"MODERN FAMILY"--Best family sitcom on TV by far. Best since "Arrested Development."

[Bicoastal]

One of the best EVER, if it remains consistent in future seasons.

That's my ruling and I stick by it. (bangs gavel)

1. Flyza Minnelli.

It's okay. }(

6. And Zsa Zsa Ga-Boa

And Jay never knew his son was gay!!

When Jay staged the crime scene, I could not stop laughing.

2. Absolutely the funniest show currently on broadcast TV.

Laugh out loud funny. It's a little softer edge than Arrested Development, and the characters are more likeable and a little less oddball. But still very, very, funny.

And Sophia Vergara has to be the sexiest woman ever to walk on the face of the earth. That's my ruling and I stick by it. (bangs gavel).

4. Yes, it's very good.

My sweetie got me interested in watching it. :loveya:

[Richardo]

5. I'm a big fan.

It's funny, without mugging for a studio audience. The show has some depth to the stories and characters in addition to the humor. :thumbsup:

7. Why, oh why, oh why can't we recommend threads in the Lounge?

I heartily endorse your ruling!

10. agreed

One of the very best sitcoms I've ever seen.

[Catshrink]

11. I loved Arrested Development

and haven't watched anything much lately. So... what network is this program on? What day/time?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

13. ABC at 9:00

It' not quite at AD's level, but it's as close as you'll get from anything currently on TV.

[Catshrink]

14. Thursdays?

[Love Bug]

19. Wednesdays

eom

16. For me it's the first show to even touch the hilarity of Arrested Development.

It's not quite there yet but a show even half as funny as Arrested Development is still damn funny. And I would say Modern Family is at the 80-90% mark. Really, really hilarious

[Catshrink]

17. I'm really looking forward to seeing it.

[rcrush]

15. That show reminds me of Married With Children but like 20 years later

Al Bundy finally divorced Peg and married a hot Columbian chicka

Bud grew up and realized he was gay

Kelly grew up and became a housewife

And Peggy is Shelly Longs character.


They all seem like older and a little more serious versions of Married With Children. Its pretty cool.

[TommyO]

20. That's an interesting take on "Married" vs "Modern"

I was on the fence when I saw the first few episodes, but when Cam and Mitchell went to Costco (Episode 3, "Come Fly with Me"), I was hooked! Then there was Fizbo...

[Love Bug]

18. I so agree!

Everyone, and I mean everyone -- even the kids -- are very funny on this show. It has some of the best writing ever on a sitcom.

21. A little kick for the Friday crowd

[bigwillq]

22. I've only seen bits and pieces

but what I have seen is hysterical!
Too bad it goes up against Criminal Minds. That's what I watch Wed. at 9 p.m.
