What ‘Modern Family’ Says About Modern Families April 27th 2015


Modern Family, which aired in 2009, has been a hit sitcom for years now. It depicts the lives of three families, who are all related. Jay and his second wife Gloria, and her son Manny, Jay's grown daughter Claire, her husband Phil, and their three children, and Jay's grown son Mitchell, his partner Cam, and their adopted daughter. The writers wanted to depict what they believed to be today's "modern family". A second marriage, a gay couple, and lots of different quirks. Much of the controversy surrounding Modern Family has to do with Cam and Mitchell. They had been shown in bed together, among other things. And for a while, they had never been shown kissing. The writers of Modern Family seemed to go back and forth when determining how to portray the modern family. I think that this show doesn't really depict the modern families today.
