      Claire Dunphy: [On the phone] Hey Mitchell, Claire. Saturday morning. Look, I need you to buy Mom a birthday present and say it's from the both of us. Okay, thanks. Bye-bye... No, I know it's not a voicemail, I just don't want to hear you whine about it.

    Had enough

    That it, I'm out. This show has just got worse and worse since the start of season 5. The characters have just gone to the extreme that they just aren't funny anymore and the writing is poor, lazy and obvious. It's become slapstick. If that's your thing then enjoy, but I've had enough. In the first four seasons there was some very clever writing, where some event at the start would have consequence later in the show with the occasional clever twist delivery with perfection. Now it's just people acting stupid and falling over etc. I keep expecting a drum roll or trumpet sound at the end of each scene. In the last few seasons there have probably been two or three half decent episodes, but I can't sit through an entire 20 plus episodes in the hope of one or two good ones. Also, how much surgery has Claire had and what's with Hayley mouth this season!
