    Side-splitting tale sprinkled with superb physical comedy!

    Catch Of The Day refers to Phil's superstition that if he fails to catch his underwear in the morning, his day will be extremely unlucky. Guess what happens in this episode, then? Throughout the day, Phil is susceptible to falls, cuts, bruises and even the odd taunting. Ty's impeccable physical comedy skills are second-to-one and cements him as one of the most talented and versatile actors to ever grace the screen. The final scene with him at the golf course, featuring a stunning character cameo, is an insanely hilarious, classic scene that will have everyone in stitches!

    Additionally, after breaking her phone, Haley is treated to a few days without the comfort of her device. Sarah steals the episode with her scenes, as she gets transported to a phone-free world, filled with brighter colours, engaging books and even real-life LOL moments. The tag scene is a work of art, as she transitions back to her internet-absorbed ways.

    Mitch and Cam's plot focuses on redoing their kitchen, with Cam constantly stopping the builders from working in order to eavesdrop on his sister. The tensions continue to escalate, culminating in Mitch eavesdropping on Cam in another gorgeous moment of physicality!

    Jay, meanwhile, is convinced that Gloria was in an accident. Jeremy, as Joe, steals the scene as an adorable, little tattletale to his father.

    Overall, this is an insanely hilarious episode, facilitated by the beautiful physical comedy.

    Best episode of the season

    Good jokes and storylines throughout the cast with this one. Mitch and Cam's story was a particular standout.

    It Least Luke and Alex were absent

    Out of all the family's Phil and Claire is the most boring. What drags their stories down is Phil is someone must people would avoid. Including a wife and grown children.

    The blessing of this episode was there was no Alex and no Luke. Alex is not funny and Luke always sounds like he is talking under water.

    Now this episode with the Mitch and Cameron story was stolen out of "Three's Company". (It''s Pipe Tapping).

    It looks like this show is bringing in Cameron's sister (Pam) as a semi regular. That's a great idea however I think it would be funny if they make Haley somehow rooming with her as well.
