Everybody who rates the actors and the characters on IMDb and different sites are always so hyped on Phil's character and acting.

I just love the lines that he gets but I feel as if the character just matches his personality more than him being an actor who develops into the character instead. The best actor on this show is clearly the gay guy Eric Stonestreet. I literally had to do research and find out this guy was straight. I'm sure he had a lot of fun playing a role of a gay guy because of his hilarious arm gestures, intentional exaggerations of speech, and his gay acting. It must've been super fun because it's actually funny as hell. Ty Burrell is A good Actor but he'd do terrible with comedy films in my opinion. I think he'd be better off playing a cop, doctor, drama, villain etc. Julie Bowen was great Because she's Beautiful and has the prettiest smile in Hollywood. Manny was horrible but maybe because his lines could've been better but nah I feel like his character was just later used as a set up for the main roles because he couldn't cut it. Like just watch how he delivers punchlines... kinda cringe and hard to watch

Pretty girls, funny guys, bad child actors = good comedy TV.

In the end of the day, the writers, editors, producers, and the girls (including Eric :) turned poop into gold literally. You could compare actual good comedians (Jim c, Steve c, Will a, Nick s) to Ty and realized that he's not really fit for comedy and learn to appreciate that the people behind the show really did all the work.
