Over the course of 11 seasons, ABC's long-running hit comedy series Modern Family has taken the Pritchetts, Dunphys, and Tuckers across the country and around the world. From Hawaii to Australia… Wyoming to Disneyland… Las Vegas to Lake Tahoe to New York… it's safe to say our on-screen family has definitely left its marks on […]
In the spirit of the holidays, I thought it would be fun to compile a list of the holiday episodes of one of my favorite animated shows running, TBS's American Dad! I have a special place in my heart for both this show and Family Guy— especially their musical numbers. One major pet peeve: the […]
This week's episode of ABC's Modern Family was a bit weak. It was a bit of a filler just to get us to the holidays. It had a couple of good moments here and there, but not too much that really stood out even as I am thinking about it now. This season of Modern […]
With ABC's long-running hit comedy series Modern Family set to shuffle off the network's programming coil after eleven seasons, Bleeding Cool's Alejandra Bodden is offering viewers an episode-per-episode critical look at the final season (with her recent review of "The Last Thanksgiving" here). Because let's face it: after over a decade on the air, everyone's […]
In order to fill the emptiness left behind with the lack of ABC's Modern Family this week and in honor of Thanksgiving week, I decided to commemorate the things about the show that I am most thankful for. Quite honestly, there were too many so I settled on three core topics that really impact me […]
Then again, it also serves as a good set-up for how both are handling their respective "mid-life crises".[caption id="attachment_1121682" align="alignnone" width="2000"] MODERN FAMILY - (ABC/Tony Rivetti) ELI GELB, SARAH HYLAND, ARIEL WINTER[/caption]To thank the family for their support, Hailey (Sarah Hyland) volunteered to make the Thanksgiving dinner with her siblings[...]

I am incredibly happy to report that ABC's Modern Family actually took me pleasantly by surprise this week. Considering this season has run hot and cold so far, this was a strong outing. It seems they are setting up some groundwork as the episodes go by that might seem to hint at the future – […]
With this season's fifth episode, ABC's Modern Family definitely lived up to expectations. Not only was it a fun episode, but it also made me nostalgic for the earlier seasons when the story and the characters were so on point that it made us actually feel. This episode really took me by surprise—it did not […]
Holiday episodes are always the best in ABC's Modern Family – and I especially look forward to the Halloween episodes. This episode's name is giving me all the feels, however… I mean, we knew this day would come but I am not sure we were ever going to be prepared for the last one. The […]
In an attempt to fill the hole in my television heart created by the lack of ABC's Modern Family this week, I decided to fill the void by gathering my favorite moments of the series. Quite honestly, there were too many so I settled for some-of-the-best moments of Modern Family. Otherwise I would keep you […]
With this week's episode of ABC's Modern Family Season 11, we are almost back on track with one of our favorite shows… almost. "Pool Party" pretty much followed 3-4 storylines, and while the outing was a vast improvement on earlier in the season – there's still one ongoing problem that continues to annoy me with […]
He has sworn to do right by his ex-wife, Amanda, and his daughter, Hailey, which means no booze, sex, drugs or killing.Happy, meanwhile, is resigned to keeping his partner on the straight and narrow while coping with the fact that a maturing Hailey can no longer see him Sax’s fresh start will be tested by[...]
Patrick Fischler (Smoothie) returned the favor with a shout-out to Taylor as well as urding fans to watch the episode live:https://twitter.com/theunrealBT/status/1133769765007319040https://twitter.com/PFischler/status/1133771246389174273Now here's hoping Happy! "Resurrection" answers at least half of the questions we have going in, including:● Can Sonny Shine “Make Easter Great Again” – or will he literally die trying?● Is Orcus (Ritchie Coster)[...]
Combining flame with oxygen tank in a move that would make MacGyver proud, Amanda goes hardcore flamethrower not only on the Wishees but also on those alien Fruit Gushers she gave birth to.Was it as disturbing as it just read? Oh, trust us: it was a ton more disturbing than that...That's just a small part[...]
Aong with that, we have Sax (Christopher Meloni), Amanda, and Happy (Patton Oswalt) getting Saw'd by Smoothie (Patrick Fischler), forced to play his game if they want Hailey (Bryce Lorenzo) back - or what's left of her back.So with that level of crazed momentum barrelling towards season finale "Resurrection," it's only fitting that the fine[...]
Even though Sonny Shine's (Christopher Fitzgerald) show isn't going on? We can't shake this feeling that some kind of show is going to go on - if Orcus (Ritchie Coster) has anything to say about this since it fits his "bigger picture." That plan also involves Smoothie (Patrick Fischler), who's co-opted Sax (Christopher Meloni) and[...]
In fact, take a few minutes after you're done here for a "reminder read" of our review here.Good thing, too: from what we can see in the following two previews for this week's "A Friend of Death," Sax (Christopher Meloni) and Happy (Patton Oswalt) are starting to connect the dots on Smoothie's (Patrick Fischler) connections[...]
Along those lines, having Amanda potentially giving birth to some kind of human/alien "messiah" hybrid is just the level of insanity that I was expecting from this season - it's reputation was built upon convincing us we "weren't ready" -and they're living up to it.● Christopher Meloni look like what we would get if Christopher[...]
Reason why we're already optimistic about this week's outing? The following two previews focus on Happy and Little Bo Peep (Jamie Elizabeth Kelton): the highlight from last week.In the first preview, Bo Peep is starting to feel a bit of a "clingy" vibe from Happy - and we're not sure she's having any of it;[...]
