Originally Posted By amazedncal2 I loved it when Phil was talking to Claire and the potential buyers were overhearing him. Phil naturally assumed he'd sold it because he knew he would I also loved how Jay was trying to "man up" Manny. In the end Jay has learned a lesson and proves it with his sly/sweet gesture with the pennies. Not the best episode but one with lots of sweet chuckles

Happy Endings was especially bad because they used that for the entire episode instead of just one scene. Even Suburgatory, which I actually love, had one.

As the series continues, we see more aspects to each of the characters, not repeated schtick. It's hip and edgy without being mean spirited. That's not easy to do, but Modern Family pulls it off week after week. Great show.
