Julie Bowen had some good moments but I thought that was a really terrible episode.

But I was just refering to the bad news about Community & Cougar Town breaking so close together.

huh.

during this ep of The Middle there is a scene where sue is talking to the older brother and a pink jacket keeps jumping around the shot with every cut and disappearing and reappearing. it is very distracting

Huh- I didn't notice that.

I've come to the conclusion that, with the exception of Happy Endings, ABC's Wednesday night lineup is an embarrassment of winning comedic performances on shows that I don't otherwise care for at all.

Gave up on Suburgatory so I'd agree.

Like, if your only requirement for a solid sitcom is funny people being funny, you could do much worse.

there is so much talking on this thread about the other shows that aren't modern family...modern family is pretty much the best comedy.
― humba (NZA), Thursday, 22 March 2012 19:09 (twelve years ago) link
the little segments over the closing credits in modern family (like the one when everyone's talking about gloria's mispronunciations) >>> pretty much any other entire 30 min sitcom on the air now.
― humba (NZA), Thursday, 22 March 2012 19:10 (twelve years ago) link
sorry modern family hasn't been great since season 1 (maybe halfway thru season 2 to be generous)
― Mordy, Thursday, 22 March 2012 19:12 (twelve years ago) link
The best ABC comedy on Wednesday is Happy Endings

NZA must be an Emmy voter because afaict those are the only people who are still excited about Modern Family

The little pre-opening-credits vignette yesterday with Phil Dunphy in the doctor's office was pretty funny. I don't remember word for word but they were talking about the real estate market:
[Doctor behind Dunphy, putting on a glove.]Dunphy: Well, it's a buyer's market so if you're a seller, y'know...Doctor: Bend over.Dunphy: Right, so it's not great for them, but...Doctor: No, bend over.

Modern Family is still funny, don't get me wrong

Showrunner carnage continues as Cougar Town moves to TBS. This seems less contentious though.

A couple of years ago, I started stopping on this occasionally, then started watching whole episodes in syndication (so all jumbled up), and I'm finally watching it from the beginning. Long way to go--I'm halfway into Season 3--but most of the time I love it. Don't know if there's a major drop-off at some point, as there usually is with long-running shows. There's not one of the 10 principals I don't like a lot, putting aside non-entity (so far) Lily. The most surprising thing is that a handful of times--Phil and Claire getting properly married for the first time in Hawaii, for instance--I think it even approaches art.

I think it held up very well over the years (spoiler: Lily becomes an entity, and joins the good cast members. A later addition, not so much). I think Manny is one character that is even better in the latter part of the series.

I have to disagree, I recently encountered a contemporary episode and thought it was utter hack, and I really liked this show at its height.

Took a long break, started up again, and am working through season 6.
I'm laughing because I was mystified by something that returned search results and evidently mystified others too: Mitchell looking at the wedding video at the end of E3, "The Cold."
The show does tail off, but there's almost always a few things that make me laugh in every episode.

One thing this show does really well is work in guest appearances from well-known people: Catherine O'Hara and Andrea Martin (Martin Short was pretty good too), Steve Zahn, Ray Liotta, Kelsey Grammar, Matthew Broderick, etc. Not to mention all the semi-regulars like Fred Willard and Shelly Long. (I consulted a list to jog my memory--I didn't even that was Edward Norton as the Spandau Ballet guy!)
― clemenza, Wednesday, 28 October 2020 14:43 (three years ago) link
Fred Willard was so, so enjoyable on this show.
