MODERN FAMILY Recap: ‘The One That Got Away’

And another season comes to an end.

Yes, Wednesday night was the second season finale of MODERN FAMILY and for a show that’s had its ups and down this year, I thought they ended on a high note with this episode. That’s not to say it was the funniest or even the best episode of the season, but it was a great way to wrap everything up while still leaving us wanting more.

This episode had the whole extended family running around like chickens with their heads cut off trying to plan the perfect birthday party for Jay, but this is MODERN FAMILY – of course nothing goes right. In fact, no one had even gotten him a gift yet! (Did that remind anyone else of GLEE with New Directions going to Nationals and yet having no songs? What is it with everyone being unprepared?)

MODERN FAMILY Recap: ‘See You Next Fall’

I’m gonna come out and say it – not only do I think that was the most physical comedy from any episode of MODERN FAMILY I’ve ever seen but I think it was the best use of physical comedy from any episode of MODERN FAMILY I’ve ever seen! I also loved that the families interacted organically with each other. And there was reason; they weren’t just thrown there for the sake of being thrown together — they were going to Alex’s middle school graduation. But of course there were bumps along the road.

The first pratfall of the night occurred when Cameron fell into Lily’s blow-up ducky pool. Honestly, I don’t know what he was doing besides walking that made him fall in, but it was a great way to start the show. And of course, Lily had no reaction at all about it. She’s my favorite – all this crazy can be going on around her and she just sits there, stone-faced. Later, at Jay and Gloria’s house he walks into the sliding glass door and then takes the screen door with him as he goes. Did anyone else catch how quite concerned Gloria and Phil were when he did that while the Jay, Claire and Mitchell howled with laughter? Sorry, I’m with the Pritchetts on this one – it was hilarious.
