About
As of 2026, it's 17 years old.
Modern Family updated the family sitcom for the 21st century, using the mockumentary format to follow one big, blended, gloriously bickering extended clan. It made the talking-head confessional a comedy staple and racked up Emmys by the armful for its warm, well-oiled ensemble.
Each branch of the family had its own flavor of chaos, and the show found reliable laughs and genuine heart in the simple comedy of relatives loving and exasperating each other.
Warm, polished, and broadly beloved, Modern Family is the comedy that proved the family sitcom still had plenty of life with a camera crew and a confessional couch.
