Modern Family -- "Open House of Horrors" -- 10/24/12

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Synopsis:

"Open House of Horrors" - Claire has overdone it in Halloweens past and the neighbors definitely don't share her enthusiasm, so this year she's being forced to tone it down and keep it "kid-friendly," and Phil has an idea to hold an open house on Halloween night. Meanwhile, Mitch and Cam host a costume party while contending with Lily wondering who her real mom is, and Gloria's pregnancy hormones are on overdrive, making her even more hotheaded than usual, on "Modern Family," WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 24 (9:00-9:31 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.


Episode 5 of 24

Liked Jay's Kneivel costume. Might have to steal that idea. Was the "Princess" he chatted up a dude?

Yep. That's why Gloria stopped Cam from intervening. She said something like "He needs this."

Phil talking about the Hall & Oates cover band he saw was great.

Cam: I may have told her her fibs kill birds.

Lily: Why are you talking like this? (through the side of her mouth)

I got the impression that Gloria didn't realise it was a dude.

For a show that depends heavily on quick one-line zingers, it's surprise to see how they don't realize a joke that required 2 to 3 segments to deliver is not funny. It tool several setup and segment just for Claire to scare Phil and it wasn't even that clever. Really......?

I liked how Manny had both a devil and an "angel" on each side of him giving him advice.

"Medieval Knievel" got the biggest laugh from me.

I got my wife into Modern Family midway through last season and we recently started watching the first season for her. Last night we watched either episode 5 or 6 and Phil is talking about Hall & Oates and mentions the exact same song as in this episode, listing it as his favorite. Pretty good continuity
