    Phil goes to La La Land

    I've enjoyed S10 overall, and this is another good episode.

    The Cam/Mitch story was well played, and it's nice to see them using the character of Lilly more.

    While I think they've been paired together a bit too often this year I enjoyed the Gloria/Jay story, with Ed O'Neil on top form.

    The best story by far though was the one involving Pepper and Phil, and Nathan Lane is one of those great guest stars who 'Modern Family' can call upon year on year, which is testament to the quality of it.

    I agree with Claire, I'm not mad about the transformation in Alex either, but that's the direction the writers have taken the character I guess.

    I enjoyed this episode.

    Very good episode

    Funniest episode of season 10. Bill is very funny and I hope to see more of him! Pepper and Phil work really well together. Nice also to see Lily having a bigger role, Hope next episodes could focus more on happenings in kids life. Season 10 is focusing too much on "adults" in the family.

    An enjoyable episode

    A good spread of ridiculousness from Phil and Pepper. Good story line with Lilly. They can do more with that...though they probably won't.

    Alex plot was forgettable...but didn't detract from the rest.

    When's the last time I gave a MF episode a 7.

    It's been such a long time....

    • Trivia
      The scene with Pepper and Phil at the La La Land bench is one of the rare times in the show where an entire scene unfolds in one continuous take. This is due to the fact that this was shot on location and the lighting would only be perfect for so long, so they needed to get the scene done as fast as possible before the sun came up.

      Phil Dunphy: Well, that's the first time I've slow-cooked ribs for a showing.

      Pepper Saltzman: Mother's recipe.

      Phil Dunphy: So, are you ready to make an offer?

      Pepper Saltzman: [Exhales deeply] I don't know, Phil.

      Phil Dunphy: Don't know what, Pep?

      Pepper Saltzman: I'm just not feeling it. Maybe we should see some more houses?

      Phil Dunphy: No problemo. Um, did you want to look in another neighborhood, or stay right here, in *Hell*!

      Pepper Saltzman: Aah! Oh! I beg your...

      Phil Dunphy: No, I beg! For God's sakes, buy this house! I've worked harder for you than any client in my entire career! I don't know if you're indecisive, sadistic, or just plain crazy!
