Just got into this great little program

Synopsis - When the Pritchett-Delgado-Dunphy family agrees to be interviewed by a documentary crew, they have no idea just how much they're about to reveal about themselves. Family patriarch Jay Pritchett met the stunning Columbian Gloria Delgado when she bartended in a bikini at the pool party he threw for himself the day his wife left him. Now Jay and Gloria are married and Jay tries hard to keep up with his much younger and hotter wife and her passionate teenage son, Manny. Jay's daughter, Claire, is having a hard time raising her own family. Her husband Phil is great, except for the fact that he thinks he's "down" with their teenage kids, much to their embarrassment. Claire's brother Mitchell and his enthusiastic partner Cameron have just adopted Lily, a precious little baby girl from Vietnam. But when everyone gets together, things are bound to get awkward.


Its very funny and it helps that stars some of the hottest woman in American Comedy



Sofia Vegara character steals the show but it has so many other great characters including the father Phil and grandfather Jay (Ed O'neill)

Say what? Apart from the fact that she's mega hot she's not a great character.

Phil, Cam and Manny are the best.

I just love the way she reacting to things and the way they milk her latin temperament. The looks are helping it though. :lol:

The way Phil deals with his family is gold as well.

This has been getting better and better all series, IMO.

Fair play to them for somehow combining intelligent humour with something for families, and still making it funnier than most things out there.

The 'Phil' charcter, while a blatant rip off of Steve Carell's 'Michael Scott' is absolutely brilliant played.

Nah, it's been consistently great.
It's probably just that you now know the characters better.
I'd have said that if that was what I meant, cockcheese.

I love this show. It has some great little lines in it.

'I'm gonna go gym for a bit do you wanna work out with me?'
'I just ordered an extra long straw for my drink to avoid accidently doing a sit-up'

This show has provided a quote that's up there with Arrested Development's "Oh no it's the cops!.........and a construction worker.." in its legendary hilarity.

Phil: "I dont know why Im afraid of clowns. My mother says it's because when I was a kid I found a dead clown in the woods, but who knows."

Started watching this two days ago and I've just now finished the first season. I'm in love with Claire. Great show.

Really like this show, definitely my favourite new comedy of the year. Hope they can keep the quality up for the second series.

Hard to believe that the guy who play's Cam, Eric Stonestreet, is actually straight in real.

Just shows what a brilliant actor he is then!
