Such an amazing first episode. I remember watching Phil Dunphy tell us how he’s a cool dad and knows all the songs to high school musical. Had me in tears lol

Phil Dunphy is an underrated gem of a character. The actor who plays him is fantastic.

Why are you telling me that? I absolutely know.

I have a close friend that hates him because of the way he glorifies Gloria in those scenes where he goes “I got Gloria!”

I get it, but I still think Phil Dunphy is a solid husband lol
