Modern Family watchers - Andy: Love him or hate him?

[Disney Ella]

Don't like him. He goes beyond dorky to very annoying. I get that they are trying to push the Claire-and-Haley-have-the-same-taste-in-men thing, but I'm not buying it.

 

[Christine]

I don't care for him.

 

[KateP85]

I don't like him much, but more than that, I don't think he's at all right for Haley. He seems like he's not enough of a challenge for her, I think she'd get bored.

 

[pryncess527]

I love Andy!

 

[okeydokey]

I'm a fan, but probably because Phil is my favorite Modern Family character.

 

[AppleDumpling]

I don't particularly care for him but it seems the writers want them to end up together. Making him get fat was just weird. I think Dylan is a better fit for Haley, personality-wise, and has shown that he really cares for her. I also like that he's become somewhat successful, contrary to Claire and Phil's expectations, and that they're showing their support by wearing his t-shirts!

I think Alex and Sanjay are a cute couple and thought last night's ending was clever.

 

[antmaril]

I like Andy. I do not care for Dylan. I hope Haley and Andy end up together.

 

[MickeySP]

Which one is Andy?

 

[RunningGirl]

I like Andy but hate that they made him get so weirdly fat.

 

[Squirlz]

I like the character but I would feel sorry for the person.

 

[kaytieeldr]

Which one is Andy?

Andy is, or was, the manny Gloria hired to take care of Joe the season before last. He is kind of goofy, but likable. That said, they did a horrible job of making him fat. Really bad effects.

 

[Lori74]

hated andy at first, but now he's growing on me. his cartoonish ways are starting to tone down a bit. i have no opinion who haley should end up with. the writers do such great work, i love to be surprised.

 

[PollyannaMom]

OK, I finally watched the season premier on DVR, so now I can read this thread.

I agree, it didn't look right somehow.

I used to like Andy as a character and want him and Haley to end up together, but he was so blind to crazy Beth, I stopped being able to take him seriously. (Plus, I just hate plot lines where two people are so obviously in love with each other and everyone knows but them and they can't manage to get out of their own way.)

Then again, I'm hot and cold on Dillon's character too, so I don't really care which one she ends up with. I do think this:

...they are trying to push the Claire-and-Haley-have-the-same-taste-in-men thing..

is an interesting way to look at it, though. Both of them do seem to be a lot like Phil in many ways.


And I agree with this, too:

...I think Alex and Sanjay are a cute couple and thought last night's ending was clever.

Why does she have to end up with either one? She's young. I'd rather her end up with a direction in her life.

 

[cmbouldin]

I love Andy, but I'm also very torn as to who I want Haley to end up with. I love Andy for Haley, but I also really like Dylan. I love when he shows up, especially at Disneyland. It was perfect. I think having a new love interest for her would be nice, though.

I'm not so green like Andy or Phil, but I see a lot of my personality in their characters which is probably why I love them. (Hubby is the realistic, "mature" one. lol.)

 

[karensi]

I like Andy, I always have. That being said, at first I didn't like Dylan but now I like him too. I get a kick out of his character and the funny things he sometimes says. Like when he just doesn't get it. And as a PP said, I also really like Phil.

 

[Disney Ella]

Why does she have to end up with either one? She's young. I'd rather her end up with a direction in her life.

I agree. There's a lot of different types of guys between those extremes, but since this is a comedy show, they obviously like characters that are more extreme. If Andy was just slightly goofy, I could believe image-obsessed Haley liked him, but they've made him so dorky, it's hard for me to believe it.
