At least to me.... It's still a great show, but that was definitely a disappointing episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't one of their best but entertaining nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Wow, this show looks so awesome and so right up my alley. Holy s***. It has a really nice set of actors I like in it, too...

BigSqwert Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Did you guys check out the commercial for the new F/X series starring Elijah Wood? That show is either going to suck big time or be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogan873 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Caught up with Shameless last night. Good episode. And I know it's been said already, but I will say it again: Emmy Rossum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lines Phil Dunphy, or should I say Clive Bixby, was dropping at the bar were something else. The best line was at the resturant where they are talking about being at dinner at 6:30 and Phil says, "this place is on fire" and it was all old folks. Claire and Phil make that show. The storylines for Cam and Mitchell are usually pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonestreet) is the one who wins all of the awards. It's crazy to me, as Phil (and Luke) are far and away the most entertaining characters.

There have been a few good ones, but when they stay on them too long it gets a bit trying. You're right about Claire and Phil being best part of the show. Them and their kids.

bigruss Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Manny annoys the hell out of me, he can be funny in small doses but to me he's the Lisa Simpson of the group, necessary in a way but annyoing 90% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told my wife last night that for some reason they get the "serious" story lines about their relationship, leaving Kam's funny reactions as the only real comedic relief. Phil is easily the funniest on the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkman delivers Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 The people who vote on the awards for television and film seem to really love straight actors who play gay characters, but not gay actors who play gay characters. I'm not offended by it, but it often seems to me that straight actors playing gay characters usually come off as really flamboyant and effeminate. I feel like it's almost an insult and I'm not sure why gay rights people don't get up in arms about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also seem to love gay actors that play straight characters...NPH, Cynthia Nixon, TR Knight...at least those are the gay actors we know are gay. Will from Will and Grace wasn't flamboyant, but the Jack character was. The doc on Grey's Anatomy is gay..she isn't flamboyant...I think there was another doc that was gay and not flamboyant, but she's off the show. I don't know the more you dig, I don't see that as the case. Flamboyant is funny though...I don't think it's insulting, but maybe Rex speak better to it. The chick from Flashforward was a non flamboyant bad ass FBI agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan99 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 9, 2011 -> 10:51 PM) I wasn't necessarily emotional when watching FNL finale, but when it was over, it definitely made me sad that we'll never see another episode. I already can't wait for 3 years down the road when Becky is in a movie with straight hair and I'm going to be like "that girl is so hot, she was on FNL." I thought it was a solid episode. Some of it seemed a little forced (which is the case with most series finales) but I thought it was really well done and I'm going to miss the show.

I remember marking out for the line, "JD, you're out. Matt, you're in." And Riggins leaving his cleats in the endzone. Money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And way too many games came down to a final play, that just doesn't happen often in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
