Quote: Come join the family for the laugh-out-loud and critically acclaimed breakout hit of the year, featuring an all-star cast led by two-time Golden Globe® nominee** and recently announced recipient of his own star on the legendary Hollywood Walk of Fame Ed O’Neill (“Married…with Children”), Sofia Vargara (Four Brothers), Julie Bowen (“Boston Legal”), and Ty Burrell (Black Hawk Down). Created and produced by industry veterans Steven Levitan (“Just Shoot Me”) and Christopher Lloyd (“Frasier”), “Modern Family” takes a refreshing and funny view of what it means to raise a family in this hectic day and age. Multi-cultural relationships, adoption, and same-sex marriage are just a few of the timely issues faced by the show’s three wildly-diverse broods. No matter the size or shape, family always comes first in this hilariously “modern” look at life, love, and laughter.

I saw only about the first half of Season 1, which was hilarious. One of the best sitcoms in quite some time. I will definitely check out the rest of the season. Will purchase.

It seems to play it a little TOO safe sometimes, but it won't stop me from watching unless it goes into brady bunch territory. I mean let's face it, sure this may represent what a modern family can be like in terms of diversity, but modern families today don't laugh, smile, and learn a lesson at the end of every single day do they? I'm just saying it would be nice to see the show actually represent some of the real hardships people such as those on the show might overcome together instead of wrapping everything up at the end of 30 mins.
Would everyone in a HS band REALLY be perfectly fine with a larger homosexual filling in as a drummer? Would nobody do a double take at an older man taking out such a younger woman? I am not saying they should be changing what the show is about, but why come up with a show with such diverse people and call it "Modern Family" and not show how it would be in today's "modern world" but instead seem to sugar coat everything.
Too much "modern" reality can hurt a show sometimes. Do I wanna see people give Mitchel and Cam s**t for being 2 gay men who love each other, and are also parents to a little girl? No, I could watch the news for that. Plus, the idea of an older man and younger woman (and vice verse) is nothing new, that's part of our culture. I'd rather take this "comfort food" version of what really are modern families, as opposed to the real world of everyone dealing with other peoples intolerance.
Don't get me wrong, I am still a fan of the show. I guess I was expecting more of a real-world show when I had first heard about the idea.
I'll take it for what it is, but being gay in alot of the country is no picnic like it looks like on this show. I am hoping people will take away a lesson of tolerance (which is I do get is the angle they are going for) rather then getting some false sense of how things really are in the world. Of course those people would be very ignorant, but how many ignorant people are there out there?
Again, I am thinking more into this probably then I should (it's just a sit-com), I get the show, It's funny and you're right it's comforting, even if it's in the "I wish it were really like that" kind of way.

"That spider woulda been in trou-ble!"
One of the best and freshest new sitcoms last season. If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend it. Will eventually get it, but not right away. The season is still relatively fresh in my mind.
