Modern Family started back in 2009 and both Ray and I loved it from the very beginning. Here was a TV show, in prime time, which explored different kinds of families from the traditional one. They all loved each other, and they all supported one another. Sure they had their misunderstandings, fights, and disagreements, but in the end they'd always come back together.
Having recently adopted two kids of our own, seeing a gay family with an adopted child on TV was certainly helpful. And that was on top of having two gay men living together as a couple who weren't at all the stereotypical, over-the-top gays a lot of people were used to seeing on TV.
Then there was the smoking-hot foreigner with a very strong accent married to a rich, older man. She was often mistaken for a gold digger, but her love for her husband was honest. And he accepted wholly her son from her previous marriage as well. This also felt very relatable, being the foreigner with an accent in my own relationship.
All in all the show had great writing and was perfectly cast. My favorite character was Cam (Eric Stonestreet), who I think always had the best lines and delivered them flawlessly.
If you're looking for a funny and heartwarming show, look no further. This one is a winner.
