Happy Halloween Everyone!
The episode has one of the best openings with Cam counting down the moments until their anniversary has passed. And then their storyline just deteriorates into Cam being ashamed of Mitch & Mitch failing to meet Cam's expectations. Lily & Claire are fun B plot but they mention that they never talk when all we ever see for seasons before is Claire has a lot of influence on Lily. Makes me glad they didn't try the spinoff in Missouri.
And Claire and Phil think she has a secret life or has been abducted or something? Vaguely remember it from about a million years ago. Might've been an earlier episode. Season/episode/ or episode name would be very helpful. Thanks.
The original show description explained why the show was shot in a "mockumentary" style. It stated a Swedish movie director, who formerly was a foreign exchange student in Phil's home, was shooting a documentary on the American family.
I feel like they did Alex dirty, the only time the family really interacts with her is to roll their eyes. What killed me was the episode when she has her melt down and gets herself into Therapy (she sets up her own therapy appointment). She even said in therapy she needed to get herself an eye doctor appointment, it's small but it's so clear that she takes care of herself, which makes sense that she's so angry with her family.
I think it just makes me mad because the show does her so dirty with her relationships. She is barely seen by her family and then just has shitty boyfriends and has no friends, it's a "joke" that she's alone but to me it's sad.
As a die-hard modern family fan, it was incredible to hear Chris say that out loud! So sanguine…
SPOILER ALERT
Missed Intro Segment for Haley
One major missed opportunity was that Haley never got her own intro segment. Adding a fourth part of the intro with Haley, Dylan, and the twins would have been a great way to highlight her growth and acknowledge her new family role. Even updating the intro to exclude her as a symbol of her maturing would have been a nice touch.
Haley’s Stunted Growth
Haley initially showed signs of growing up when she started dating Andy and exploring new jobs. She developed skills and had moments of personal growth, like in the episode where she and Claire came to support Alex’s orchestra performance. After Alex brushed them off to return to her friends and even apologized for Haley talking to them, Haley wondered why Alex would do that if she was just being nice. Claire responded with, "Funny, right?"—a moment reflecting how she herself used to be treated by Haley. This showed Haley's newfound empathy, yet, later on, the writers reverted her back to her old stereotype.
The Missed Opportunity with Andy
Although the actor who played Andy, Adam DeVine, left to pursue other projects, it was disappointing that Haley and Andy didn’t end up together. Their relationship brought out a more mature side of Haley, and seeing her with Dylan instead felt like a return to her less developed self.
Sorry if I got any details wrong I might be a bit rusty on the facts! Thanks for reading, though
He's legendary lol. You can't not laugh when he appears
Season 7 episode 3: The Closet Case
Alex video calls home and Luke answers, then Luke notices a girl getting changed behind Alex, so he keeps her talking while he has a lil perv.
But Alex isn't an idiot and should be able to see what was happening in the small mirror box thingy, because that's how video chatting works, especially with them both using laptops.
Or at the very least she'd have known the girl was there to borrow a dress, or had that sixth sense we get when somebody is behind us.
I blame this sub for making me too critical!
It's all your faults!
SHAME!
From the connection lost episode one thing is quite clear that claire is the lynchpin of dunphy family. She reigns in everyone when they go off track!!! Super Mom!!!
Hi! I’m a huge Modern Family fan I’ve rewatched the series twice however there is this quote I remember Mitchell yelling at Claire once that has always stuck with me and I don’t remember it exactly nor do I remember the episode. I am hoping someone could help me find out which episode this quote was in :)
The quote is something along the lines of “you try to control everyone else because you can’t control your own life” or something along the lines of that?? I’ve been searching for a bit now and I really want to find it.
There are times where I think I’m more of a Pritchett but I think overall I’m more of a Dreamer ! What do you think you are ?
I just wanted to come on here and sort of go on a rant about this show.
I went on sick leave from my job due to some really bad mental health issues. A whole lot of stress and anxiety and depression. I started watching Modern Family the end of August, and today on October 30th, I have finished watching the entire series.
It has done SO MUCH for me. Helped me laugh and smile and feel a lot better. The characters were so lovely, the emotional moments were so sweet and heartwarming, and the jokes made me laugh. I am so happy that I watched this show. I have no issues with it and I had no episodes or moments that upset me. It just made me happy forever and I love the show for existing.
Just wanted to share and hope that other people can relate
I am watching this show for the first time and I have to wonder whether Haley was with all these older men to piss off her parents or something😭like once,twice that can’t be a coincidence😭 And also the plot for some of the characters having crushes on older men and women like omg they just love an age gap relationship😭
I seen little Alex a few episodes ago on Bones, then Cam pops up S2 E16!
I could see him going for Communications or Psychology since he showed a good understanding of the different personalities during the episode Alex is interviewed for a government job (10x7) and it sparked an interest for him or something
