Modern Family

Did anybody else watch the pilot for this show on ABC? The pilot for this was one of the funnier pilots for a show I've seen in the last few years. For those of you who aren't aware of what it is, it is a show about a dysfunctional family that includes the dad (Ed O'Neal, aka Al Bundy from Married with Children) who is married to a younger, attractive Hispanic woman and her son; the dad's son, who is gay and just adopted a Vietnamese baby with his partner; and the sister, who is married to a guy that seems desperate to be the "cool dad" with their teenage daughter and son. The show is filmed like the Office where it seems that a camera is following them around and the 3 couples at times talk to the camera. To me, it is kind of like a hybrid of The Office (due to its filming) and Arrested Development (due to the dysfunctional family). Though, the family is more realistically dysfunctional when compared to Arrested Development.

Great episode.

- "Can you tone it down?"
- "I can't. It's who I am."
- "The music."

Together with Flash Forward, this season's new shows are quite promising.

I loved the sister's husband. The stuff revolving around him shooting his son was classic. I just about died when his son asked, "Why are you smiling?"

New episode last night. The guy trying to be the "cool Dad" is still my favorite so far.

i have not watched this yet, but i will on the weekend

I couldn't get into this one! Don't think it lives up to the hype.

Are you talking about the hype I created? Or hype from elsewhere? Because I haven't heard any hype about it. I just saw one commercial, saw Ed O'Neal, and thought 'I'd give that a shot.' Sorry you didn't enjoy it as much as I did.

The first two episodes showed promise. I think I'll follow this one a bit more.

This weeks episode was really good. It is steadily improving in my opinion.

Costco!!
