Modern Family/Cougar Town

Modern Family – Dance Dane Revelation
     Who hasn’t wanted to run after a scent-application specialist in the mall?  Especially one who has just sprayed you with cologne and blinded you or made your mouth taste of something you most likely don’t like enough to buy.  I know I am less likely to buy something if it’s been sprayed on me without my consent.  So, when Phil lost it and chased the cologne guy around the store, I totally understood.  Not to mention the fact that Jay had been all over him all day for letting people walk all over him.  Mr. Nice Guy Phil finally hit his breaking point and lost it, although maybe it should have been directed at Jay instead of the salesman.
     Gloria stole Claire’s thunder at the school dance, and I actually felt badly for both of them.  I saw both of their points of view, and could see why it was important to each of them that they succeed.  However, since I am far more a Claire than a Gloria, I would have to side with her on this one.  Gloria shouldn’t have come along and tried to put her stamp on the dance as co-chair, when it really was Claire’s thing.  There have to be other events at the school where Gloria could make her mark.
     I though the Lily being a biter storyline was pretty funny.  It was especially cute that they kept saying that she was biting when it was so incredibly obvious that the little actress wasn’t anywhere near biting at all.  My favorite line of the night was when Cam was belting Lily into her car seat, and after the second time she bit him, he said, “It’s like Twilight back here.”  That comment REALLY made me laugh.

Cougar Town – The Same Old You
     Where the hell is BARB???  Is she so busy on General Hospital she hasn’t had time to do her one-liner on Cougar Town?  I think this is the third episode in a row without a Barb fix. 
     I am SO glad it looks like they are going to address the chemistry between Travis and Laurie.  I know it’s probably a bad idea to put these two together, since there is a pretty big age gap and she is one of his mother’s best friends, but their banter and behavior really are forcing them to at least look at it.  The two actors have such great chemistry together, and it would be natural for Travis to at least have a crush on Laurie, so I really think they do have to at least look at it.  I am glad it came up in this episode, and look forward to them exploring it more.
     Where is Bobby going to live now?  Jules had a spare room after Travis moved out, but it’s a jam room now.  She does kind of owe him, since she was the one who sunk his houseboat.  I would guess it would also cause some fun tension between Bobby, Grayson, and Jules if Bobby moved into her house.  Maybe he will move in with Andy and Ellie.  Or maybe he will do well in the golf tournament he was qualifying for, and will be able to buy a house.
