		<description><![CDATA[Modern Family ended its fourth season with a poignant and darkly comic episode. But it was not without its flaws. Goodnight Gracie shows the Dunphys dealing with something every family deals with at one time or another, death. Phil&#8217;s mother has died, meaning we got another episode with Fred Willard as his father. She left behind notes]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Modern Family leads into the season finale with an episode that was much more like the rest of season four, lackluster. I do commend it, however, for having the running theme of inheriting traits from your parents. Having the various characters say it throughout the episode was a clever way to link the stories. The road]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Whoa, okay, sometimes this show has still got it. The reason Modern Family was such a hit in the beginning was because it offered a real take on a family. It showed the humor within that without being overly sappy. It was as unapologetic as it was sweet. This season for the most part has been tacky]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Finally! No more hiatuses! Modern Family came back with a surprisingly funny episode that was certainly a step in the right direction. Career Day&#8216;s titular plotline was a ton of fun, especially the beginning. Phil&#8217;s Jurassic Park-esque video talking to himself was one of the better Phil-isms this season. But of course, he is interrupted by his nemesis]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Was this the best episode of the season? Modern Family didn&#8217;t do a lot of things that it had been doing all season this week. It didn&#8217;t use cliche ridden characterizations. It didn&#8217;t divide our attention more than two ways. It didn&#8217;t force it&#8217;s characters into unlikely situations. It didn&#8217;t rely on classic sitcom tropes to]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two clever stories allow for something we rarely see on this show anymore, uncovered ground. When Claire has a minor heart scare, Phil notices something about her hospital roommate&#8217;s kids. They are older versions of Haley, Alex, and Luke. Watching these older versions interact and having the parents freak out about what big screw ups]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A busy episode left each of its stories a bit unfulfilled, even if they had some hysterical moments. The Wow Factor is a perfect representation of what Modern Family has become, forced situational comedy with just enough laughs to keep powering through. With a number of different stories going on this week, none of them really got fleshed]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Dunphys steal the spotlight in this fun filled episode. Even with the declining quality of this once great series, the writers have never forgotten that the kids need to grow up. And as Best Men proved, when that&#8217;s in the forefront, this show can still be what it was in the beginning. Oddly enough, the title]]></description>

The first story started with Phil and Claire&#8217;s tradition of going to a hotel and pretending not to know each other. It&#8217;s a sweet gag we&#8217;ve seen almost every year now and it hasn&#8217;t lost any steam.]]></description>
