Synopsis:

1 more new episode left for 2009 (December 9th air date). It's going to be a X-Mas themed episode. Then the show comes back January 6th

no modern family for almost a month?! this makes me sad

I'll miss the little potsticker.

The Shelly Long episode repeats an hour earlier, it appears.

"You've combined the two things kids love most, combs and sheaths"

Phil's clown fear was hilarious

"You know, people are gonna stare, they're not used to seeing one clown in a car!".

so many funny moments in this episode. i gotta rewatch this on hulu, i know i missed some jokes from already laughin so much.

I really like this show, but I'm getting tired of the "mockumentary" style with character "interviews". The Office, Parks and Recreation, Modern Family, etc. Enough already.

Lots of fun trying to guess which of the links in the chain reaction caused the trip to the ER.

Manny on the zip line, and the 'dog' rescue.

I thought for sure it was going to be Phil turning around to see Gloria in the bouncy house that caused it.

"You have something on your shoulder! Oh, it was nothing."

Hilarious episode. Especially when Fizbo went badass at the gas station.

I thought the best part of that was when he pulled out his big clock.

I loved Phil's reaction to Fizbo. Hilarious. He went white as a ghost.

What a great ep!

I love all the characters on this show but Manny, Cam, and to a lesser degree Phil all steal the show.

I don't get the name. Fizbo is how you describe a home For Sale By Owner (FSBO), but they didn't tie that in. It's too common to be a coincidence, but I missed any connection to that if it was on the show.

I love this show. Tonight was a great episode with lots of funny lines. Manny and Cam are definitely the funniest, followed closely by Phil. And speaking of Phil, everytime he insulted Claire boring the kids with the comb sheath I lost it. Lots of great exchanges and one-liners tonight as well.

"Well, I could use a new belt." - Luke
"A new belt?" - Claire
"You're right, I don't need a new belt. This extension cord works fine." - Luke

---

"She has good hand writing. She's the complete package." - Manny

---

"Oh, I get it. You're worried about people seeing me." - Cam
"Without question." - Mitch

I hated this episode. My wife and I are recovering from the flu, so we go into a coughing fit whenever we laugh too much.

"I'm the ass-kicking clown that's going to turn you into a balloon animal" was brutal.

Probably the best episode so far.

Tons of funny stuff in this one.

I loved the chain reaction disaster and ending with Luke slipping on the comb sheath beads.

Pretty funny. This show is definitely one of my favorite new sitcoms. This and Community are great.

However, I'm not a huge fan of how most of the episodes are ending. I don't really like the whole inspirational music and one of the main characters doing a voice over about how important family is. They've done that for the past few episodes, not a fan, it seems forced.

Well, Phil is a realtor. He'd be scared by a FSBO situation, perhaps?

But Phil clearly stated he had issues with Clowns and it has been this way since childhood. He said hi Mom told him he found a Dead Clown in the woods. I'm guessing the name and his career choice are just a clever choice.

So no new episode tonight?
