If we believe the Emmy’s, Modern Family is the best comedy on television this year. So the Cricket better check it out! It’s a mockumentary-style series that follows the life of Jay Pritchett (Ed O’Neill, Married ... with Children), his daughter Claire Dunphy (Julie Bowen, Happy Gilmore), and his son Mitchell Pritchett (Jesse Tyler Ferguson, The Class). We get the bouncing and shaking camera, the talking heads offering a running commentary, while supposedly hilarious scenes ensue. Jay, despite his physical appearance, is married to beautiful Gloria, a much younger Columbian woman. Homemaker Claire is married to self-proclaimed “cool dad” Phil, whose antics are too lame to believe. Gay Mitchell has just adopted a Vietnamese girl with his partner Cameron – their differences are played out throughout: one is mild-manner, but uptight; the other is flamboyantly dramatic. On paper, this sounds like it should be good fun, but from this pilot episode I cannot say I am impressed... but I will give it the benefit of the doubt.
I love Modern Family and am so excited you're watching it too!!!!! It's just good clean fun, nothing intellectual really.
