Move over fiction and drama, there is a new family on the block! Winner of 21 Emmy Awards, and a million other hearts, MODERN FAMILY is one show you can’t miss. And here is why:
5. The Big Fat Family:
Spanning over three generations, Modern Family represents the big joint American (Yes, American!) family that stays together despite their differences ( read: A younger than the daughter stepmother, a gay couple , a typical high school fashion obsessed wow-girl, a geek and an inventor as the youngest generation, not to mention Manny, Manny, Manny!).
The Pritchett/Dunphy/Tucker clans take you through a hilarious journey full of silly sibling drama, conflict between parents and children, husband and wife, a journey that truly embodies what many consider to be today’s “modern family”. The weird family structure adds to the amusement. Jay Pritchett remarries a much younger, more beautiful woman from Colombia. Gloria, who has a son of her own (Manny), is around the same age as Jay’s two children, Claire and Mitchell. Claire and the rest of the Dunphy clan are what people would consider to be the stereotypical upper-middle class suburban family. There’s the husband (Phil), the wife (Claire), and the three children (Haley, Alex, and Luke). Mitchell, Jay’s other son, is partners with Cameron Tucker. Together, the couple adopt a daughter from Vietnam. The Modern Family is true representation of how families can stay together despite all their differences, with just a dash of love!
4. Lilly:
With lines such as “Do you want me to call you a wah-mbulance” and “Sometime’s when you read to me I pretend to fall asleep so you’ll go away?”, Lilly Tucker Pritchett, is the Vietnamese child adopted by the gay couple Mitchell and Cam , with the most amazing one liners and sarcastic retorts.
3. Phil Dunphy:
The founder of “Phil’s-osophy”, Phil Dunphy is a new age dad, or so he believes. He is married to the perfectionist, Claire, and has three kids who are as different from each other as is possible. But what makes Phil so successful? Hear it from the man himself!
“I’m a cool dad, that’s my thing. I’m hip, I surf the web, I text. LOL: laugh out loud, OMG: oh my god, WTF: why the face”
“The iPad comes out on my actual birthday. It’s like Steve Jobs and God got together to say, “We love you, Phil.”
“If you love something, then set it free. Unless its a tiger”!
2. The Mockumentary Style:
It is yet another comedy show, then what makes Modern Family an absolute winner? It’s consistently witty, whimsical and also has the occasional bit of slapstick, but only in small doses and it works every time. It’s very quotable and some of the lines that the characters come out with are priceless; it’s that funny!
Not to mention the amazing storlyline, be it a trip to Hawaii or simply a soccer match, Modern Family never disappoints.Even the “weakest” episodes have a few laugh-out-loud moments and many chuckles, with the best ones just being tears in your eyes laughter and on the floor hysteria!
1. Gloria:
If nothing so far convinced you, there is no turning back from this one. Sofia Vergara, as Gloria, is the final name in amazing. She’s crazy, stunning, loud, loving and fiercely protective. She is incredibly attention-seeking, over-competitive and highly feisty. She is incessantly trying to make herself extremely noticeable in a crowd when it comes to her appearance, and is extraordinarily ferocious when other women get more attention than her – this is why she dismisses all of the young, attractive female babysitters from her house so they don’t outrank her. Totally Colombian, she knows a fake crime scene when she sees one. And with her AMAZING accent and expressions, this Latino is the ultimate reason why you just HAVE to watch the Modern Family.
So what are you waiting for? Go watch this amazing series today! You never know when are where you might fall in love with life all over again! :)
