"Modern Family"
Now this is one funny damn show. Wednesday's at 9 on ABC, if you hadn't heard. Watching last night's episode this morning on the DVR, I found myself laughing out loud at least a dozen times. I know comedy is hard, but why can't there be more shows like this?
--------
One minor quibble: I don't believe Cam and Mitchell have ever...you know....um....fucked. No, I don't buy for a moment that they have ever had intercourse. Maybe all the writers on MF are het, but damn, Cam and Mitchell are the least sexy couple on TV. How about an open mouthed kiss, or some groping? It's possible that the network doesn't allow these two to really get down and dirty with each other, but when I watch this supposedly gay couple interacting I just don't buy it. Sexing up this relationship would make the show even better, which would give "30 Rock" a run for its money as the best sitcom going. Possibly the actors just aren't good enough to make this facet of the show work.
Now Claire and Phil? I think they just did it five minutes ago. Man, the sexual energy between these two characters is out of sight. I definitely believe the Dunphys are fucking every single damn night and twice on Saturdays. And their kids are hilarious. The Dunphys are the funniest sitcom family since the golden age of "The Simpsons" (which hasn't been good in many years). Just a look from Phil into the camera is usually enough to make me giggle with delight. Great stuff.
And Jay and Gloria.... Well, they are probably doing OK in the bedroom. But you know Jay is using mega doses of Viagra or whatever boner pills he can scrounge up. I don't do accents, so Gloria doesn't really do it for me. And she's a bit too much in a lot of ways. But Manny is one of the great children's characters I can ever remember being on TV.

A great show that has gotten even better in its second season.
