the ages of 18 and 49. The episode went down a tick from the previous episode, "Strangers on a Treadmill". Despite dropping in the demographic the series became the highest rated scripted series of the week between October 17 and October 23. Reviews The episode received mostly positive reviews. Jason Hughes of AOL's TV Squad stated in his review "While 'Modern Family' is consistently one of the funniest half hours on television, it's rarely as well-balanced as this episode." Michael Slezak of Entertainment Weekly gave the episode a positive review. Despite feeling it didn't have a "mushy center" he also felt "it's Modern Family's balancing act between the absurd and the relatable that has made it a sitcom for the ages." Kara Klenc of TV Guide called the episode "laugh out loud". She also stated "I laughed out loud at so many moments of this episode, there are barely any shows that can do that anymore!" Henry Hanks of CNN gave the episode a positive review and also stated "This week, all three plots were equally strong, but I have to admit, I'm really looking forward to next week's Halloween episode even more." Mickey O'Conner of TV Guide named Cameron and Mitchell's interview the fifth best TV moment of the week. Matt Roush gave the episode a positive review. Despite criticizing the writers "painting" Mitchell as a "shallow social climber" he also stated "that the storyline is quickly redeemed in yet another hilarious episode". Despite these positive reviews Brett Singer of The A.V. Club rated the episode with a B−. He felt the episode was "rushed" due to the plotlines not "overlapping". Alan Sepinwall of HitFix gave the episode a negative review as well saying "I didn't laugh at the Dunphy plot" and "I hated hated hated the Cam/Mitchell plot", but also praised the Pritchett plot. Peruvian controversy The episode received controversy for Gloria's statement "Ah, here we go. Because, in Colombia, we trip over goats and we kill people in the street. Do you know how offensive that is? Like we’re Peruvians!" Milagros Lizarraga, founder of the online group Peru USA Southern Ca, told the Associated Press, “It’s incredible that in a country where everything is politically correct, ABC would have a line of this sort.” References External links "Unplugged" at ABC.com Modern Family (season 2) episodes 2010 American television episodes Television controversies in Peru
