I love this show! I really did not care for Married with Children so Modern Family has given me a new view of Ed ONeil (Al Bundy) - love him! He has a good heart (and so does Gloria).
I just love all the characters, quirks and all...Phil is insane and so clueless and Cam is hilarious..What I love the most is how most episodes end up with a real family connection of some kind..gets me teary eyed sometimes!

... and this is completely shallow, but the way Cam holds his arms always looks awkward to me. The better to see his groovy contrasting shirt cuffs!  I know what you mean, though. The actor is straight, and some of his choices are over the top and veer into caricature. |

I like the show but I honestly cannot figure out why Claire married Phil. He's one strange man. I love Cam, he always cracks me up. I'm behind on this season. Did Mitchell and Cam tie the knot? One last thing, I know a lot of people don't like the actress playing Lily but I think she's great! We learned about this recently: Claire was pregnant with their daughter Hailey when they got married. |

Phil cracks me up. He's a perfect foil for Claire's "up-tightness." I love his little phrases, "WTF" to him means "Why the face?"   |

I love this show! It is one of the funniest shows on TV right now. I don't know what season it is, but I've seen all the shows from the beginning, and it isn't getting old. All the episodes revolve around this one family and it works...every show! My one peeve is from...I don't know what show it's from, but Luke starred in his school's production of Phantom of the Opera. I really wish they would do more to showcase his talent! He has a wonderful voice! That little bit they did with his parents and grandparents being surprised that it was him up on the stage? I wanted MORE!!! Other than that...excellent show! Great casting, and one of the ones I'm looking forward to this fall.

It's interesting the way recent episodes have been answering the questions like why did Claire marry someone like Phil. We've loved this show since it started airing here (also The Middle). We are behind y guys though so have only just seen Mitchell and Cam's wedding.

We love this show, too.
My kids say my husband is just like Phil Dunphy, so it's fun to watch and hear them say, "That's SO Dad!"

We watch and love!! I think it is crazy that Luke plays such a dork and is really a member of MENSA... I love all of them... except (new lily)... lol... I'm sorry she is young so I get that but I don't think she is a very good actress... it always seems like she is just reading lines to me..

This season she was really dry and really funny. Someone worked with her because that kid made me LOL this past year. |

I didn't really think that much of this show when it first came out but now I am in love with it. The characters are really well casted. I thought I heard on the episode where Gloria was making Jay meet her for their first date and Manny had to help him out that Gloria and Jay got married to keep her in the country or maybe it was just a joke.

I love this show. I especially love Lily and her writers. She's a pretty smart cookie to understand sarcasm at her age and can deliver it on the show.

The first season they had the older Lily on, I did not like her at all! Now I'm loving her and her dry commentary. She's great! |

I absolutely LOVE this show! It has all become very believable to me. I love Jay on this show and was never an Al Bundy fan. I love every character.

We have the show on right now. I have a friend who married a man who has a child older than her. Their relationship is the same as anyone else. It surprised a lot of people.

Love, love, love this show! I really think it's one of the best written shows on TV right now. Funny, sharp, topical, touching and more. Love it.

I have missed some shows here and there over the years and did not know that Shelley Long is the ex-wife, I've never seen her on the show.
Now I really want to see an episode with her on it.

not to "highjack" but Hubbs and I sometimes get VERY annoyed at Gloria's accent---mainly when she WHINES, and only because it sounds so FAKE! ----and, I may be wrong, but I have always had an "EAR" for accents, and there are times in the show when I can hear her "slip" into a much less dramatic accent. I did some googling a long time ago, and there was an commercial she did years ago, where I guess they got her a dialect coach or something, but she sounded so much better---nice accent without OVERdoing it! Again, I could be SO wrong on this---but I also think "Raj" on "Big Bang Theory" wayyyy overdoes his accent....If you listen closely, you might notice he "slips" sometimes......I was curious and watched You Tubes of him on different talk shows, and he has the same accent as the show....(just as Sophia V. does).....sooooo, I dunno if they keep it up as a facade ---does the show think it makes their characters more interesting....? I dunno..... I've always LOVED hearing alll different accents.....I just don't wanna hear FAKE ones when I see the actor on a talk show /awards show, etc.....I want them to be themselves when they're not performing....( # hashtag....asking too much?..LOL! #hashtag) .!!!!  P.S...Different but related topic..... my peeps that watched the recent "FARGO" mini-series....did you know the actor who played Lester Niigaard is British!!! WOW, we were AMAZED when we found that out!!!! His Midwestern (albeit overdone a bit at times) was sooo good!!! |

I want Mitchell to be my brother. Remember the show where it came out that he and Claire were an ice dancing team in high school and at the end they did the lift. He is such a good brother!

I watch very little TV, and then mostly just football, but this is one show I'll stop and watch when the kids have it on. I think it's hilarious and sweet at the same time.

Jay and Gloria also have a baby together, named Joe. The baby's name is Fulgencio and Jay gets to call him Joe.  That was a funny funny episode. Gloria's family from Columbia adds a great secondary story line |

I'm fundamentally opposed to all TV shows where the guy is a bumbling, out of shape idiot but his wife/girlfriend is beautiful, thin, and has her crap (and his) together. In not saying it doesn't happen in real life, but all these shows seem to portray these unbalanced relationships.

Jay isn't a bumbling idiot, he's a successful businessman and his wife gives him a run for his money with her own street smarts and charm.
I will always like Modern Family, but as the kids get older I feel like the show loses its original charm.

And Sofia Vergara is dating Joe Manganiello IRL. Not bad for an ex bouncer.

scrappintoe, I so agree! I don't like fake accents at all. But love real accents! The kids used to watch a show on Disney about a family that lived in the White House. There was a girl on the show from a made up country with the worst fake accent ever! How hard would it have been to get a girl with a true accent to play the part?

So, you were upset because the actor didn't have a real accent from a made up country? 
I think casting at Disney did their best.
