I challenge anyone to sit down and watch an episode of Modern Family
and not enjoy it. Even when some of the plot lines are not
laugh-out-loud hilarious, the show has such heart and the characters so
developed, I just love watching them each week. As usual,
there were three different stories for the families in "Starry Night,"
this time with the Dunphy's getting their own standalone, and Mitchell
and Cameron splitting up with Jay and Gloria respectively for theirs. Normally
we're a big fan of unique combination of the characters and the
families, but this time the Dunphy's standalone was the strongest to
us. While too much physical comedy can be cheesy, some how Ty Burrell
(Phil) has it down to a science between the infamous step and his
entire garage scene. In the past, we used to think of Luke as
perhaps the weakest of this ridiculously talented ensemble cast of
characters, but this week if anything the kid stole the show. His
misunderstanding of the noise cancellation headphones was great, but
his best line came after the credits with, "My mouth is asleep like at
the dentist." Killed us. And no, we don't care if plenty of
other shows have done story lines about kids procrastinating school
work. Sure it was a generic sitcom plot, but it was used to show a fun
turn of the tables in the Dunphy household. To Read More Click here. |
