Modern Family's episode "Schooled" is a popular one among the show's fans. In it, Claire and Phil embarrass Haley when they drop her off at college. This is a widely accepted stereotype that creates a narrative that lesbians and gay men have nothing in common and cannot be friends.

The episode also features Manny making Gloria and Jay take a class and Lily getting into a tussle on her first day of kindergarten. This episode has been largely criticized for its portrayal of parents embarrassing their children and acting like it is normal. People find this not only cringe-worthy but also anger-inducing. It is especially worse when the parents fail to learn from their mistakes and continue to do the same things. Claire and Phil, in particular, are often pointed out for this.

The episode was rated 8.05 from 1895 votes.

The season finale of Modern Family, "Goodnight, Gracie" was an emotional episode as the family travels to Florida to be with Phil after his mother's passing.

Gloria has to deal with an outstanding arrest warrant in Florida, Cam finds himself fitting right into an elderly women's group at Frank's retirement community, and Jay runs into a pivotal person from his past.

Unfortunately, this episode was met with mixed reviews. While it was an emotional episode that highlighted the importance of family, the lack of comedic elements resulted in the episode feeling flat and uneventful. Even the death of a beloved character was not handled with the necessary gravitas.

The episode was rated 8.06 from 2027 votes.
