I Think 'Modern Family' Is The Funniest Show On TV
I just wish during tonight's episode, after they kids "surprised" their parents with breakfast in bed for their anniversary, when the boy said "Whatever they were doing it looked like Dad was winning" I hadn't just taken a drink.

1. Seen it. Think it's solid and certainly above average.
But really don't think it approaches funniest on television. I think it's a bit overrated in the same way Two and a Half Men is/was.

For network shows I'd say Community eclipses it easily. And on cable The League, Sunny and Curb Your Enthusiasm are far funnier.

IMHO, of course.

2. I started watching it recently.
It's much funnier than I thought it would be. I almost died of laughter during the Halloween episode when Gloria said, "He scared the baby cheeses out of me!" :rofl:

Unfortunately, Hulu only has Season 2 available, so I'll have to Netflix Season 1.

3. It is definitely up there imho
I love this show. One of my favorite episodes was when Mitchell was trying to surprise Cam about the Flash Mob song/dance thing, I can't wait til that one repeats.

5. Last night was the first episode I saw
It didn't disappoint but I watched it because of the hype. I think my expectations were a little too high but it was pretty funny. I have to watch more shows, I'm sure some episodes are better than others.

6. It was pretty funny, but I had heard that particular joke before.
Can't remember where, movie or tv show or something.

8. The two gay guys on that show crack me up.
I was rolling at the episode where they left Lilly in the elevator. :rofl:

9. Phil: "I think I am going to pass out" from last night

10. Never seen it.
Heard it's hysterical.
I always watch Criminal Minds at 9 p.m., if I am home. Work second shift. Don't watch a lot of primetime TV. Don't watch shows on-line, either. Don't have TiVo.
