All three seemed amazing. Kelsey talked more about her background than Eric did, from viewing time. I think Tom and Padma just went with what they liked. If Anthony Bourdain had been there, Eric would have been more in the foreground.

Josh Altman should not have been so amazed about Corian. It's not an obscure product! I like Josh A because he is driven and he is obviously in love with Heather. It's cool to see.

I really enjoy the show, but I was upset at Adrienne cutting up what looked like a live octupus. They have brains, they are cognizant - I just thought it was awful.

I have enjoyed every post on this thread, thank you all! Seriously! Much appreciated. I just mainlined the last several seasons on POP. I had never seen them. I stopped watching ER when my VCR broke. So, a long time ago! They really redeemed Morris. Neela was good. Abby . . . on and off. Maura Tierney is a great actress though. One scene I saw was so odd. Can't say which season, but one of the laterish ones. Carter delivered a baby and presented it to the mom and it was a baby with a completely healed navel. This show got really careless. I'm going to catch up on the first seasons, thanks, POP!

I can't stream this online. I don't have any problems with Netflix or Amazon. Or any other streaming service. Bravo's site keeps pausing and freezing. And, Top Chef On Demand from my provider is like 2 weeks ago. I'm in Austin TX with Direct TV. I would like to watch it! Is it available elsewhere?

I know!! Alex was an enjoyable character when younger. I think it's the writing and the direction with her role. It's not her acting - she's being told what to act. I think the characterization is reasonable - she's having a tough time at a tough college - but it's too real-world. They should bring her back into the comedy of the show. Meanwhile, Haley and Lily just roll with it all and they have some of the best scenes.

I'm 48 minutes into this and I never want to hear the word hashtag again.

I really enjoy Modern Family. The characters are well-crafted. (The adults are perfect.) I think, however, that Cam and Mitchell talk about being a gay couple too often. They are just a regular married couple. Maybe the show runners want to emphasize the gay aspect, but I think it would be cool if they didn't.

DeDe Pritchett. She owns every episode she's on. I wish we could see her more. Even the mentions of her - her family Christmas letter, her reason for missing Mitchell and Cam's wedding - are hilarious. Where is Javier?

Totally agree, ByTor. I wish they would bring back DeeDee. She wasn't in one episode this season, was she? Hers are some of my favorite episodes. Also, Dylan is comedy gold. I think Luke was a weak spot this season with all his teen horniness. Manny handles it much more tastefully (and gets better results with girls). I like all the other characters a lot. Cam doesn't annoy me. I think all the acting is really good and the show is usually well-written,

I liked Alex as a kid. Ariel Winter is still a good actress - she can really act. However, I think the writers of the show have done a disservice to her. She's portrayed as bitter and - well I don't know what else. Judgmental?
