Modern Family

• Modern Family is about 3 unique couples that make up one big family. Together they go through different aspects of life and in the end of each episode they reflect on how the only thing that really matters is family.

Episodes I Wached

• Haley's 21st Birthday
• The Cold
• Three Turkeys

Analysis: Family

• Modern Family takes a different approach to the traditional family stereotypes. The three families that this show revolves around are not like the typical families we would know. There is a couple with a huge age difference as well as a gay couple with a child. Even though there is such a diversity in the characters, they all love each other like families should and lean on each other for support.

Analysis: Nature of Children

• There are five main kids on this show. They all have different personalities. Haley is the pretty one who is not very smart and relies on her looks to get ahead in life. Her sister Alex, is the smart one in the family. She feels like no one understands her because no one is at her intelligence level.

ANALYSIS: NATURE OF CHILDREN

• Luke and Manny are the same age but Manny is a 12 year old stuck in a 30 year old's body while Luke doesn’t want to grow up. Lily was adopted by Cameron and Mitchell, she is witty, cute and keeps her dads on their toes.

Analysis: Sexuality

• One of the things that makes this show different is that there is a gay couple with an adopted child. Cameron and Mitchell never fail to make the audience laugh. They are very different and it is obvious that Cameron takes on the more feminine role when it comes to raising their daughter. Mitchell makes more money than Cameron and is seen as the voice of reason.

Conclusion

• Modern Family shows the viewers that it is ok to not be a “normal” family. I appreciate that there is a show that can bring together all of these abnormal couples and make us laugh at their every day lives. This show tackles difficult subjects such as homosexuality, with humor. Modern Family shows what it means to love your family unconditionally even if you do not agree with the choices they make.
