Though Community was an early favorite for funniest new show of the 2009 TV season, it’s had heated, unexpected competition from ABC’s Modern Family . The show is a single-camera, mock-documentary sitcom about three families, all related: The patriarch (Ed O’Neill) is in a May-December marriage, his son (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) and the son’s partner (Eric Stonestreet) have a new...

Quick spoilers for tonight's "Modern Family" coming up just as soon as I explain that this conversation never happened... Having proved last week that the show could come up with different configurations of its large cast and still be funny, "Modern Family" jumped another important hurdle tonight, by showing that a prominent guest star could come in without overwhelming what's already...

In its few weeks on the air, ABC's warmly witty and imaginative comedy series Modern Family has quickly become one of the viewing highlights of my entire week, turning out some of the best crafted bon mots and well-constructed (if lovably flawed) characters on television. In the hands of its supremely gifted cast, the tangled relationships of the extended Pritchett-Dunphy clan are not only humorous...

The subject of theTVaddict.com’s inaugural BLOGGER BEAT DOWN is… TV.com writer Richard Lawson, who in a recent editorial claims that “MODERN FAMILY’s kid characters almost ruin the show.” How much do they bother the scribe? “To be blunt,” he admits, “I just really hate the kids.” Our Take: While Lawson points out that it’s not exactly [...]...

While last night’s Modern Family didn’t quite make me double over with laughter the way its first two episodes did, it nonetheless pulled off the trick of effortlessly straddling the territory between absurdist humor (Ed O’Neill’s Jay smashing a remote-control plane into son-in-law Phil’s face) and genuinely moving (Julie Bowen’s Claire giving dad Jay a

After a series comes out with a very funny pilot, the test of the subsequent episodes is not only whether they can be as funny as the first, but whether the show has another gear: whether the characters are one-joke specials or if they have more dimensions to them. So far, with its second episode, [...]

You know, it's really nice to see Ed O'Neill on a sitcom again. Yes, it got incredibly stupid, and maybe it's a show we're not supposed to like anymore, but Married... with Children was classic, and Ed O'Neill was hilarious on that show. Just a great sitcom performer who knew how to sell a gag even when it was too stupid to bother with, who always won the audience over and made Al Bundy an endearing...
