Modern Family


Modern Family is a 'mockumentary'-style comedy about, well, a family in modern times.  It follows three families:

- Jay Pritchett (the patriarch and founder of Closets Closets Closets) and his second wife Gloria (much younger and an immigrant) and her son Manny.
- The Dunphys- Claire (Jay's daughter and current CEO of the family business), Phil (realtor), and their children Haley (who loves boys and parties), Alex (who loves school), and Luke (the lovable idiot)
- Mitchell Pritchett (Jay's son and lawyer) and Cameron Tucker (teacher), a gay couple raising Lily, the daughter they adopted from Vietnam

We've watched all 9 seasons available on Netflix (the show ran 11 seasons total).  I think it's fantastic.  The writing is superb and the mockumentary style is a lot of fun.

Rating: A
