Modern Family

Modern Family is an American comedy series. It came out September 23rd 2009.

It tells the story of three families, whom are all related at the same time. This comedy series is called "Modern Family" because these families don`t follow the old stereotypes of what "a family is supposed to look like". For example we have the gay couple, Mitchell and Cameron, they adopted a Vietnamese baby, Lily, and take care of her like if she was their own. Jay and Gloria are married, but she is almost twenty years younger than him and has a kid, Manny, from her old marriage. Clair is Jay`s daughter (Mitchell is also Jay`s son) and she is married to Phil, and together they have three kids.

Some of the Characters!

 Jay is on his sixties, old millionaire, father of two. He is married to a beautiful Colombian woman, (who is much younger than him) and becomes step dad of her son. Jay is very homophobic, but this has to change when he finds out his son is homosexual, the love he feels for his son will make him change his attitude towards gay people. He spends most of his time at the golf club, where he meets with his friends. Jay tries to get Many (his step son) to kinda give up on his Colombian roots, but at the end is Jay the one who's getting used to have that Latin atmosphere around him.

Gloria is a beautiful Colombian woman, she is a very loving wife and mother. Her accent leads her to mispronounce English words, earrings as "hair-rings", among many others. Gloria is always trying to get along with Clair (Jay's daughter), because she has a feeling that Clair doesn't like her very much. Gloria can be very impulsive, and is full of energy, always protecting the people he loves, she is also very loud, and always shouting. She has a high tolerance for spicy food, is an amazing gun shooter, and also is the most religious person in the whole family. She loves her son to death and will do anything to make him happy.

Phil is married to Clair, he sees himself as the "cool" dad who texts lol- laugh out loud, omg-oh my god, and wtf- why the face. He is always trying to bond with his three kids. Phil has a crush on Gloria but  he doesn't always show it . He is also scared of clowns, and is competitive when it comes to playing basketball with his son Luke. Phil will do beyond the impossible to get Jay's approval, in one occasion he fixed his printer, and kept bringing it up for he rest of the season.


Funny  Quotes!

Manny: What kind of man writes poetry on the computer?
Jay: You could have ended that sentence after poetry

Gloria: You had a 3 hour nap on Sunday.
Jay: I was tired.
Gloria: From what, your 2 hour nap on Saturday?

Claire: You have dumb ideas.
Phil: Name one...that went on for awhile

Gloria: If she learns how to froth his cappuccino I am history!


This show is presented as a "mockumentary", they talk directly into the camera, and talk about their every day's lives. The episodes take place at the houses of each family. This show is targeted to the different people in our society. For example, Gloria is Colombian and USA is known for the many Latin American cultures mixed in the American population, therefore Gloria represents all the Latin people. Mitchell and Cam represent the gay community, and how they have come a long way in our society.
At the end of each episode they leave a message to the audience, kinda like a path to follow that will help them to be a better family.

I really enjoy this show, it shows many sides of our society, and situations that we might go through at some point in our lives. I started watching it around three weeks ago and I'm already on season four!
