Modern Family

Say goodbye to the nuclear family. This rollicking new mockumentary-style series spotlights a chaotic extended family whose individual members are both familiar and exotic. The patriarch is a middle-aged Everyman (Ed O’Neill) who has a sexy second wife (Sofia Vergara), an open, unaffected stepson (Rico Rodriguez), and two grown children: a once-wild but now buttoned-down daughter (Julie Bowen), whose nerdy husband (Ty Burrell) tries—without success—to be hip with their three kids and a worrywart gay son (Jesse Tyler Ferguson), who has adopted a Vietnamese baby with his exuberant, plus-size spouse (Eric Stonestreet). “Crazier than the Huxtables and sweeter than the Bluths, the Modern Family clan is reinventing the family comedy—and viewers can totally relate,” raves Entertainment Weekly.

Modern Family is produced by Fox Television Studios.
