Modern Family

Modern Family

Modern Family is an American television mockumentary family sitcom that premiered on ABC on September 23, 2009, which follows the lives of Jay Pritchett and his family, all of whom live in suburban Los Angeles. Pritchett's family includes his second wife, their son and his stepson, as well as his two adult children and their spouses and children. Christopher Lloyd and Steven Levitan conceived the series while sharing stories of their own "modern families". Modern Family employs an ensemble cast. The series is presented in mockumentary style, with the characters frequently talking directly into the camera. The series was renewed for a tenth season on May 10, 2017, which premiered on September 26, 2018. Co-creators Levitan and Lloyd have stated that the tenth season is planned to be the series' final, with talks of a spin-off. Modern Family was acclaimed by critics throughout its first few seasons, although reception has become more mixed as the series has progressed. The show won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series in each of its first five years and the Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series four times, twice each for Eric Stonestreet and Ty Burrell, as well as the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series twice for Julie Bowen. It has so far won a total of 22 Emmy awards from 75 nominations. It also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy in 2011. Being on air for 10 years, it is currently ABC's longest-running comedy series. The broadcast syndication rights to the series were sold to USA Network, the stations of Fox Television Stations, and various other local stations in other markets for a fall 2013 premiere. The success of the series led to it being the tenth-highest revenue-generating show for 2012, earning $2. 13 million an episode.

Mitchell Pritchett:
We took Lily on her first train ride. Just a quick trip to Chinatown.

Cameron Tucker:
I was worried she would think we were taking her back to Vietnam, but she seemed okay.

Mitchell Pritchett:
Yeah, yeah. Possibly because she was an infant when she left Vietnam. Also, Vietnam's not China.

Cameron Tucker:
Well, I had a lollipop with me, just in case.

Cameron Tucker:
I love that we're doing this. It's important for her to explore the city she lives in.
