Modern Family: Season 4, Episode 22 – “My Hero”

Posted on May 9, 2013 by Kip Mooney

KIP MOONEY: By confining the families to one location, Modern Family exponentially increases its success of having multiple stories gel. My most frequent complaint is that Modern Family always feels like every character has to be involved in some way,…

Modern Family: Season 4, Episode 19 – “The Future Dunphys”

Posted on April 5, 2013 by Kip Mooney

KIP MOONEY: This week’s Modern Family strikes me as among the best, if not the best, of a strong season. Even with multiple stories, the writers have woven them together beautifully, delivering an episode with laughs upon laughs and just…

Modern Family: Season 4, Episode 18 – “The Wow Factor”

Posted on March 28, 2013 by Kip Mooney

KIP MOONEY: Much like family, sometimes it’s good to take a break from Modern Family. When you see them again, you’re hopefully happy for the reunion, but a little wary of their habits that drive you nuts. So it was…

Modern Family: Season 4, Episode 16 — “Best Men”

Posted on February 28, 2013 by Kip Mooney

KIP MOONEY: Modern Family never met a sitcom trope it didn’t like. That’s usually OK because the writers typically find a to tweak them so it doesn’t quite seem like we’ve seen it before. Unfortunately, this week’s episode failed to…

Modern Family: Season 4, Episode 15 — “Heart Broken”

Posted on February 15, 2013 by Kip Mooney

KIP MOONEY: In relationships, sometimes you have to try new things. You’ve got to break up the routine, do a little role-playing or be totally spontaneous.

And so it was with this week’s episode of Modern Family. Not just with…

Modern Family: Season 4, Episode 14 – “A Slight at the Opera”

Posted on February 8, 2013 by Kip Mooney

KIP MOONEY: It’s episodes like this that remind me that Modern Family is sometimes a show divided against itself. There’s the sharp, hilarious stories it tells for its best episodes and the aggressively mediocre ones it uses to pad out…

Modern Family: Season 4, Episode 13 – “Fulgencio”

Posted on January 25, 2013 by Kip Mooney

KIP MOONEY: I’ll just come right out and say it: the last five minutes of this week’s episode are the funniest since the pilot’s introduction of Lily. That Godfather parody is so spot-on, so hilarious, that I just want to…

Modern Family: Season 4, Episode 11 — “New Year’s Eve”

Posted on January 11, 2013 by Kip Mooney

KIP MOONEY: I love when Modern Family gets some edge. There are the occasional bawdy jokes that were bound to fly right over the heads of most of the show’s younger viewers. By leaving the kids at home, this week’s…

Modern Family: Season 4, Episode 10 — “Diamond in the Rough”

Posted on December 14, 2012 by Kip Mooney

KIP MOONEY: Modern Family has a gift for extracting great moments out of unnecessary plotlines. That makes this episode’s title especially true. This episode really only needed one story: Claire and Cam’s dreams of flipping a house from a Rockford Files extra…

Modern Family: Season 4, Week 7 — “Arrested”

Posted on November 9, 2012 by Kip Mooney

KIP MOONEY: Well, that was an interesting experiment while it lasted. After spending the first part of the season without Haley, she’s now returning to the Dunphy house, having been kicked out of school.

See, Haley got caught underage drinking,…
