This remains far and away the best prime-time sitcom: crisp and farcical, but very kind. [25 Oct 2010, p.37]

This fast-paced mockumentary perfectly captures the experience of parenthood.

Such a good show. The episodes go by so quickly, because it's so entertaining to watch and never feels like a slog to get through. The comedy is actually really funny, and the show still manages to have it's "deeper" moments where the characters actually grow and go through developments.

Modern Family was created by Danny DeVito and Jerry Seinfeld, my favorite comedians of all time. It's no wonder that it's the 4th highest-grossing television program ever created. my cousin, Julio Von Matterhorn plays, probably my favorite character on the show, Manny Alberto Javier Alejandro Delgado. My sister references this show while she bullies the neighborhood kids, it's a shame because she is 22 years old and our neighbors are only 5-7 years old so it isn't really fair if you think about it. Maybe it's the show's fault that she does this, hahahahaha I have a feeling that Modern Family is propaganda for the Australian Kangaroo Mob, I'm pretty sure I saw a kangaroo in one of the episodes of that show. Overall I can't be beaten in Rock, Paper, Scissors, or Connect four, but Modern Family is pretty mediocre, for Danny DeVito's first romp I had higher expectations, but that Kramer character was pretty charming.

This is the funniest sitcom pilot of the fall.

The best of the bunch, and the best new series of the fall, comes first.

Any one of these families has the potential to power a decent sitcom, but Modern Family manages to juggle all three in a balancing act that is not just funny, but heartwarming, and when was the last time you saw that on TV?

[The mockumentary style is] used not to excess but to success, which is just what this wise, clever and bighearted comedy ought to be.

With its deft writing and sharp performances, the show is a telling snapshot of how families live now.

funny, easy to watch, many different characters with balanced flaws and strengths. Immersion is good, because while many things are of course over the top, it still is believable for the world/character and entertaining. A nice feelgood show. 10 out of 10 watched many times again :)

my all time favourite show to watch, if i just want to relax. every character is unique and funny in their own way. i'm so glad this show doesn't have those annoying laugh tracks.

Come to watch Ty Burrell kill it; stay because everyone else is doing fine work, even if they're not given much to do. Consider leaving because the writing that doesn't involve Ty Burrell's character is weak and the direction is consistently sloppy. Eventually leave because for a series that labels itself as progressive, it has at least one deeply problematic quip or plotline in virtually every episode.

there is one thing this show screams: people sheltered from reality and coddled living in their bubbles of alternative realities. In every way it is comparable to what you would get drinking lukewarm water diluted with lukewarm water. It's properly insufferable to anyone with any measurable degree of self-respect. You might be the customer for this type of product if you already love soap operas.
