I COME FROM A NEIGHBORHOOD WITH A LOT OF PROSTITUTES: If "Fizbo" represents the potential apex for Modern Family, tonight's "Fifteen Percent" is just one step below -- a well-structured mixing of the families with some nice comic high points, new insights into some of the father-child relationships (Jay-Mitchell, Phil-Haley), a nice guest turn from Chazz Palminteri and another happy ending that didn't feel forced or saccharine. Even when you can see some of the turns from a mile away (Cameron and Manny's "date," Mitchell's gaydar), the execution is just so solid that you don't mind. What a great addition to television this year.
