The only reason Seasons 9, 10 & 11 are rated this low is because Seasons 1-5 set an impossibly high bar.

Maybe it felt different waiting week to week when it aired, but when you binge watch the whole show now, the drop off in the last two seasons really isn't that noticeable. Still pure comfort TV.

​Theory: Luke got his magic abilities from Claire.

7 Upvotes

We've seen Luke and Phil bond over magic, and we know how proud Phil is of Luke's abilities. That being said, Phil only ever seems to be pretty good with magic, nothing too special.

​However, in the Season 8 Valentine's episode, "Do You Believe in Magic", we see Claire learning magic in a very short span of time and performing acts that seem at or even beyond Phil's abilities.

​Therefore, I propose that Claire is the one with the natural magic affinity and inclination, and Luke inherited them from her, not from Phil. Maybe subconsciously that is one of the things that attracted Phil to her.

Discussion Underrated moment that makes me laugh so hard...what is yours?

Mine is when Cam walks into Mitch's office and Mitch is trying to act busy so he cuts a post-it in half and then immediately staples it back together lmao it is so stupid and funny. I love JTF's physical comedy so much 😂


r/Modern_Family • • 8h ago

I’m posting these pics of Claire and Luke because they’re such an underrated and underused duo. Also I’m posting these because they remind me of my oldest child and I when he was little, now he’s a teen and I’m not coping.

Just found out that Luke was going to University of Oregon just as Ty burrell went irl. That's a good detail.

Discussion I couldn’t figure out the reason I enjoyed this show so much when it was first shown to me years ago. Till I did.

103 Upvotes

It’s the absolute savage background jokes. Like they accidentally say something and someone else half reacts to it and just decides not to cause it might be even worse.

Best example I can think of is

Mitch being like “follow the ‘birthday flag’”

Cam turns and says “what did you call me?” Notices the flag that says birthday and says “oh”

There’s so so many though. I’m noticing them so much more with my second watch.

I mean the way Cam's character is whimsical and iconic is just >>>

Also, the fact that he's straight irl is just insane, I mean WOW!

I feel no one else could portray Cameron Tucker the way Eric Stonestreet did ✨

Discussion As a lover of magic and wonder, whose side would Phil take in the fight between Kelly Clarkson and Art of Play?

0 Upvotes

Kelly Clarkson is feuding with Art or Play - a boutique in Brooklyn that sells toys and curiosities while also hosting magic shows - because the shop refused to sell her an item in the shop and implied that Kelly could not afford the item.
The shop did not realize who she was, and now feels unfairly harassed by KC fans. Many feel Art of Play’s responses to Kelly’s account of events have focused on the wrong issue. Kelly’s story is about the poor customer service she received, but the shop’s defense focuses on the item not really being for sale despite labeling it with a price.

Would Phil be team Kelly or team Art or Play?

Krista Levitan, the show's writer-Steve Levitan's then wife. Her name comes up in the list of people in Claire's contacts when she pulls it up to call her family.

The Christian Miglio in Haley's facebook comments on the relationship status post of her getting married is the Editor of Modern Family!

And Jim Bagdonas who liked Haley's said post is Lead Cinematographer in MF

South Pole Episode

My daughter is studying physics in college. She told me this weekend that she was invited to help on a research project named IceCube that is locating neutrinos in Antarctica. Apparently the main investigator, Francis Halzen, won a Nobel prize last weekend for the work.

I just thought, wait this sounds familiar, lol. I told my daughter about the episode and she said that is exactly what she would be studying.

It is even more hilarious since my daughter looks very similar to Alex.

No one does miscommunication well like Modern family. I'm currently rewatching the cupcakes episode when Gloria accidentally sent the email to Claire,when she goes to their house to apologize,Claire misunderstands, thinking she's talking about what the kids saw them doing it with Phil, it's hilarious 😂😂😂

I'd love to know,which other miscommunication scenes were your favorite in the show?
