No surprise that when Jay revealed his plan to show off his hot wife, she was all for it. She's like that in real life too.

It's about time we saw Kevin Hart again. I thought he was supposed to have a semi-regular role.

^ maybe this is one of those shows that doesn't actually shoot their show at the last minute like Glee does (you'll see a cast announcement, and 3 weeks later, the episode airs

I don't know what it is but this show has gotten really old and unfunny. I am removing it from my DVR.

Was I the only one that was REALLY hoping that Jay was a legend to his old football buddies because he scored four touchdowns in a single game?

Nope. First thing that popped in my mind when he started talking about his football days. Too bad it never came.

I'm with ya right there. I'm still hoping they can get Katie Segal or Christina Applegate to guest star on this show.

Are you really that annoyed with the show? There is only 3 episodes left this season.

I thought that too. Would've been a nice nod to MWC.

I'm still enjoying it but my oh my has it fallen far since season 2. I'll give season 4 a chance but if the decline continues I'm out.

This was a solid episode except for Jay and Gloria's story line.

What's up with Julie Bowen? She looks anorexic.

Would have been better if they had thrown New Lily on the train and lost her.

Highlight of the episode.


I like Kevin Hart, but he felt really forced in here. Gave off a Nikki & Paulo vibe.

She's looked far worse in this show. But looking back at Boston Legal, I wish she'd put some weight back on.

I usually have no issues with Cam and Mitchell but I hated them this episode. Why didn't they just buy Lilly a new bunny that looked just like the old one?

Aside from Phil's line from above, pretty underwhelming show.

I was hoping for a reference to Ed O'Neil scoring 4 TDs in a single game for James Polk High.

Been that way for awhile now.

Saw her on Letterman last season and she had a revealing outfit on that showed how terribly thin she is.

Maybe she'e over compensating for being on with Gloria, even though I think she is better looking than Gloria.

Yeah, I think Bowen is naturally pretty where Vergara seems like a 2 hours of hair and makeup to look pretty kind of gal.

I hate to point this out, but I'm pretty sure Bowen has had breast implants.
