> I like Claire & Mitchell on the show. They act like siblings, which doesn’t always happen in shows with adult siblings.

Yes, I think so, too. That is one of my favorite aspects of this show.

> In the photograph that showed Claire and Mitchell as young kids, do you guys think it was a photoshop of a young Julie Bowen and a young Jesse Tyler Ferguson? Or do you think it’s two young actors who the casting director thought looked like what Mitchell & Claire would have looked like when they were kids?

When my SO and I watched the extras on the first season DVD, I seem to recall a discussion about how the picture of Claire and Mitchell in their skating costumes was actually the episode’s writer and sibling (iirc, might’ve been a producer or something). This might’ve been the same deal.

> Claire looks ten times yummier in pigtails than in her regular haircut!

That’s right – she was hot in those pigtails!
