Modern Family: Unplugged

Noticing that everyone is too busy on their electronic devices to actually interact with one another, Claire and Phil declare a family challenge to see who can stay unplugged the longest. Meanwhile, it's a race against the clock as Mitchell and Cameron frantically try to get Lily into the best pre-schools, and Jay and Manny are concerned about how far Gloria will go to alleviate their problem with the neighbor's barking dog.

Recap

The scene opens with Jay and Gloria in bed and Manny comes in and says that the dog next door kept him up all night and that it won’t stop. Gloria agrees with him and Jay tells that he didn’t hear anything. Gloria tells that Jay has old man ears and that is why he did not hear anything. Gloria gets out of bed to stop the dog. At Claire and Phil’s, everyone is around the table playing with their blackberrys and laptops and Claire tells everyone to detach, but Phil is not supportive of it either. Meanwhile, Mitchell comes in and tells that all the children that Lily plays with at the park are gone and that one of the mothers told him that they are in preschool. Felling like they are behind, they call Claire and ask what the best preschool is. She mentions that they can get her in the preschool that her kids went too and Mitchell asks about a fancy preschool and tells that the only way they can get in there is if they know someone on the board. She tells that he kids didn’t go to a fancy preschool and they are fine. Just then Luke is playing a game and eating his cereal without his hands. Claire turns to Phil for some support and Phil likes Luke’s idea. ..
