Season 1 Review: This remains far and away the best prime-time sitcom: crisp and farcical, but very kind. [25 Oct 2010, p.37]

Paige Wiser

Season 1 Review: This fast-paced mockumentary perfectly captures the experience of parenthood. Read full review

Entertainment Weekly

Ken Tucker

Season 1 Review: Modern Family works because it does something the network sitcom hasn't managed in years: It offers a comic equation for almost every audience segment, while never blanding out the characters for mass consumption. Read full review

Slant Magazine

Peter Swanson

Season 1 Review: Most of the episodes so far have ended with a simulacrum of a group hug, an acknowledgement that, even though they don't always get along, this family loves one another. So far, these moments have worked on the show, but the formula could get tired. Read full review

Boston Globe

Matthew Gilbert

Season 1 Review: It's not too early, however, to heap praise onto this astute, well-written show and its many specific wonders. Read full review

Glenn Garvin

Season 1 Review: For the first time since Married...With Children stood the genre on its head two decades ago, somebody has come up with a new take on the family sitcom, and the results are riotously funny. Read full review

Season 1 Review: With its deft writing and sharp performances, the show is a telling snapshot of how families live now. Read full review

This is one of my favourite shows with the best writing on television. There are no corny laugh tracks that tell the audience when there was a "joke". This is a quality show with great performances that is steadily funny every episode. there are a few dud episodes, but majority are good fun.

my all time favourite show to watch, if i just want to relax. every character is unique and funny in their own way. i'm so glad this show doesn't have those annoying laugh tracks.

funny, easy to watch, many different characters with balanced flaws and strengths. Immersion is good, because while many things are of course over the top, it still is believable for the world/character and entertaining. A nice feelgood show. 10 out of 10 watched many times again :)

there is one thing this show screams: people sheltered from reality and coddled living in their bubbles of alternative realities.
