The Humor is Back!

Modern Family.  This episode of Modern Family had more laughs than the entire season of HIMYM has had thus far.  Manny was on his game, Jay was great, Phil and Claire were funny, and Luke hit it out of the park yet again. Not to mention the great guest star bit from Nathan Lane.

Luke has had an amazing season thus far on Modern Family. For a character that didn't have much to offer in the first season, the writers/producers/whoever have turned him into one of the funniest parts in the show. His one-liners are seemingly non-stop, and as I discussed in the HIMYM thread, they keep him as a side character...#winning.

He is able to be a completely comic character, and it works so well for him. Now if we could just get a bit more of Manny in the coming episodes the show would really be on a roll. In the first season, Manny ruled the show with his hilarious tiny adult act. We need it back.

Also seeing Jay hang out with his son and his gay friends was touching - as Jay is a bit older and they seem to be fans of classic movies and divas of the past - they have a lot to talk about together. Nathan Lane was annoying, but not to the point it hurt the show. His character was actually pretty funny.

I could go into depth about the situations that arose in the episode, but you should really just go and watch it. It was a great week for Modern Family and they have brought the humor back to TV.

Until the next epsiode...
