Modern Family Craze

Award winning T.V show “Modern Family” is amazing yet disappointing at the same time. The actors. Where do we begin? Well first off, they are Spectacular! They do the show so well it doesn’t seem like they are acting like a family, they look like a family! Are you squirming in your seat impatient to find out where you can watch the best show ever? Well, you’re in luck! You can watch “Modern Family” On many different platforms! Some might be worried about the quality of the show. Well, the great thing about “Modern Family” is that they have great quality for every platform! I recommend this for people who need something to cheer them up.

Beautiful show with flawed characters (+ occasional revealing clothing); requires parental guidance on relationships

Every episode of modern family ends with a short heartfelt speech about marriage/ family. However, parents should know that couples featured in this show often lie or go behind their partners' back to do something that they want to do, which isn't exactly harmless, but may give children an incorrect idea about how relationships should be. Also, Gloria and Haley dress quite provocatively in every episode, with considerable cleavage showing. There are also quite a number of scenes in which the family is at the beach and one episode (in S8) featuring a strip club that Manny lost his graduation sash in. One of Haley's (many) relationships started with the guy cheating on his long-time girlfriend with Haley, so parents should perhaps look out for that as well. Otherwise, this is a heartwarming, feel-good show because even though each family member has their own flaws, they always come through for each other at the end. With proper parental guidance here and there, I feel this is a humourous show that teenagers will come to love as well.

Despite having a homosexual couple, not as "modern" as it tries to be

This is okay as a sitcom, but not something to take seriously. The women in the show are somewhat stereotypical, mainly being concerned with their families, although the men don't seem to have much of a life outside of the home either.

So funny!

Amazing show, so hilarious. Genuinely the funniest show I’ve ever watched, I’m 17 but think maybe the humour is a little advanced for kids Under 12, but has a few offensive jokes and swear words, but no sex etc so I would say appropriate for 12-13+

Fun for the family, be aware of adult content

I love this show, and so do my older children! This show teaches a great message: love holds a family together. Not for the child who parrots, however, there is certainly adult language. Younger kids might not understand adult content, and it might make older kids feel uncomfortable. Stereotypes are there, but if you talk to your child about them, they are not a huge deal. If you handpick the episodes that you show your younger children, (9-11), this is such a winner!

Best show ever

I love this show, I've watched it so many times, and it has very good messages on everything from safe sex to the LGBTQ+ community. Also, it's hilarious!
