"hostile frontjunk" would be a good name for a band.

I can't believe he hasn't weighed in yet.

Maaaatlock!!

Eric Stonestreet, who plays Cam, is "openly straight," so maybe he's not too keen on kissing his TV partner anyway. I mean, Heath Ledger and whatshisname went at it pretty hard, but that was for an Oscar.

Vs. Modern Family
I know you don't review both shows, and Donna missed a one-second moment of the background action that seemed to make her angry, but Modern Family is funnier than this show—either your grade should go down, or hers needs to go up…Don't we grade these things on a curve?

I've heard the "girl standing in front of a boy" line before and didn't know what movie it was from. I actually still didn't know afterwards, because I didn't catch her own double-take.

I thought that bit of the episode was hysterical. Luke and Manny looking for ghosts while Phil bangs around in the attic, and then prints a picture of grandma…Very well played.

Didn't Britney say she was going to be performing a song by Ke$ha next week? I somehow don't doubt she was serous.

Strangely, our local grocery store plays classic rock…Pink Floyd, Tom Petty, Steve Miller. It's weird, but I don't really mind.

Was that video all one take? If so, that was pretty awesome.

I think the accent is real, though.

Something that occurred to me recently is that a lot of these modern sitcoms use standard sitcom jokes, but without the studio audience, they can get a lot more of them in and it seems much funnier, somehow.

You did the puzzles in the library's copy?

Oh no…
I can't believe you actually invited the "what are the best seasons of The Simpsons" argument!

I only remember it because the premiere of the Tracey Ulman Show happened on a night when my family and I were stranded in a Scranton, PA motel with a broken down car.

That sounds awful.

You get it started, and I'll run you over.

I'd thought I'd point out that these continuity and consistency problems don't seem as real if you don't follow all the behind-the-scenes work on the show. I doubt most people know there are 3 different creators with 3 (supposedly) different voices.

We named our dog Panic in 1994.

Well, as they pointed out, he's (unwittingly?) chosen girls as his target audience, so maybe it wasn't a bad choice. I think he might not want to be labeled as such, but if that were the case, he'd have lost the Nickelback haircut.
