Good, fun, show for the 13+ crowd!
This is one of the most realistic shows for our time. It captures how families have evolved and still connects how important families are, however they are formed. Families are dysfunctional, there is no perfect family. This is a great show of how people work through their issues, insecurities, fears and continue to progress and grow as individuals and families. And sometimes it is laugh out loud hysterical!

May be ok for young adults and older but not for children.
Our family will not watch it. Yes, it may be what the world of today calls a "modern" family but we believe in the "traditional" family. So, where is your "Common Sense" in promoting non-traditional families?!?

Don't be fooled by the glossy cover...
This is not a show for the family and definitely not for kids. The content is unpredictable, sometimes sexually explict and contains profanity in every episode. One episode actually shows the parents in bed actively engaged in sex with the father standing behind his wife while she is on her hands and knees when thier kids walk in on them. The topic of having sex is openly discussed throughout the episode. This type of "comedy" is not family-friendly. The intent of the show is to diminish the traditional family and to challenge traditional values. Parents beware.

not for our family...no thanks
I wont let my kids watch this show. We belive in the traditional family unit and dont want to watch shows that promote otherwise. We would rather have conversations with our children about what is in the world and what we believe in. We want to love all types of families and not shun them but I also dont want to promote it in our family by watching shows that glorify it either.

nice show
I don't see anything in the show my daughter age ten can't watch and I think kids 8 and up would enjoy it. I guess if you have a problem with the family of today you wouldn't want your kids watching it but that has nothing to do with age. 13 plus is more like the office for instance.

Great show. Think before you watch with kids.
Modern Family is a great showcase of humanity. It is funny and definatly more extreme than most of our realities, but we all deal with the same issues. There is quite a bit of inappropriate behavior, but usually something is learned from it.

Great show. Funny and heart warming. It sends out good messages. There are mild sexual refreneces mostly between married ( or seriously commited homosexual couples). That being said there is a homosexual couple that is portrayed positivly. Some mild language and social drinking. IPad product placement obvious!

Great for young teens!
It's a great show with a positive, but often hidden, message. Funny, and charming, it's great for 13+ . There is some sexual innuendo, sexual jokes, ect. For the most part, teens and parents will enjoy the show and all the laughs that come with it.

Great Show, Great Family...12 and up
We think its one of the most intelligently written sitcoms regarding families in no matter what combo they come in. As a traditional family, we love the way the characters are portrayed...all with good intentions but the humaness in us all can backfire...that's life! Our kids all know more than we realize so that's why I think 12 and up is fine. A wonderful show, real without being "in your face".

Perfect for families to watch together
I think its funny, which is the bait, but the switch is that it's touching and the family members, while not perfect, clearly love one another and are willing to work things out. I think its good for kids to see that family life isn't always perfect (they already know that!), but it can be very rewarding, and a source of stability and values.

Fun show, has something for everyone
I watch this show with my 12 year old son. We enjoy it and there are laughs here and there. The three families all have different problems so there is something I can relate to or my son can. If I miss a episode, I won't lose sleep over it. My son likes the show more then I do. My 7 year old isn't interested in the show at all.

Great show.
This is almost like an updated version of "Full House", only less cheesy. It's pretty safe for ages ten and up, because most of the very rare sexual situations will go over their heads. It's a fun show to watch, with lessons that are lightly taught in a few episodes, too.

For 12 and up- great!
Honestly, this show is fine for the 6th grade and up. Maybe 7th. I am extremly picky about what my kids watch (I have a 12 year old and a 14 year old), but this show is great! It does VERY rarely say words like b***h, but come on, its not like your middle schoolers don't hear it all the time. It also extremly rarely reffers to sex, but its not like they dont know what that means and it is incredibly rare that they do, I understand if you dont take my advice, but belive me I am the most content-concious mother you will find! For kids under 12, I'd probably say no... But it DOES have a good, positive message, and it is incredibly funny! (and there is no voilence whatsoever.) Oh and if you let your kids watch shows like glee and pretty little liars this is way less inapropriate, and those shows aren't even that inapropriate! All in all it is good for 12 and up. Hope this helped!
