Closing the pipe

Phil has decided not to take any more chances with a surprise like his father-in-law Jay got when his wife Gloria became pregnant. Claire and him decided to undergo a vasectomy process to remedy the situation before it is too late. Getting it done is another story. Phil proves to chicken out after the possible pain he will experience.

Cam is having a fit because as a stay home parent, he feels his life is meaningless without the presence of Lily, who is now going to a prekindergarten school. Ever the theatrical person he is, Cam will look into other avenues where he can make himself useful. Mitch's efforts to help his partner get a job, has the opposite effect on Cam.

Gail Mancuso gets a much positive approach to the way she paced the episode, something that has been lacking at the beginning of this season. This installment was written by Danny Zucker who is involved in the production of this winning series. Ty Burrell gets an opportunity to shine as Phil. Eric Stonestreet's Cam is perfect as the man without a cause, or where to put his energy to good use.

Overall ok

It's another sitcom episode about a dad getting a vasectomy and in the end not going through it because they decide last minute they "aren't ready." Sitcoms always treat vasectomies this way. Like a couple in their 40s with three teenage kids is just going to have another one.

The B story with Gloria, Jay and Manny is a nice touching way to deal with an unexpected pregnancy and the worries that come with it.

I never realized it...but it is tough to

Rate a Modern Family episode. It is however many different stories...and different characters.

Mitch and Cam are excellent in this episode...but it's brought down with weak Phil story...Annoying Gloria being annoying...and Claire being annoying Claire.

7 is easily rewatchable...6 is rewatchable if nothing else on.

I gave this a 5. The Mitch and Cam (mainly Cam) stuff is enjoyable...but the rest...yuck. No thank you.

I've been relatively ok with pretty much everything up until now. They haven't all been great, but never had any issues with the show. At some point...the cracks that are apparent in later seasons, start to form.

They may be forming right about here.
