The interaction between Cam and Luke was fantastic.
"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert
I absolutely LOVED the moments between Jay and Manny this past week. I think that's why the show really does work, because beneath all the craziness there is a very real heart to it. That sets it above your standard sitcom.

I'm not usually a fan of recognizing child actors with awards, because it's almost always for playing precocious, but I'd give Nolan Gould an Emmy, Golden Globe, and SAG for playing Luke.

Reg, I agree. I loved Pepper in the restaurant scene because it was a 180 from Lane's appearance the first season, in which he seemed beamed in from another world than the one Modern Family takes place in. I think the follow-up scene in this episode would have worked without having him drive Betty Buckley's car from Eight is Enough.
