    The Patriarch, Jay, with Gloria

    With well developed characters filled with passion heart and personality, Modern Family delivers in each carefully constructed act. Each punch-line is on point and each moment is unexpected. It is nice that they approach this series like a reality series because the characters get moments to show even more of their deeply constructed character. For example, when Phil, “the hip dad”, in the traditional dad is first introduced, he describes himself, I’m cool dad, that’s my thang. I’m hip, I surf the web, I text. LOL: laugh out loud, OMG: oh my god, WTF: why the face” Definitely a belly laugh moment if you are a texter.

    There are unforgettable sweet moments of connection between the family members which are priceless. When the adorable Manny, the honest cuddly son of Gloria, the young hot Columbian and Jay(Ed O’Neill, Married with Children), decides to confront the love of his life a 16 year old blonde at the mall, Jay discourages him, ” If you put on a puffy, white shirt and declare your love for a 16-year-old, you’re gonna be swinging from a flagpole in your puffy, white underpants.”

    The best moment of the night was Cameron, husband of Mitchell (the gay couple), deciding to introduce their adopted daughter Lily to a reluctant family by dimming the lights and presenting her like Simba in the Circle of Life. Once the series continues to deliver these perfect water cooler moments, it will survive. By far, one of the funniest sitcoms I have seen in a long time (i.e. next to Glee).

    ABC Network is the number one leading network for GLAAD but any day you turn on ABC you can find an image of modern America.

There are Asian, Caucasian, Latino- American and European nurses and doctors. Ugly Betty has a charming Latino family.

It’s a colorful world over at ABC and it is only going to get more colorful with ABC’s Modern Family.
