Modern Family is a hilarious comedy show where each episode has you clutching at your sides and roaring with laughter. It revolves around the perspectives of 3 connected families, not only by blood but by their unhindered and unconditional love towards one another Each episode always has a meaningful message disguised by witty antics and relatable situations that we might find ourselves in. The show incorporates a wide variety of people you would find in your life like the competitive, the aggressive, the optimist, the spontaneous, and the socialist (just to name a few). The episodes are very well made, the script is fantastic, each joke cracked is a home run and the actors are superb and match their role perfectly. As the show ran for 11 years, we watched the characters grow up, building their own lives. However, we do not just watch their lives happen, we live their lives. We see the ways they have changed and how they have become their own unique individual self. We are taken on a heart-warming journey filled with laughter, happiness, and love while experiencing loss, pain, and failures. Modern Family teaches us important values in life like forgiveness, optimism, acceptance, and honesty. This show really reminds you that despite disappointments in life, family is always there for you and that they are the most important aspect of our lives. Modern family displays this along with valuable life lessons through a perfectly imperfect family, each member having a completely different outlook to life.
