This remains far and away the best prime-time sitcom: crisp and farcical, but very kind. [25 Oct 2010, p.37]
-
In a fall season surprisingly flush with good sitcoms, the best new comedy by far--and it's not that close of a race - is Modern Family on ABC.
-
Tthe best new half-hour of funny television in a season rife with half-hours of funny television.
-
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.
-
It's not too early, however, to heap praise onto this astute, well-written show and its many specific wonders.
-
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.
-
With its deft writing and sharp performances, the show is a telling snapshot of how families live now.
