Coming off a glorious sweep of the Emmys, “Modern Family” returns September 22nd for its second season. Having won a long string of awards, including from the AFI, DGA, WGA, TCA, as well as the prestigious Peabody and six Emmy awards, “Modern Family” is one of the most heavily decorated and recognized comedy shows on television – and that was all in its first year!
“Modern Family” is a brilliant blend of comedy with semi-documentary commentary that is both engaging and entertaining. Focusing on a multi-tiered family all searching for love, happiness and a bit of peace while bringing up their children in today’s modern world of techno-gadgets, unconventional child-rearing techniques, and too many distractions caught everyone’s attention right away, the show invites us to experience all the hilarious travails of everyday life with them.
Focusing on three distinct families, related by marriage and blood: the Dunphys (Phil, Claire, Haley, Alex and Luke); Jay, Gloria and Manny; and Mitchell, Cam and baby Lily; their lives are intertwined in ways that invoke much love and laughter. Whether it be from a misguided attempt to get to know their babysitter better over brunch, an exploration of what might be lurking underneath the house, or an attempt at chivalry at a fencing match, the show knows how to showcase the finer and funnier moments of life.
If anyone has not heard of this magnificent series, then this is the time to jump-in. As it returns Wednesday nights at 9:00 p.m. on ABC, “Modern Family” is set to sweep the entire 2010-2011 season as grandly as it did last season.
