hit or miss in the last 2 or 3 seasons.
I thought this episode was pretty good and I think the season overall has been a step up from season 5. Last season was bogged down by Cam and Mitch's wedding, which is always a terrible sitcom storyline.

Also, they dragged the Haley and Andy thing out too long. They should either commit to it or drop it imho.

The finale was OK although felt more like a regular episode than a finale.
Phil as a robot was kind of funny. The Haley/Andy thing feels really drawn out and .

So is that face time thing on a Segway a real thing?
It has been on at least 3 shows including this, Community and I forgot the other.

Assuming this isn't a troll, the show is still OK. It was great at first but recent episodes have lost their luster for me. Still love Phil but Cam, Mitchell, and Lilly are annoying as hell. Get the early episodes OnDemand or on disc and I'm sure you'll like it.

Given the fact that Apple has clearly sponsored several episodes, I wouldn't be surprised if they had a hand in planting seeds for that storyline.

Not only is it a thing, but it's specifically sold in the Apple Store: http://store.apple.com/us/product/HE...presence-robot
