It's the last Thursday of Sitcom All Ye Faithful and I'm back to being all alone again. But fear not adoring fans, after today I have three more guests lined up before I bring it on home for the big day 25 finale – but I'm getting ahead of myself. Today I am going back to 2011 (can't believe that long ago) to get a show that I think – at least around some of my friends – doesn't get the love that it deserves. Phil Dunphy should be regarded as one of the best sitcom characters of the 2000s and I am not sure other people see it that way. Golly, I hate those people. Happy Holidays!
