Synopsis:

Spoiler:
"Go Bullfrogs!" - It's father-daughter time, as Phil takes Haley on a college tour of his old alma mater, and Claire, having a rare night alone, forces Mitchell and Cameron to take her for a fun night out with the boys -- but ends up alone with one particular man candy who is anything but gay. Meanwhile, Gloria and Jay deal with a potential situation at home that may require having "the talk" with Manny, on "Modern Family," WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 19 (9:00-9:31 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.

The four plots were kind of predictable, but still a funny episode.

Was really keeping my fingers crossed to see Gloria in the "downside-up" contraption.

There were more than a few laugh out loud moments for me. The cast is hitting on all cylinders.

After two perfect episodes this one just wasn't on par. It still had it's moments though.

Manny was really distracted by Gloria dress, did anyone noticed that? When he yells for help and they come, Gloria is telling him something and he keeps switching his view between her face and her breasts. It made me laugh.

I thought I imagined that, but yes, I noticed. You'd be distracted too my friend!

LOL. I noticed it too. And now I guess it was obvious to most people. I wonder if he's suggesting to the writers that Manny should hug his mom more.
You really can't blame the kid. I know if I were him on set, i'd have to walk around holding my script in front of my crotch during rehearsals.

This episode shows if you create really good charaters (with good actors of course), you can put them in predictable situations and still have a really good show.

It looks like his eyes went down, but he's never done that before? People's eyes do shift when they have conversations. I don't think he looked at her boobs in any kind of glaring way. And Gloria wasn't wearing a dress, it was a blouse.

If I were a 13 year old boy I'd be staring at Julie Bowen in her short little dress just as much.

Of course if that ever becomes more obvious, the editors better do a better job keeping that out too.

I didn't find this as funny at the previous episodes, but it is still a great show.

Not laugh out loud funny, but still an entertaining episode.

It was nice to see Phil and Haley bond during the college campus visit.

at Phil joining in with the cheerleaders.

at Julie Bowen in the short little red dress. Interesting that they brought Gilles Marini from Brothers and Sisters here.

Is it me, or has Julie Bowen lost too much weight? I can see way too many veins on her arms and hands.

She looked amazing a few years ago when she appeared on a few episodes of Weeds and Silas was banging her. Pretty hot.

I was too distracted by the bulging veins all over her neck.
