Summary
Reviewers say 'Modern Family' is acclaimed for its unique mockumentary format, engaging characters, and sharp wit. The series effectively portrays modern family dynamics and current issues, striking a chord with viewers. The stellar cast, especially Ed O'Neill, Ty Burrell, and Sofia Vergara, is lauded for their compelling performances. Critics also highlight the show's adept mix of comedy and emotional depth.

Featured reviews
Modern Family is one of the funniest sitcoms of the last decade. The entire cast is hilarious. It has one of the best ensemble casts of any show I can remember. Every single character shines and all the actors and actresses were perfectly cast for their roles. This went on for 11 amazing seasons, each one just as funny as the others. It never felt like the show was going stale or over staying it's welcome. Even watching the reruns will make you laugh like it's your first time seeing it. This show has won so many awards over the years and each one was earned. What makes this show so funny is that every family can relate to someone on the show, sometimes all of them. I would definitely recommend this show for anyone looking for a new sitcom.
'Modern Family' more than deserves to be recongised as not only one of the best comedies of the 2000's, but also amongst the best ever.
Sharply written (by several 'Frasier' alum no less) and wonderfully performed by a fantastic cast, this show was near perfection for its first 7 years.
Like all good shows though it did decline in later years, while of course still being able to come up with exceptional episodes along the way, but the writers did seem to run out of logical new stories and ways of developing the kids when they grew up.
Overall though, this was a fantastic show, and one I will revisit regularly.

With everything's on the media right now, watching something like this does put some ease on my heart. I didn't knew I needed it until my sister made me watch it and i was hooked from the first episode and if not for few sick days i would've easily finished it earlier.
Obviously certain character development are I'm not so sure about but that's what the show is about: embracing flaws. And its such a treat to see all the child actors grow up to be the amazing person they are now.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Thanks for reading. See you later.

Modern Family is my all time favorite comedy show, it's so comforting and entertaining to watch. I love all the characters and the hilarious and creative storyline. Definitely one of the best comfort shows.
Modern Family is a documentary style sitcom that follows the lives of a family. There's a reason why this show and it's actors/actresses won so many awards over the years...because it's hilarious! The cast (Ed O'Neill, Ty Burrell, Sofia Vergara, Eric Stonestreet, Julie Bowen, Ariel Winter, Sarah Hyland, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, among others) is one of the best overall casts in sitcom history. There's really not a weak link among them, they're all pretty much equally funny! Of course everyone has their favorites and some are a little better than others but not by much. It's a testament to the writing and the actors that you're favorite character will probably change several times throughout the series.
Did you know
- TriviaAriel Winter was only 11 years old when she was cast as Alex Dunphy, and was always accompanied on set by her mother. According to cast and crew, the mother was always talking down to her about her weight and performance, up to the point where the producers wanted her banned from the set. In 2012, Winter was removed from her mother's home following allegations of physical and emotional abuse, and in 2016, Winter herself announced that she was legally emancipated from her parents.
- GoofsMitchell and Cameron adopted a child from Vietnam. This is legally impossible as Vietnam's laws forbid a child to be adopted by single parents or same sex couples.
