What is a modern family? It used to be a husband, a wife, and two to four kids. But now there is a diverse number of ways we can define a modern family. The sitcom "Modern Family" uses comedy to answer this question. To be honest I haven't really watched the show that much, but it's recent popularity has caused me to tine into a few episodes. The show is hilarious, mainly because this stuff could happen to you.



Describe :
 "Modern Family" is a smart and witty show that looks into the fabric that makes up a family in today's society. The cast is hilarious. With the dad Jay Pritchett and his trophy wife Gloria, Gloria's son Manny. Jay's daughter Claire and her family, husband Phil Dunphy, and their kids Haley, Alex, and Luke. Along with Jay's son Mitchell and his partner Cameron Tucker(or Cam), and their adoptive daughter Lily.

The episode I watched was "When A Tree Falls" which aired as the ninth episode in the fourth season. Jay is taking his stepson Manny to a birthday party, and while he is their Jay runs into Phil who is because Luke was also invited to the party. Jay, not wanting to stay at the party, tries to not be seen by Phil but Jay is not fast enough. Phil ropes Jay into hanging out with the other dads. Meanwhile Jays wife Gloria, who is about nine months pregnant, is having to be watched over by Jays daughter Claire. Claire and Gloria get into some shenanigans at the mall, Gloria bails them out by faking going into labor. During all this Cam ropes Mitchell into saving a tree in their local park. From there on it laughs a plenty throughout the episode.

Analyze :

"Modern Family" takes a unique look into the makeup of a 21st century family. It is filmed like "The Office" with a documentary crew following the family. The humor in the show comes from the real to life feel the show has. Like Phil constantly trying to win his father in-laws approval, or the old school Jay learning to cope with his family after marrying a younger woman. That is why the show is so popular because this stuff can and probably has happened.


Interpret :

"Modern Family" perfectly taps into what a family is in today's society. It is all the trials and tribulations we go through on a daily bases. Weather it be an adult issue, a pre-adult issue, or a kid issue this show touches on it. Like in this episode Jay is having to deal with the unaccountability of getting older, while his son is having to deal with commitment, and his granddaughter having to deal with the repercussions of getting kicked out of college. The show certainly hits its demographic.


Evaluate :

"Modern Family" is a smart show, in the way(as I have stated before) that it paints an accurate picture of family life in the 21st century. The show is also bold into looking into the gay family life, and with that it shows that no matter your preference we go through the same experiences. The show has been winning awards since its debut, recently picking up a SAG award for best ensemble in a comedy series. Along with numerous nominations. The show has a huge number of followers in its 9 p.m. time slot on ABC.


Engage :

Like I have said before, I have only recently been watching "Modern Family." If I haven't watched them during their time slot, I get caught up on Hulu plus. My entire family watches the show regularly. I do not follow the show on Facebook, but might start to soon. The writing and casting of the show are its strengths, you feel like it is a camera crew following a random family.


Conclusion :

"Modern Family" truly is one of those rare gems, that come along once in a while. The real feel of it is the driving force. The dynamic that the cast sets makes it enjoyable to watch. This is a show that appeals to all audiences with its true to life humor. I really do recommend "Modern Family" to everyone. It is one of those shows that can make you laugh and also make you feel. You can catch it on ABC at 9 p.m. or on Hulu plus.
