First, thank you to the people at Hulu for fixing their settings. Modern Family is usually up first thing on Thursdays, but today it was mistakenly unavailable for Hulu+ subscribers. I wasn't able to catch it in real time and was so upset. They updated the settings, and I've watched it twice.
Loved the two episodes. Of course Phil would be ordained just in case, that's the kind of person he is. Claire's voiceover was sweet and ended with a good joke. Haley being mature enough to appreciate Alex's advice and realizing Andy deserved better than Beth AND Haley. Pepper thinking Mitch and Cam are the poor white trash who have a terrible couch and horrible apt. Lily throwing down and picking up that one petal.
I don't understand why Jay thinks so poorly of his friends. This is Jay getting stuck inside his own head, projecting his fears onto others, and letting his imagination go to the worst possible scenario.
Cam's parents overhearing Jay/Deedee's conversation and realizing they don't want the kind of relationship where you don't know the other person's phone number and your presence at major life events is optional.
The only part I didn't like was how Jesse Ferguson played the vows. He was saying "I do" but was shaking his head no. I'm trying to fanwank that he was so stunned that they were actually getting married that he couldn't believe it was happening, but his body language was saying "no!"
I'm good with the season overall. Several episodes I don't care to see again (same as every season on every show) but some real gems, too.
