What is Modern Family about?
The Pritchett-Dunphy-Tucker clan is a wonderfully large and blended family. They give us an honest and often hilarious look into the sometimes warm, sometimes twisted, embrace of the modern family.
Modern Family (2009)
This large, blended family navigates life's heartwarming and wholesome moments with witty, dry humor.
Feel-good and cozy, with dry wit. A comfort watch at a measured pace. Emotionally it carries some weight.
