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. Read full review

Ginia Bellafante

Tthe best new half-hour of funny television in a season rife with half-hours of funny television. Read full review

Peter Swanson

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

Matthew Gilbert

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

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

Leigh H. Edwards

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

A breath of fresh air in the comedy genre. The whole cast is likeable and the writing is superb. The best comedy on TV right now. If you haven't watched this yet then you are missing half your life, and I mean it.

This is the only recent (as in the last twenty years) sitcom I like. No stupid, insulting one-liners or irritating innuendo.

Makes me laugh every week. Reminds me of The Office and Arrested Development. My one gripe is that the mockumentary style has been used too much lately.

This show is hilarious with a great ensemble to boot. Ed O' Neill and Julie Bowen are stellar in their roles. What's also great is that this show is very modern indeed, showcasing a family sitcom in a new light. Truly something to watch this season
