Modern Family --Anyone Watch It?

ABC.com - Modern Family - Home

I don't know if anyone saw this last week but I can't recall ever laughing so hard in my life at a TV show. There is an adoption story line in it. Which is also obviously meant to be comedic. It certainly is worth a watch on Wednesday if you are looking for a laugh. If you have time, watch the first episode on the computer before then.

Glad I am not the only one with a sick sense of humor. Every time I think "He's a bit dramatic. . ." I crack up laughing!

Thanks for the tip! I just watched the link that you sent. I've become culturally illiterate. I have no idea what is on tv other than Dora and the Wonder Pets. Oh. And the cable series... Big Love, Tudors, Nurse Jackie, and I'm ashamed to admit, Dexter. But they seem to be something like 9 episodes a year? I can only watch stuff that is on on-demand. Or on a web page! On those rare occaions when Liana is asleep.

I enjoyed it a lot. I laughed. And I actully was really moved by the grandpa at the end. The charactors were all a bit over the top. I look forward to seeing them develp more complexities, like grandpa did.

unfortunately I have 2 shows that I like at the same time as Modern Family and my dvr can only do two shows at once and even if I record the two shows, it won't let me get off one of those channels to a 3rd one.

(this is such a byline for an AT&T dvr/cable commercial...I just like time warner)

I watched the start of it, need to catch the end... It was fun, although I'm sure I'll relate to it more in a few years.

You can watch it online by the way.. we don't have TV so I watch all my shows online (stupid House is only online 8 days later though, which stinks!).
