Modern Family 1x11

Jay doesn’t like Manny’s father, Javier, Gloria’s ex. “I don’t like the guy,” he explains. “Do I have reasons? Yeah. Good reasons? Yeah! How many reasons do I need? None. I don’t like the guy!” Jay’s funny! He doesn’t understand how Gloria could fall for his suave moves, and he resents the fact that Javier lets his son down so often. But late at night, the guys bond, talking about pool, motor bikes, and baseball. Before you know it, Javier has charmed Jay. Of course, gorgeous Gloria is furious! When swanky no-show stood up Jay, he’s learned his lesson. The story of Phil suffering from a kidney stone, with Claire jumping into a sexy outfit when they call 911, is the kind of awkward stuff I can’t appreciate. For their part Mitchell and Cameron are up all night, not so much because baby Lily is crying, but because they are arguing whether to ferberize her or not (i.e., letting her cry until she falls asleep rather than comforting her every minute of the night). Also not funny.
