It is so cruel that they put Glee and Modern Family on at the same time b/c they are both so hilarious. For those Glee fans. They are also releasing the songs on two CDs later this year. Don’t know if they will have additional material than just buying the songs on iTunes, but I am making myself hold out and find out!

I treat myself to one Glee song a week. Otherwise it’d be too much.

I didn’t laugh as loud at Modern Family this week but I love Ed O’Neill and the more flamboyantly gay dad. When he went of about Meryl Streep in Sophie’s Choice, I lost it.

Modern Family was good, but I was happily surprised when Cougar Town pulled more laughs from me. I had just rewatched the pilots since I had a friend over for dinner who hadn’t seen them yet, and she liked Modern Family and was only so-so sold on Cougar Town. The 2nd episodes of both sealed the deal for her. I’m so excited to have Monic–I mean Courtney Cox back on TV in an intentionally funny role (yes, that’s a jab at Dirt).

And I haven’t stopped listening to Maybe This Time from Glee since Wednesday. I managed to make Somebody to Love move to the top of my Most Played list on iTunes, but I have a feeling Maybe This Time will surpass it in a few short hours. It’s GORGEOUS.

The ONLY good thing to arise from TBL’s early cancellation (which I’m still bitter about…harumphh) is: I’m free from 9-10pm for Modern & Cougar, both of which are hilarious. Just when we thought the sitcom was dead, ABC, of all networks, comes out shooting with these two. Courteney has probably never been funnier, but the Modern Family show is just inspired comedy.

Cool. I didn’t know you could buy songs from Glee on iTunes. TVA, I see what you mean now.

I’m not positive I’ll do it yet, but I’m tempted to get Don’t Stop Believing and Somebody to Love.

Agreed on all counts, but disappointed you didn’t mention The Middle. It’s so nice to have Patricia Heaton and Neil Flynn back on my TV every week.

Totally agree with you on all of this. Except that I committed to Cougar Town last week. I thought the premiere was hilarious and almost as good as Modern Family.

I’d also like to mention The Middle. That show is surprisingly good. It’s too bad Hank drags down the line-up, but the good thing is that I can watch Old Christine instead at 8:00.

Just Jody,

Agree with you about seeing the stolen bike coming from a mile away. But as someone who had a penchant for getting bikes stolen until my parents decided to stick me with rollerblades, It was pretty darn funny.

I agree, Glee was outstanding this week! KC really can belt out any song they give her. Can’t wait to watch it again. Glee is really hogging the space on my PVR.

I must admit to liking Cougar Town better than Modern Family. CT has made me howl with laughter, while MF has only brought chuckles. And you could see the ‘jokes’ with the stolen bike coming a mile away. I knew instantly that a) it wasn’t going to be his son’s bike, and b) that the bike would be stolen again when he left it on the sidewalk. But I do agree that Jay and Manny are fantastic no matter what they’re doing.

Bang on observations. I like this TV addict
