I know I'm very late to the party here, but does Cam drive anyone else up the wall?

Love Cam he’s one of my favourites!

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 27/08/2021 23:46

My favourites are (in order)
Phil
Young Luke (older Luke drops a few spots)
Gloria
Alex
Haley
Jay
Cam
Older Lily
Sal
Haley
Dylan
Mitchell
Claire
Manny (is there a lower spot I can put older Manny?)

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 27/08/2021 23:47

Oops I put Haley twice scratch the second one

StartupRepair · 27/08/2021 23:47

I loved Cam at the beginning then increasingly found him needy and manipulative. Jay was my favourite - sort of hopeless but consistent.

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 27/08/2021 23:49

Cams best scene is when he is helping Gloria find Stella, and he is yelling Stella!!!! In the street and just get this "Streetcar" moment. Meets a little girl, what's your name? Blanche. Shut up.

We love it- it's a regular lunchtime watch with all the family.

MintyCedric · 27/08/2021 23:54

My faves are Phil, Gloria and Alex.

I like Manny and Jay, especially their relationship. The episode where Jay and his best mate have a heart to heart before his mate moves to Costa Rica is really cute too.

I love Gloria too

Cam and Gloria are my favourites but their scenes together just them are not so good

Coronado2 · 27/08/2021 23:57

Yes! Cam is the worst character on the show for me.

Cactuslockdown · 28/08/2021 00:02

Nooooo, I LOVE Cam! He and Phil are the favourites in our house Grin

SnotandBothered · 28/08/2021 00:03

The thing with Phil is that whilst yes, he is cringey, his heart is good and his motives are nearly always honourable.

He is a dick but all he wants to be is a great husband, father and all round good guy. My favourite scenes are always him and Jay. Especially a really early one where is desperate to have a go flying Jay's remote control aeroplane and is like a puppy whilst Jay is literally almost ignoring him.

Clare has her moments - again an early one - but letting Phil think he'd won their race.

Cam is glorious and Mitchell is whiney.

Gloria is my favourite person.

I love Hailey for being selfish and flawed .

Manny is the least believable and most annoying.

MsTSwift · 28/08/2021 00:04

Love cam so funny. Love that he knows he’s dramatic and sort of reins it in but sort of doesn’t. And that he is suddenly quite tough like when him Jay Mitchell and Phil go to sort out the chap that cheated Hayley but only Jay and Cam are properly hard 😁

MintyCedric · 28/08/2021 00:04

@Coronado2

Yes! Cam is the worst character on the show for me.
Thank God it's not just me!

I love Cam! And he’s an amazing actor, I genuinely believed he was gay.

Strokethefurrywall · 28/08/2021 01:03

Oh no way, Modern Family is on repeat in our house, God bless Netflix.
I think my least favorite in the earlier episodes is Alex who just comes off as an insufferable know it all.

I love all the other characters, flaws and all - the entire show is my comfort watch. I love Phil, he’s such a duck head but just the most lovable dickhead!

Genuine belly laughs with this show, wonderfully written!

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 28/08/2021 01:10

Clive Bixby is the best character

Iamthewombat · 28/08/2021 01:14

Cam is the best character. He is a bit like Louie Spence (from Pineapple Dance Studios) in that, in theory he is histrionic, needy and attention seeking and thus should be annoying but isn’t, and in fact you want to be his best friend.

I like the programme best when Pepper Saltzmann (Nathan Lane) is also in it. Maximum camp.

ohthatbloodycat · 28/08/2021 05:39

I love them all!

MsTSwift · 28/08/2021 07:18

Love the alliance between Phil Gloria and Cam

It’s basically an ensemble piece and how the characters interact so hard to single them out. We made my in laws watch when we went to stay and they were stony faced. I don’t find them easy and them not liking MF just was another nail in the coffin!

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 28/08/2021 07:49

Am shocked more than one poster based said Phil is a dick - in what way? I genuinely only see someone nice, a bit needy, a good dad.

PearlyBird · 28/08/2021 07:53

He's so sensitive andcso easily offended and SO PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE
hard to see what puts them together!
I think phil would be a kind, good humoured but sliiightly boring husband as he is less intelligent than claire, but she likes to be in control so no surprises and they suit each other.
Mitch and Cam dont work as as couple! Or they wouldnt in real life!

That's funny! How can people not laugh at MF? THE writing is so clever.
picklemewalnuts · 28/08/2021 08:01

I really worried about the overt campness of Mitchel and Cam. I was surprised it wasn't considered offensive stereotype. But all the characters are, so it kind of evens out.

dementedma · 28/08/2021 08:05

Cam is my favourite.
Really dislike Lily who is spoilt, unkind and manipulative, as well as being the worst of the young actors.
Brilliant show though.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 28/08/2021 08:07

I love them all. No exceptions. Claire is my least favourite, but I still want her to be in the show.

Just10moreminutesplease · 28/08/2021 08:11

Oh I love Cam! Actually I love them all… it’s my comfort tv show Grin.
