I had never noticed how similar the voices of Matt and Kevin Dillon were.

I can't blame him...I'd be just as protective.

Agree, though. Always thought she was a pretty girl, but her costume choices last night? I believe the technical term is "jailbait".

No. Haley is played by Sarah Hyland, who is 20. Notice the "airport episode" when Haley thinks the guy in the airport is hot, partly because he is reading a book and sketching, and then she finds out he is drawing a cartoon and is really only 14. Well, Haley is only 15 in the show. Apparently she likes older guys.

"Happy Valenbirthaversary"

Didn't care about the Cam/Mitchell story though.

LOL, that was great! Sign me up for one

It was hilarious seeing Gloria's poor karaoke skills and listening to her saying she would kill Phil for every one of his mistakes.

Also enjoyed the bit with Claire's massage and Phil's "Tijuana prostitute" comment!

Well, the first part of the haircut looked fun, but after she found out what he did "wrong," and started describing how she'd kill someone for those offenses, while brandishing the scissors next to his ears, I'll pass.

Manny at the end of the episode:

"You keep this up, and this won't be the last plug I pull."

I actually thought Jay sounded pretty good, so I didn't understand Manny's objection. Maybe he just wanted some peace and quiet

Ed O'Neil can in fact carry a tune. Manny either wanted quiet or simply did not want another karaoke addict in the house

Last night's episode proved yet again this is the funniest show on TV. So many great lines, and the van gag was classic.
post #435 of 627
"I can't be satisfied" LMAO...
post #436 of 627
Some of those double-entendres surprised me. The Sondheim joke particularly was borderline-tasteless. But hilarious. Also, the carpet/drapes line was racier than usual for this show. But also hilarious.

Great episode! I saw the van thing coming, but it was still hilarious!

"I love the F word"...LOL
post #439 of 627
Just hilarious.

Gloria: "Where I come from, brothers respect each other."

Jay: "That's why Colombia is such a peaceful utopia."

Great lines + great delivery + NO LAUGHTRACK = A terrific show.
post #441 of 627
I felt different then most of you. Just a few laughs during this (Jay and Gloria one of them). The rest wasn't so good for me. One of the weaker shows in awhile. Still a good show, but not to the caliber I am use to on this show.

And to think it was ABC who canned the funniest show in the history of television because the producers refused to add a laughtrack...

What are you talking about "ABC canned"?
post #444 of 627
Very VERY funny! Great episode! Two great sight gags, the Van and the F word. It's easy to see why this show is on top.

ABC cancelled "Police Squad!" after only six episodes because the producers refused to add a laughtrack. "Police Squad!" was the funniest series ever. Times have changed; ABC supports the hilarious "Modern Family" although it has no laughtrack.

I could almost see the "word" mishap.. it came out funnier that I expected

No argument from me that Police Squad was super funny...but I don't remember Frank or Ed being as hot as Sofia and Julie

And we are talking about 1980's TV vs 2011 TV.....

M*A*S*H succumbed to network pressure and added the laugh-track. Only some scenes (such as the OR scenes) were left laugh-free to convey the seriousness of the matter.

Another solid episode this week though not quite as funny as last week's.

"Once, she gave me a woody"...LOL!

Also enjoyed the bonding between Alex and Haley.
