You know how it is with the traveling type. We're never really anywhere for long.

Modern Family

Modern Family is a hoot. Think of Arrested Development, in that it is focused on family groups and it's tightly-written, but then don't think too much because (1) Arrested Development is a masterpiece and (2) Modern Family relies on more realism than AD did. But that's not to say that Modern Family isn't excellent. Every character is likable and easy to relate to (I would love to not tell my family I was adopting until after I had obtained the baby). Sometimes they go a little over-the-limit on the loving family thing, but it's usually adequately funny in the rest of the episode to make up for it (I don't like my comedies to be mushy).



How's that for battery!

    So when you watch that Robin Sparkles video on YouTube, there's a link in the related videos to one called "Sandcastles in the Sand," which I almost like better. It's a tough call.

    Who is that character on the show? What's her deal?

    Robin is sort of the Rachel of HIMYM...she's looking for love in New York while pursuing her dream career. But Robin used to be a canadian pop-star when she was a teenager, and those were her two hit singles. I love Sandcastles in the Sand. But Let's Go To The Mall is so peppy!
