Modernnnn Family

Modern Family is probably one of the funniest sitcoms there is. They have won awards for having such good actors and humor on the show. The show is about three different families that are all related. The first family is Phil, Claire, Alex, Luke, and Hailey. Claire is the control freak that bosses around everybody. Phil is probably my favorite on the show because he tries to wear the pants in the family and keep a positive attitude the whole time but everybody just makes fun of him and pushes him around. The daughter Alex and Hailey are complete opposites, Alex is really smart and doesn’t care about the way she looks while Hailey is not the sharpest tool in the shed and only cares about her appearance. Luke is the youngest and is very naive to everything; he also thinks that his dad is he coolest person in the world. Claire's brother Mitchell who is married to his gay partner named Cameron and they have an adopted girl named Lily. Mitchell is also uptight like Claire, while Cameron is very theatrical and not afraid of expressing his feelings. They are both very proud to be gay and if somebody makes fun of them they will confront them. Even though Cameron is very feminine he tries to act like the tuff guy who drives trucks and likes sports even though that’s not him at all. Finally there is Claire and Mitchell's dad named Jay, he is married to his second wife named Gloria and he has a step son named Manny. Jay isn’t a very excepting man; he doesn’t like how Mitchell is gay and he doesn’t like Phil at all. He is the kind of man who doesn’t express his feeling and if something is wrong to him he has to fix it the way he wants. His wife Gloria is a young, beautiful, and South American with a very strong accent and love for her home country. She tries to make everybody feel better and is willing to accept anybody as her friend or family. Their son Manny is the same age as Luke but is far more intelligent. He is attracted to girls and is always trying to impress them with poems and is intellectuality, it doesn’t work half of the time but he never stops trying. Each family has their own problems and situations and sometimes all three families have the same problem. But somehow they always figure out a solution and move on with their lives. Each episode teaches you a moral about family, work, friends, or how to make a bad situation turn good. It gets chaotic but by the end of the show they make it work. I like this show because I can relate to situations that I’ve gone through with my own family, but they make it funny and good to watch. If you have never seen this show I would suggest watching it, there is no way you wouldn’t appreciate it. (501 words)
