Title: Modern Family
Post by: duckman2000 on October 30, 2009, 12:25:42 AM: ABC posted some clips on Youtube, unfortunately they are all scene clips when the best bits are really the one-liners from Ed O'Neill. Show is fucking awesome though.

Post by: duckman2000 on October 30, 2009, 11:56:29 AM: I sort of like all the characters, which is rare for any show to accomplish. But yeah, Ed O'Neill is obviously chief.

"Am I driving him to school or is he riding his burro?”

Yeah that was a pretty funny line.

I just think the dad is an annoying character and not that believable.

It's sharp and charming. Nothing outrageous or shocking about it, and it doesn't feel like a bunch of stand-up comedians fighting over lines. There's a gay couple so it's a bit gay for sure.

Post by: duckman2000 on October 30, 2009, 09:04:17 PM: Well, the show isn't for everyone, but the pilot really just establishes the characters.

Costco episode's one of my favorites so far.

Post by: Agent Whiskers on November 03, 2009, 08:51:40 AM: Great show. I was reading Nolan North's (of :drake fame) imdb profile and read that he's appearing on this week's episode (episode 7). Hope he's guest starring and not shmucking around as an extra.

Post by: duckman2000 on November 19, 2009, 02:41:37 PM: Didn't really feel Norton's character. Felt like a waste, and the whole story thread there was a bit meh. Jay is as awesome as ever, though.
Title: Re: Modern Family
Post by: BobFromPikeCreek on November 19, 2009, 04:23:32 PM: Sweet. Didn't know we had a thread for this show. Watched episode 1 yesterday and it was awesome. If it's consistently this funny it could rival 30 Rock for funniest network comedy.
Title: Re: Modern Family
Post by: duckman2000 on November 19, 2009, 08:58:02 PM: It has its ups and downs, but it's overall real good. Given the track record of things, I wouldn't be surprised if it got canceled. Seems to happen to whatever new show of the season I take a liking too, so it's basically doomed.
Title: Re: Modern Family
Post by: Yeti on November 19, 2009, 11:14:04 PM: I thought it was doing pretty well? This is like the only show I laugh out loud at multiple times each episode AND find really heart warming. No matter their differences they still love each other. :heart
Title: Re: Modern Family
Post by: duckman2000 on November 20, 2009, 01:20:23 AM: Yeah, feels like a proper family. It's still TV comedy, but most of the main characters and their family dynamics seem believable and natural. Wish I could say the same for the guest stars.

As for the show running the risk being canceled, that's just my paranoia talking.

Post by: duckman2000 on December 22, 2009, 07:15:29 PM: This is probably only funny to those of us who sort of act like this. And to our spouses.

There is a scene right before this one that is a carbon copy of my parents using Skype. Forehead view and all.

His line at the end of the episode about taking them to Italy killed me

Why can't sitcoms today be this good?
