Premise

edit

Modern Familyrevolves around three different types of families (nuclear,blended,andsame-sex) living in suburban Los Angeles, who are interrelated through wealthy businessman Jay Pritchett and his two children, Claire and Mitchell.

Jay remarried a much younger woman, Gloria Delgado (née Ramirez), a passionateColombian immigrant[6]with whom he has a young son, Fulgencio “Joe” Joseph (born in themiddle of the fourth season), and a stepson from Gloria's previous marriage,[7]Manuel "Manny" Delgado. Jay and Gloria's respective former spouses, DeDe and Javier, both also make occasional appearances in the show.

Claire was a homemaker, though returned to the business world in the fifth season, eventually becoming the chief executive of her father's business, Pritchett's Closets and Blinds. She is married to Phil Dunphy, a realtor and a self-professed "cool dad", who is also an amateur magician and real-estate lecturer at community college. They have three children: Haley, a stereotypically ditzy teenaged girl;[8]Alex, an intelligent and nerdy middle child;[9]and Luke, the offbeat only son.[10]Haley's on-and-off boyfriend, Dylan, is a permanent fixture on the show, with the two eventually marrying and having two children, Poppy and George.

Mitchell is a lawyer who is in a same-sex relationship withCameron Tucker,a former music teacher who occasionally works as a substitute. The two have adopted a baby daughter, Lily, ofVietnamese origin,and are later on legally married. At the end of the show, they adopt another child, Rexford.

As the show's name suggests, it depicts a modern-day extended family; many episodes are comically based on situations that many families encounter in real life.

Development and production

edit

Initial development

edit

As creators Christopher Lloyd and Steven Levitan retold stories about their families, they realized that the stories could be the basis for a show. They started working on the idea of a family being observed in a mockumentary-style show.[34]They later decided that it could be a show about three families and their experiences.[35]It was originally calledMy American Family,[36]and the camera crew was originally supposed to have been run by a fictitious Dutch filmmaker named Geert Floortje, who had lived as a teenaged exchange student with the Pritchetts and had developed a crush on Claire (while Mitchell had developed a crush on him). The producers later felt that this component was unnecessary, and it was scrapped. Lloyd preferred to look at the show as "a family show done documentary-style".[37]

Lloyd and Levitan pitched the series toCBS,NBC,and ABC (they did not pitch it toFoxbecause of issues they had with the network over a previous comedy series,Back to You,that Lloyd and Levitan also created and produced). CBS, which was not ready to make a big commitment to the single-camera style of filming, rejected the series. NBC, already broadcastingThe OfficeandParks and Recreationat the time, decided against taking on a third mockumentary-style show. ABC accepted the pitch.[38]

Thepilotepisode tested positively withfocus groups,resulting in the network ordering 13 episodes and adding it to the2009–10 fall lineupdays ahead of ABC's official schedule announcement.[39]The series was given a full-season pickup in October 2009.[40]

Filming

edit

Principal photographytook place in Los Angeles.[41]Many of the exteriors used are on the city'sWestside.The Dunphys' house is in theCheviot Hillsneighborhood. As of 2014,Palisades Charter High Schoolis used for the exteriors of Luke and Manny's school.[42]

Lloyd and Levitan, whose credits both includeFrasier,Wings,andJust Shoot Me!,are executive producers of the series, serving asshowrunnerandhead writerunder their Lloyd-Levitan Productions label in affiliation with20th Century Fox Television.[41]The other original producers on the writing team were Paul Corrigan,Sameer Gardezi,Joe Lawson,Dan O'Shannon,Brad Walsh, Caroline Williams, Bill Wrubel, Danny Zuker, and Jeff Morton.[41][43]

Starting with the second season, Levitan and Lloyd ran the show, not as a team, but separately, with each showrunner supervising half the episodes. "Chris and I are both strong, opinionated people, and we very, very quickly realized it doesn't make sense to sit here and debate each other and waste time," Levitan toldThe Hollywood Reporterin 2012. "We often come at it from different points of view, so we said, 'Let's just switch off who has final say.'"[44]

Litigation

edit
Cast ofModern Familyat the69th Golden Globe Awardsin January 2012

In the first season, the adult cast was paid a range of roughly $30,000 to $90,000 per episode.[45]As a result of the show's success, the cast attempted to renegotiate their contracts in the summer of 2012 to obtain higher per-episode fees, but talks broke down to the point that the fourth season's firsttable readhad to be postponed.

Five of the cast members (Ty Burrell,Julie Bowen,Jesse Tyler Ferguson,Eric StonestreetandSofía Vergara) retained theQuinn Emanuellaw firm and sued 20th Century Fox Television inLos Angeles County Superior Courton July 24, 2012.[46]While not part of the lawsuit,Ed O'Neilljoined his fellow castmates in seeking raises for each to about $200,000 per episode; O'Neill had already been earning more money per episode than the other five. The lawsuit invoked the "seven-year rule" in California Labor Code Section 2855 (theDe Havilland Law) and requested adeclarationthat their contracts were void because they were in violation of that rule.[47]

By October 25, 2012, the conflict had been in final talks for a settlement, with plaintiffs planning thereafter to file a dismissal (which they ultimately did on November 19, 2012).[46]The five adult cast members' salaries were increased from $55,000–$65,000 per episode to $150,000–$175,000, with increases every season, plus a percentage of residual profits.[48]O'Neill had already been earning $200,000 an episode, so his salary was lowered to parity with his co-stars, but with a larger percentage of the back-end profits.[49]By that August, four of the five child stars negotiated increases from $15,000–$25,000 to $70,000 per episode,[50]with an additional $10,000 per season raise.[51]

Themes

edit

InThe New York Times,Bruce Feilercalled attention to how the show depicts the increasing way communications technology shapes the way people perceive others, even family members. "[It] is surely the first family comedy that incorporates its ownhashtagof simultaneous self-analysis directly into the storyline, "he writes."Mark Zuckerbergmay be a greater influence onModern FamilythanNorman Lear."[63]

The show's writers and actors agree. "We used to talk about how cellphones killed the sitcom because no one ever goes to anyone's house anymore" for routine information,Abraham Higginbothamtold Feiler. "We embrace technology so it's part of the story." Ty Burrell draws onFran Lebowitz's observation that there is no institution other than media.[64]"I had this little flash of Phil—and me—that we are parsing our personality together externally from how people perceive us."[63]

James Parker ofThe Atlanticcommented, "How does one 'parent'? Who does what, which 'role'? Is Dad sufficiently dad-like and Mom enough of a mom?"[65]

In a 2014 article inSlate,the site's podcast executive producer, Andy Bowers, a resident of Los Angeles' Westside, where the show films most of its exteriors, praised the series for its realistic depiction of life in that part of the city.[42]

In 2016, aNew York Timesstudy of the 50 TV shows with the mostFacebook likesfound thatModern Family's "audience pattern is the prototypical example of a city show — most popular in liberal, urban clusters in Boston, San Francisco, and Santa Barbara, California, and least popular in the more rural parts of Kentucky, Mississippi, and Arkansas".[85]

Season 1

edit

The first season was met with critical acclaim. It scored 100%, based on 28 reviews, on review aggregator websiteRotten Tomatoes,with anaverage ratingof 8.55/10 and the critical consensus: "Thanks to sharp writing and an eccentric but exceedingly likeable cast of characters,Modern Familysignals the triumphant return of the family comedy. "[122]The first season also scored 86/100, based on 27 reviews, on review aggregator websiteMetacritic,indicating "universal acclaim".[123]

Entertainment Weeklygave it an A−, calling it "immediately recognizable as the best new sitcom of the fall."[124]InTime's review, the show was named "the funniest new family comedy of the year."[125]It has also been compared to the 1970s seriesSoapbecause of the multiple-family aspect. Some have made comparisons toThe OfficeandParks and Recreationbecause of their mockumentary formats.[126]BuddyTVnamed the show the second best show in 2009, saying, "Every actor is fantastic, every family is interesting, and unlike many shows, there isn't a weak link."[127]Robert Canning ofIGNgave the season an 8.9 calling it "Great" and saying "Simply put,Modern Familywas one of the best new comedies of the season. "He also praised the ensemble cast and the characters, calling them lovable.[128]According to Metacritic, the first season was the best reviewed new broadcast television series.[129]

Modern Familydrew criticism from theLGBTcommunity for its portrayal of Cameron and Mitchell as not being physically affectionate with each other. The criticism spawned a Facebook campaign to demand that Mitchell and Cameron be allowed to kiss. In response to the controversy, producers released a statement that a season two episode would address Mitchell's discomfort withpublic displays of affection.Executive producer Levitan has said that it was unfortunate that the issue had arisen, since the show's writers had always planned on such a scene "as part of the natural development of the show."[130]The episode "The Kiss"eventually aired with the kiss scene in the background, which drew praise from multiple critics.[131][132]

Season 2

edit

The show's second season received mostly positive reviews from critics. Season two has a rating of 88% onRotten Tomatoesbased on 16 reviews, with anaverage scoreof 8.11/10 and the consensus: "Modern Family's sophomore season sings with ingenious sitcom structure and an ensemble in perfect comedic harmony – even if the tunes are a little familiar ".[133]Robert Bianco ofUSA Todaygave the second season four out of four stars, saying "Not sinceFrasierhas a sitcom offered such an ideal blend of heart and smarts, or proven itself so effortlessly adept at so many comic variations, from subtle wordplay to big-laugh slapstick to everything in between. "[134]In a later review Bianco stated "as good as it was in its first year, is even better in its second", positively comparing the characters to the characters fromThe Mary Tyler Moore Show,The Cosby Show,andFriends.[135]During the second season,Adweeknamed the show one of the 100 Most Influential TV Shows (98th chronologically).[136][137]Despite this, some critics were less favorable toward the season and described it as asophomore slump.[138][139]Eric Stonestreet's acting was widely praised throughout the first season,[128]but criticized during season two for being too contrived and "over-the-top";[140][141]Alan Sepinwallcalled Cameron Tucker a "whiny, overly-sensitive diva".[140]On the other hand, the praise for Ty Burrell's performance (as Phil Dunphy) continued.[128][142][143]

Season 3

edit

The third season was met with critical acclaim. OnRotten Tomatoes,season three has a rating of 92% based on 13 reviews, with anaverage scoreof 8.33/10 and the consensus: "Modern Familysettles into a well-oiled groove, consistently delivering inspired farce and making it look effortless. "[144]Slant Magazinereviewer Peter Swanson wrote that while the first episode was "the type of wacky-location stunt that's usually reserved for the fifth or sixth season of a dying sitcom," the following episodes "have been better... but they're still uneven".[145]He also criticized the writers for relying too much on "stunt episodes and celebrity cameos, like David Cross".[145]He ultimately gave the season 3 out of 4 stars.[145]James Parker ofThe Atlanticsaid, at the beginning of the third season that "Modern Familyis very, very funny, almost ruthlessly so. It's a bit of a master class in pace and brevity. The writing isVorsprung durch Technik:hectically compressed but dramatically elegant, prodigal in its zingers and snorters but austere in its construction. "He found it an exception to his dislike for sitcoms that do not use alaugh track.[65]During the third season,New York TimescolumnistFrank Bruniargued that gay criticism of Cameron and Mitchell actually showed the progress gays have made toward social acceptance. "A decade ago," he wrote, "[gays] would have balked—and balked loudly—at how frequently Cameron in particular tips into limp-wristed, high-voiced caricature." But now, "most gay people trust that the television audience knows we're a diverse tribe, not easily pigeonholed.Modern Familyendows us with a sort of comic banality. It's an odd kind of progress. But it's progress nonetheless. "[146]

Season 4

edit

The fourth season ofModern Familyreceived positive reviews from critics. Rotten Tomatoes gives the season an approval rating of 67% based on 11 reviews, with anaverage scoreof 7.75/10 and the consensus: "Modern Familystill has charm to burn and boasts a uniformly excellent cast, but the series' subversive edge has dulled ".[147]Halfway through the season, Rachel Stein ofTelevision Without Pitywrote, "much as I liked the pairings and some of the dialogue, ["New Year's Eve"] is just another contrived episode of Modern Family we can cite when we talk later about how a different show should have won the 2013 Emmy for Best Comedy."[148]Dalene Rovenstein ofPaste Magazinegave the season a positive review, but said a better season was possible.[149]

Season 5

edit

The fifth season ofModern Familyalso received positive reviews. On Rotten Tomatoes, season five has a rating of 90% based on 10 reviews, with anaverage scoreof 7.57/10 and the consensus: "Modern Familyreturns to its conventional roots with grace in a fifth season that delights in providing reliable laughs and rekindles the show's trademark warmth ".[150]Reviewing the season's first eight episodes, Matthew Wolfson ofSlant Magazinewrote that the show "appear[ed] to have finally arrived at the depressing and predictable low point toward which it [had] been trending for the past two years." He also went on to say that the show had "turned into a shrill pastiche of stereotypical characterizations and superficial banter lacking both feeling and wit", assigning it a rating of 1.5/4 stars.[151]Different writers forThe A.V. Clubrated, in total, a majority of the former-half episodes with a "B−" grade or less. One writer for the magazine, Joshua Alston, gave "ClosetCon '13"a" C+ "and remarked that"Modern Familybecomes a high-wire act when it separates its characters into three storylines with no overlap between them. "[152]The second half was more warmly received, with three episodes rated an "A−" or higher.

edit

The show's sixth season received highly positive reviews from TV critics, with some claiming that it was an improvement over the last few seasons.[153]This season has a rating of 100% onRotten Tomatoesbased on 7 reviews, with anaverage scoreof 7.67/10.[154]Joshua Alston and Gwen IhnatThe A.V.

You'll Love It!" – marking an improvement over the repeated "C" grade given throughout the previous season's former half.[155]"Connection Lost" received high critical acclaim, with many praising the episode's writing, originality and "success in transcending what could have been a gimicky episode".[156][157][158]In her review for "Closet? You'll Love It!" Gwen Ihnat ofThe A.V. Clubstated that the episode represents "all the reasons why we still watch Modern Family" and awarded the episode an A−.[159]On the same site, David Kallison reviewed "Grill, Interrupted", saying: "This season proves that sitcoms can survive on solid characters and solid jokes."[160]

Season 7

edit

On Rotten Tomatoes, this season is rated 67% with 6 reviews and an average rating of 6.5/10.[161]Kyle Fowle fromThe A.V. Clubhad a very mixed reaction to the season, only giving one episode an A− or higher.[162]Fowle felt the season was frustrating, believing the season would be defined "by its lack of character progress and overstuffed episodes."[163]

Later seasons

edit

The series was renewed for a 9th and 10th season on May 10, 2017.[164]Season 9 premiered on September 27, 2017, while season 10 premiered on September 26, 2018.[165]

Seasons 8 and 9 received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics, with main criticisms directed at the lack of character development, overstuffing of episodes, and too many filler episodes per season. While the show continued to be praised for its charm, witty writing, and the cast's performances, criticism grew in these seasons, particularly from reviewers such as those atThe A.V. Club.

In January 2018, Steve Levitan and Christopher Lloyd announced that season 10 would most likely be the final season, during theTelevision Critics Association's winter press tour.[166]However, in August 2018, reports indicated that ABC was in discussions to renew the series for a potential eleventh season.[167]

The series was praised for its tackling of Haley's pregnancy, the humor of Mitch and Cam looking after Cal, and its dealing with change in a positive way. Episodes "Torn Between Two Lovers", "Good Grief", and "A Year Of Birthdays" were particularly praised.

The series was renewed for an eleventh season on January 7, 2019, which was confirmed as the final season on February 5. The last season premiered on September 25, 2019, and aired its last episode on April 8, 2020.[168][3]

Emmy Awards received by cast

The following is a list ofEmmynominations received by the cast of the series. Wins are highlighted inboldface.

Criticism

edit

Michelle Haimoff of theChristian Science Monitorcriticized the show during its third season for only casting the women as stay-at-home moms while the husbands have highly successful careers: "There is a difference between quirky, flawed characters and ones who are incapable of professional success. And when the latter is reliably female, it makes for sexist television. It also makes for unrealistic television."[182]Late Night with Jimmy Fallonwriter Ali Waller asked her Twitter followers in 2013 "IfModern Familyis so 'modern' then why don't any of the women have jobs? "[183]Other authors reinforced this criticism, claiming that stay-at-home mothers are no longer the norm in modern society.[184]Claire later went to work in season five.

According to aCNETstaffer commenting on a first-season episode: "The wife and daughter are unable to learn how to use the remote and must be taught by the father, while the son is 'good with electronics,' even though he is thought of as the stupidest member of the family."[185]Arianna Reiche fromGawkercommented on the episode "Game Changer" in which Gloria hides her skill at chess so her husband will not be upset at losing: "This moment is at best a sappy quip about compromise in an often heavy-handed series, and at worst, it's a moment in a show with 9.3 million viewers, on a network owned by Disney, which explicitly validates girls and women subduing their intellect."[186]

Impact

edit

InWandaVisionEpisode 7, titled "Breaking the Fourth Wall,"the sitcom elements pay homage toModern Family.[187][188]The episode mirrorsModern Family's setting, aesthetic, and "mockumentary" format, including a title card that closely resembles that ofModern Family.[189][190]Actress Julie Bowen expressed her gratitude on Instagram for the homage toModern Family.Her post featured two images: one of TVs paused on theWandaVisiontitle sequence, which mimicsModern Family's font and format, and another of Wanda staring deadpan at the camera, reminiscent of Bowen's portrayal of Claire Dunphy. In the caption, Bowen conveyed her surprise and appreciation, extending her thanks to Marvel for the reference.[191][192]

Adaptations

edit
  • Chile:MEGAwas the first in the world to buy the rights ofModern Familyto produce their own version of the series, with the titleFamilia moderna,which premiered on December 3, 2015.[193]One difference in this is Mitchell and Cameron's counterparts in this version do not adopt, but instead one of them is the biological father of the child as a result of a drunken fling. They take custody of the child while the mother travels overseas.[194]
  • Greece:Mega Channelbought the rights ofModern Familyfor Greece and Cyprus and announced aGreek languageadaptation, under the nameModerna Oikogeneia,which premiered on March 20, 2014.[195][196]
  • Iran: TheIslamic Republic of Iran Broadcastingproduced a scene-by-scene remake ofModern Family,titledHaft Sangwhich premiered on June 30, 2014. However, in this version the same-sex relationship between Cam and Mitchell of the original series was replaced by aheterosexualrelationship.[197]Also,Haley Dunphy's character is replaced by a teenage boy.[198]Due to this change, Haley's boyfriendDylanis replaced by a close friend of the teenage boy.[199]

Potential spinoff

edit

In June 2020, ABC Entertainment president Karey Burke discussed a spin-off ofModern Familycentered around Mitch and Cam, inspired by an idea from series co-creator and executive producer, Steven Levitan.[200]In June 2022, star Jesse Tyler Ferguson confirmed that the script for the show's spinoff is completed. "The script's out there and it's very good," he told. "So you know, who knows? If someone wants to produce it, maybe."[201]In September 2024, Eric Stonestreet stated that the spin-off "[isn't] potential anymore" and that the time to produce it has passed, despite believing that the series would have been a "slam dunk".[202]

In early 2013, a spin-off series centered aroundRob Riggle's character Gil Thorpe was revealed to be in early stages of development.[203]
