Modern Family - season 1 (1 Viewer)

Another great episode. What stuck out to me tonight is what a great father Ty Burrell's character is, despite being a complete dope.

 

[MarkMel]

Hysterical - lol tonight.

Ozone getting almost cornered by Judy Greer in the kitchen was a hoot.

In a strange way, I think Phil and Claire's family are the most "real" family on television today. The portrayal is neither particularly flattering nor particularly horrible, and the way they all bounce off each other rings very true to my experience. All five characters have well-defined dynamics with the other four family members.

I just now caught up on this show this last week after my sister had been hounding me to watch it since the beginning, and I can't believe I neglected this show for so long. I love it, so effing funny.

Watched all 17 episodes over the last week and just read through the last 3 pages of discussion.
I have to agree with all that was said up till now. The first episode kept me interested and showed potential, and the then just got better in each subsequent episode.

Phil's character in the beginning was tough to like with the whole talking/acting cool thing. That quickly went away with a few episodes and even the beginning parts seem to sit better with me knowing his character better and being developed over the season.

Cam and Mitchel are probably my favorite group in the show so far. Cam shouting "SON OF A BITCH" at the carolers almost killed me. LOL, he is hilarious.

Ed o"Neil is great and I get no traces of Al from his character at all which is tough since I grew up on Married with Children. Great job on his part.

And Sofia, love her, accent and all.

The kidney stone episode had me rolling, I've had two of those in the past and that hit home in a torturous / funny way.
I was in tears during the whole thing on the bed and when he reaches for Luke, "you will be sorry" LOL

Pretty funny Apple advertisement tonight!

 

[Scott-S]

Yea, they really shouldnt have had commercials during this episode as it was obviously sponsered by Apple.
I wonder how much they paid for this 30 minute commercial?

I understand a little product placement (Like they do in Chuck and Psych) but this was a bit much.

Modern Family is an amazing show.I have watched all episodes of the show,they all are amazing.

 

[Eric_Connelly]

I'm not big on product placement but this is the one show I think where the characters interest was 100 percent completely and honestly viable.

Wife and I love the show and the writing is very balanced.

 

[Jeremiah]

I didn't even think of it as product placement until I read this thread. I just thought it was a goofy dad that really wanted an ipad for his birthday.

 

[Patrick Sun]

Don't kid yourself. That sort of "product placement" takes some solid coordination with the producers and Apple.

 

[Adam Lenhardt]

Coincidence?

ABC shows heading to iPads

Ed O'Neill says Season Two to start shooting August 1.
