    I'm all for TV shows trying to spread messages, and am fine when they have agendas. However this episode, about women's rights and gender equality, was almost insulting. It panders to the lowest-common denominator, using disproven or just plain unfactual narratives about the Feminist movement. But the biggest crime of all is the episode isn't funny. Jokes are lazily handled or can be seen coming a mile away, which likely is due to the writers being more concerned spreading their agenda than being funny.

    Shows like Black-ish are able to walk the political and social line with brilliant ease, offering commentary on topics without being biased or sacrificing humor. Modern Family used to be able to do that, but now I'm not so sure.

    I've been following the show for a while now and I'm happy that it still hasn't jumped the shark. The writing has been alright this season, nothing too spectacular, but nothing bad either.

    This episode, however, wasn't written as a Modern Family episode for the most part.

    The obviousness of pushing a pro-Clinton agenda is painful to see. Even spreading feminist myths, which have been debunked from time to time is something I didn't expect the writers would do. Sadly, they did. Modern Family has been a show with some liberal episodes (which fits in with the Los Angeles setting), but this episode felt like propaganda.

    The Jay & Phil storyline in this was good though. It was humorous and very well paced. So I guess the writers did a good job on that.

    Overall, not one of the best episodes, but if you like the show a lot you should watch it.

    It is so sad when a funny and intelligent show turns unfunny and PC. Show a little respect for your viewers - most of us watch Modern Family for entertainment, not to be subjected to political propaganda. And that is regardless what the political agenda might be, or your own personal ideological leanings. When you turn on a comedy show you want to be entertained - this time I barely made it through the episode.

    This Pile of Pooh Series has steadily been going downhill This was the absolute worst however, with its Social warrior BS and Pathetic attempt at being political. Used to be funny, used to be Relevant. Now is neither!! .

    A rating of Zero out of 10 would be more accurate review of this turd

    I really liked this episode! It didn't have any really funny moments, but overall I thought it was great and just what I needed at the moment. It was fantastic to see the ladies all together and I'm hoping for more moments like that in the show. Jay & Phil working together is always fun, and I really appreciate that story line. Manny and Luke also had a fun story in this episode, with Luke becoming a more complex character as well. I was critically set on how they would handle the Pam-story line but shockingly, I really liked her in this episode. Excited to see more!

    Modern Family needs another season. It may not be as funny as it once were, but the new episodes are still the highlight of my week. If there is going to be a season 9, I hope they bring back Andy.

    Don't listen to the bad reviews or bad ratings, Modern Family is still the best comedy-show out there! You will enjoy this episode.
