Sunday Jan. 22nd

"Hoffman's Bistro"  Air Date 1-11-12

I know it's easy to throw good money after bad especially if your too close to the problem, but I think well before you get to two million dollars in debt you should be willing to throw in the towel.

Robert seems to like to just go around and break things and then leave the mess for everyone else to clean up.

Here's some free advice. Never ever work with family, nothing good can ever come of it.

It's about time that they have a restaurant that they don't have done on time.  It always seems suspicious that they get finished mere minutes before they need to open every single week.

There seems to be like three hundred people waiting for the restaurant to open up.  There's no possible way that they could feed all those people especially if you consider that they are not even opening till after 8 at night.  Also do you think that the meals are comped for the people while the crew is filming,  I can understand waiting around two hours if its your friends restaurant, or if you are going to get a free meal, but to wait that long to sit in a crowded restaurant with a kitchen that's learning a new menu doesn't seem like anything I'd ever do.

You'd think that with the amount of work the crew is doing and the amount of money the show is spending there would be nothing off limits and the family wouldn't be allowed to say you can't film that.

Did they already have a liquor license?  If not you'd think it would take longer than two days to get one.

For this show being on the food network, it always seems to spend the majority of the time on the redesign of the restaurant and very little on the food itself.

"JFK to LAX" Air Date 1-8-12

I never like it when a show jumps forward in time a great number of years between seasons.  It always seem that the writers have started to run out of ideas and need to do this just so they can spend half the season reintroducing all the cast that we already know.  It screams of laziness.

That kid is awfully big for two and a half.  He looks more like almost five.

Samurai Apocalypse was wearing dog tags that were too close to his mike.  When ever he was on screen he was hardly able to be heard over the clanging of the dog tags.

And in complete contrast to Runkle's son, Bekah who is supposed to now be in college looks to be about 16.

"Egg Drop"  Air Date 1-11-12

I'm having a hard time coming up with anything to say about Modern Family.  I don't want to just recap the episode, and the show is constantly funny so if I were to write about what mad me laugh it's easier to say everything than try and list all the good parts.  I guess its safe to say the show always delivers and outside of a few episodes in the second season is one of the best shows on television today, and this episode is a classic example of how they do things right.

I do like it better when the three families are more intertwined with each other.  This episode Cam and Mitchel's story arc took place entirely without any other family members involvement.

"Meat the Parrots" Air Date 1-11-12

The racists parrot was pretty funny.  They did a good job of working it so every possible group that he could say something about came in contact with him.

As someone who knows a number of people I share a birthday with, (Mr. T., Andre the Giant, Joey Ramone, Malcolm X, Pete Townshend) it was nice to see that Brad knew who he shared a birthday with.  Although he left off Bart Simpson and for as current referential as this show is you'd think they would have included that.

I'm glad that Sunday is the start of a new week because I might have to go back on my saying that Jon Hamm had the best guest appearance this week because Ed Begley Jr.'s scenes were hilarious.  This show does a great job getting people to make guest appearances.

I also like how every week the six of them seem to split up into different groups in every episode.  It adds to the belief that they are all real friends and could hang out with anyone within there circle.  Most shows never attempt to have the characters that connected with each other.
