''Modern Family'' is an [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] sitcom that centers on three families:
The Dunphys, traditional two-parent, three-child set with Ty Burrell as Phil aka the "cool dad", and Julie Bowen as Claire, an overprotective mom and [[Former Teen Rebel]]. Their kids are Haley, Alex, and Luke.
Line 15:
At the end of the pilot, it's revealed that [[First Episode Spoiler|all three families are related (Claire and Mitchell are Jay's children from a past marriage) and cross over into one another's stories.]] Episodes tend to rely on standard family comedy tropes and plot lines, in a [[Incredibly Lame Pun|modern]] setting. The show uses the Docucomedy format popularized by ''[[The Office]]'', and to great effect. But despite all these gimmicks, ''Modern Family'''s greatest strength is its excellent writing and acting.
When it began its first season, ''Modern Family'' quickly reached both critical acclaim and very high Nielsen numbers, becoming one of the best new comedies of 2009. Because of this success, the program has become the flagship title of [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]]'s Comedy Wednesdays along with ''[[Cougar Town]]'' and ''[[The Middle]]''. ''Modern Family'' is currently running on its third season.{{outdated}}
