5.0 out of 5 stars Best Sitcom, February 1, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Modern Family Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)
In a world of really bad TV shows, Modern Family has come through as one of the best my family has seen in quite a long time. It seems in today's TV show world we are bombarded with ridiculous reality shows and sitcoms that have no redeeming value. This show has everything we could ask for in quality family entertainment. We missed the first season and bought it from Amazon's video on demand.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny, Smart and Warmhearted, January 28, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Modern Family Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)
This is a smart show that is not preachy and is neither too PC nor too uptight. Well written, witty and fast paced, the show can be both hilarious and heart-warming. Although it does not shy away from "modern issues", the show is one I watch with my family. One of the best to come out in a long time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious mixed family!, October 23, 2009
This review is from: Modern Family Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)
Pilot
This episode was funny. I think the cliche's are right on what you expect from this type of blended family. I would watch it to see what else this comedy came up with.
