Featuring an all-star cast led by Ed ONeill Sofia Vargara Julie Bowen and Ty Burrell 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 shows three wildly-diverse broods. ?No matter the size or shape family always comes first in this hilariously modern look at life love and laughter.Amazon.comThe handheld observational fake documentary format complete with character interview segments has become a sitcom device so familiar and accessible thanks to the success of The Office and Parks and Recreation that it doesn't feel at all like a rip-off in Modern Family. In fact the technique seems to be entirely its own in this fresh smart and very funny show that premiered to immediate acclaim in 2009. Three affluent Southern California households--the Delgado-Pritchetts the Dunphys and the Pritchett-Tuckers--thrum with uproarious life and bustling activities showcased in pithy episode arcs that are neat?? if not always tidy. The homes and lifestyles are glossy and well ordered?? yet simultaneou" full of the chaos and commonplace confusion that make up real life for real modern families everywhere. Each of the 10 personalities in the ensemble is expertly nuanced?? a feat that should be credited not only to the show's creators Steven Levitan and Christopher Lloyd?? but also to actors who have without exception been impeccably cast. Each one takes care to bring the tiniest detail of comic shading to their abundant interaction and to the equally important element of their own personal and wildly idiosyncratic character business.
