    I never realized it...but it is tough to

    Rate a Modern Family episode. It is however many different stories...and different characters.

    Mitch and Cam are excellent in this episode...but it's brought down with weak Phil story...Annoying Gloria being annoying...and Claire being annoying Claire.

    7 is easily rewatchable...6 is rewatchable if nothing else on.

    I gave this a 5. The Mitch and Cam (mainly Cam) stuff is enjoyable...but the rest...yuck. No thank you.

    I've been relatively ok with pretty much everything up until now. They haven't all been great, but never had any issues with the show. At some point...the cracks that are apparent in later seasons, start to form.

    They may be forming right about here.

    • Trivia
      Haley appears in only one scene because Sarah Hyland was recovering from kidney surgery at the time of filming.
    • Goofs
      When Jay is driving down the street whilst talking to Phil, who is running alongside the car, the steering wheel of the car is turned to the right even though the car is clearly traveling in a straight line.
    • Quotes

      Jay Pritchett: I've always seen life like a series of doors. Sometimes you get to choose the door you go through; sometimes you don't get that choice. But you still gotta walk through it. So either you can go through kicking and screaming, or walk through with your head held high. And since I don't get to choose the door I'm about to go through, I just pray it's a healthy, happy kid. And a boy.
