My son is a big fan of Modern Family. I always tease him that this is supposedly a documentary about a large extended family. The characters are filmed and speak to the camera which has been happening for over 10 years. The question is who is watching this documentary and where has it been broadcast for all these years?
Inspired in part by mockumentaries such as This is Spinal Tap and The Office (both the British and American version.)
The pilot episode sets up the various branches of the Pritchett's and Dunphy's. Patriarch Jay Pritchett has recently married a younger wife from Columbia who has a young son. Daughter Claire Dunphy has three kids and a husband who thinks he is hipster dad. Claire was a wild child in her younger days. Mitchell Pritchett is a highly strung gay man who has just adopted a Vietnamese baby with his partner.
This is a slick first episode. Ty Burrell as the cool dad gets the funniest scenes. Yet there is a lot underneath that will be teased out in later episode. Jay feeling old with his more younger wife and also being uncomfortable with his son's homosexuality.
I can see this is something you might easily one to watch more of. My son raced through the various seasons.
