Modern Family Review: "Disneyland" (Episode 3.22)
For this week’s Modern Family episode, the Dunphy and Pritchett clans spend the entire day together at a Southern California theme park. We’ll give you one guess which park. Hint: It’s not Knott’s Berry Farm or Legoland. The 30-minute infomercial show takes place almost entirely at Disneyland. (And Disney owns ABC Television.)... read more

Modern Family is in a bit of a slump. After “The Last Walt” episode, which we thought would play tribute to the Dunphy’s late, grumpy neighbor, the show chose to focus on other things—like Luke’s lack of emotion and Claire’s weird smiley reaction to bad news. Unfortunately, that episode never got off the ground. read more
Found in: TV, ReviewsModern Family Review: "The Last Walt" (Episode 3.20)
With a title like “The Last Walt,” we were expecting a lot from this week’s Modern Family episode. We imagined the possibilities of exploring Luke’s friendship with his crotchety neighbor Walt (played by Philip Baker Hall), and the fallout from the old man’s death. It’s usually not sitcom fodder, but we believe that if anyone could make light of a dark subject, it’s Modern Family creator Steve Levitan. read more

This week's episode, "Election Day" is the culmination of a story arc that began earlier in the season with "Door to Door" when Claire decides to run for city council after the incumbent councilman Duane Bailey (David Cross) blows off her request for a stop sign at a dangerous intersection. read more

After a riotous episode that left us with memorable catchphrases like “monsterating” and “Satan’s trifecta,” Modern Family returned this week with a new episode, “Send Out the Clowns.” Yes, we laughed, we cried—but not nearly as much as the “Leap Day” episode. read more

Modern Family's attempts at holiday episodes this season have been disappointing: Putting Christmas together in a day for "Express Christmas" wasn't much of a gift for fans, and no Clive Bixby appearance on Valentine's Day only added to the episode's woes. But then along comes "Leap Day," which we now think should be turned into a national holiday, thanks to Phil Dunphy and Cam Tucker. read more

This week’s Modern Family focused on the issue of surrogate mothers vs. adoption for gay parents. Thankfully, the episode didn’t fall into the trappings of A Very Special Blossom... or an after-school special. It dealt with the issues in a very adult manner: by downing lots of alcohol. read more

After a few weeks off, ABC’s top-rated comedy Modern Family returned this week with a Valentine’s-themed episode. Sort of. Unlike the past Valentine’s Modern Family episodes, which focused on Phil wooing Claire (remember his alter ego Clive Bixby?), this episode spread the love—and the green-eyed monster—equally among the Dunphy and Pritchett family members. read more
