"I wish that tart would go back to Columbia and take her weird little Brown friends with her."

Great comedy writing here. It puts the misunderstandings high jinx on Three's Company look like dog crap on a sidewalk. Cameron trying to down the spicy food made for some fun visuals, complete with matted, sweaty hair and glistening face. "I feel like I ate the sun!" is a great line, I don't care what anyone says.

The fat gay makes this show, and yes, the ginger has to be humorless and fussy to let the fatty soar. Julie Bowen does have the thankless task of playing the harried mom character, but her tits easily make up for the lack of comedy gold.

Al Bundy plays it nicely understated. His jogging outfit in the pilot was great, and his faint, but persistent homophobia is a source of subtle comedy. His insistence at ringing the doorbell and announcing his arrival upon coming into the home of his gay son is the faithful adherence to the character. He's still not keen about having a gay, and he winces at all the right moments, but you never get the sense he dislikes his son. A realistic take on a father of a gay adult.

I enjoyed Al's line upon seeing the ginger in the dress: "It looks good on you. You know, if you're that type of a gay."

Phil and the kid (Is his name Luke?) are turning out to be quite the comedic tag team.

DPD.  We don't talk about Modern Family anymore?  Booo...this show is pretty solid.  I know the gays were referred to as comedic AIDS or whatever, but I think the fat bear gay is pretty funny.  Sofia Vergara may be one of the hottest chicks on TV.  Julie Bowener also revs my engines.

I think it's getting less funny. They're reverting to more tired cliched sitcom-type jokes as the series goes on.

Less funny than not funny at all? How can it be?

According to Fangraphs the last episode had a LOLZ of -0.7.

Holy shit dude, do us all a favor and jerk off before you watch fucking sitcoms.  Did you just hit puberty?  Would you like me to buy you a porno mag so you can look at attractive ladies whenever so it's not such a novelty when it comes onto free TV at 8:00pm?

Roasted. The best part is that Vergara wasn't even wearing a bikini. There should be a special thread for Mr. Chuck and IAN to drool over mostly clothed actresses.

I think this is a stupid subject for you to pitch a hissy fit.  I normally dig your posts, too.
