    I remember when this show was fun and entertaining.

    Whatever the hell this is, it ain't fun and ain't entertaining.

    Claire annoying.

    Gloria annoying.

    Manny/Haley storyline terrible.

    The Nigella Lawson voice was annoying.

    Good lord, not a single redeeming quality about this episode.

    Hmmm...not 5...4 may be too generous.

    One of the reviews doesn't even review lol

    I'm sorry but the guy who gave this episode a 3 doesn't even review lol. He just stated a bunch of characters he doesn't like. If you don't like the show, then don't watch. Certainly don't come online to write up troll reviews and leave fake ratings.

    The episode is funny. It's a highlight from this season and I loved hearing Nigella Lawson with Phil. She always sounds seductive when she's cooking and I like the way they mix this into comedy for the show. The finale of the episode had me actually laughing out loud. Sure the episode isn't perfect and has a few flat moments but all in all this was well performed and the scenes come together nicely.

    One of the best episodes of this season!

    Please ignore the bad review posted here, this was an amazing episode. Phil is in charge of cooking the Thanksgiving turkey this year, and Claire does not trust him, so she has an emergency backup turkey that she hides from him. Jay and Gloria's vacation plans end up getting cancelled, but they decide to lie to the rest of the family to try and get away from them, and that ends up going badly. The plot with Cameron and Mitchell was hilarious, and the sub plot involving Manny and Haley provided some great laughs. I really liked the ending as well. Very well written episode and at this point in the series the show is still going strong!
