We are big fans of this show in our house. And we are grateful for the portrayal of a gay family with children, the reason I started the blog was to share that gay people can be good parents, I am glad this show reinforces that new, positive stereotype!
Modern Family truly represents the changing face of the American family. It may not be pervasive yet, but the mixed families represented, help us to feel accepted. In any homogenous picture, my family stands out. In a diversified picture, we do not. For the sake of my son, I never want him to feel that being different is bad,. where we live, being different is the norm. Any show that reflects this level of diversity in America supports us and I am thankful for that. Plus, it is hilarious! That’s why we collect all the seasons on DVD!

We love this show!
I haven’t seen this show, will have to look for it. We have a pretty modern type of family as well, so be good to see how they view a modern family…
I wasn’t an instant winner. Isn’t funny how you always think you have a shot a winning even though the odds are low? Always fun to enter though. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing! And I completely agree. Not all families are “normal”, so to speak, and the more people see non-traditional family groups portrayed positively in mainstream media, the more those non-traditional families become “normal” and accepted. I think it goes a long way in our (American) society to quelling bigotry over time.
Gotta LOVE Modern Family! Great cast, big laughs, even bigger heart, and of course wonderful diversity!!! If you havent seen it give it a try! There’s a reason why its won best comedy Emmy three years running!
