Reminds me of the time that Gloria, Cam, and Phil get stuck in the basement and then they were able to come out only because they thought about how all their Pritchetts spouses would have reacted. 😂😂😂
Ty was perfect for this role but I actually can see Matt playing this role. He did do a family sitcom a few years ago playing a dad and husband. He also has a similar speaking voice to Ty. Would have been different but I can see why he was offered the role.
Stupid Alex, being right all the time! I honestly thought Alex got her intelligence and neurotic behaviours from Claire, but it turns out Alex is like Phil's mum.
Lmao I was so comfident that Claire wouldnt do the fun thing with Luke I didnt get the "waiting in the car" joke because I also assumed she would be waiting.
“Hey, here’s a thought, now that you told mom you got the bowl, how about we actually go get it?” “Yes, no more fooling around.” That’s very hard for Phil to say and do.
True. Seems to be a recurring storyline in family sitcoms and dramas about what it’s like to be the middle child in this case. Yeah, Phil is the fun carefree parent and prefers being and spending time with Luke for that, but interestingly here if he didn’t have Alex, Phil would have never gotten away with pretending to be blind.
I agree. Phil acted immature, like a man child and did many questionable things throughout the show, quite a number of which he got away with unfairly and at times he threw others under the bus to take the fall and blame for him all to protect himself. Several times he did that to Mitchell. Back in season 3, the *Egg Drop* episode Phil told Gloria that family are supposed to think about each other and at the end of that season and several times throughout the show, Phil went against that and set a terrible example of it for the family.
But doesn’t this only matter if you’re religious, though? I’m an atheist myself, so personally, im not concerned about “taking the lord’s name in vain”, and the characters in this show aren’t very religious too, so they don’t think twice and it doesn’t worry them like it would for you … (except for one of their characters, Gloria; she’s very religious lol)
