Sometimes young cast members are a problem for shows like this; their growing up doesn't always reflect kindly on the maturing concept. But in the case of <i>Modern Family</i> it's pretty easy to imagine the child actors continuing their roles into and out of child- and teenager-hood while the concept remains intact?? giving the crack writing staff increasingly diverse opportunities to explore the dynamics of the typical dysfunctions of an atypical modern family. With a slew of Emmys under its belt?? the show has settled into a delightfully familiar formula of checking in on stories unfolding in three separate households?? with an underlying theme providing an amusing connection and "rview" segments bolstering the mock-documentary conceit. To its credit <i>Modern Family</i>'s use of the sitcom style that originated with the original UK version of <i>The Office</i> remains a clever device without being overly gimmicky. Phil and Claire Dunphy (Ty Burrell and Julie Bowen) and their kids Haley Alex and Luke (Sarah Hyland Ariel Winter Nolan Gould) seem to be the most normal but in this world they are anything but. Claire's brother Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) and his partner Cameron (Eric Stonestreet) are more lovey-dovey than ever as they continue to raise their adopted daughter and navigate the minefield of personal and familial interaction.

As in season one famous-face guest stars abound with the plotlines and dialogue complementing each other in skillful consort. The snappy tone provokes bursts of hilarity that punctuate the consistently funny thematic structure running throughout each episode. <p> There's an increasing emph
