I don't.mind the new neighbours because I like Phil getting taken down a peg sometimes. He's just such a childish oddball.

On that note, the Awesomeland thing was just weird, who does that? He knows Halloween is scary and the Dunphys do a house of horrors every year, so what was with the bright colourful props? And really, where did all that stuff come from, and where did it go? Are we supposed to believe they own all that giant junk? And that they have storage space for it? Or did Phil rent all those huge props and then Claire returned them, and then rented them again? I know, I know, it's a sitcoms, but even over-the-top antics have to be physically possible. ( Not to mention financial, but we've tapped that well many times).

And if Claire had to work - which makes sense since Halloween is a Friday this year - why didn't Phil? Or Haley? Or why weren't Alex and Luke at school? What does Haley do all day to support her clothes and pot habit?

I liked the Cam and Mitchell plot, and it was nice that they weren't bickering for once.

Jay is right, male-female costume sets are often in the beauty and beast vein. Although so are Jay and Gloria themselves, so... Sorry, Jay. You're a funny guy, but you ARE the JayZ to Beyoncé every day.
