Modern Family TV Show is a satirical look at three different families and the trials they face in each of their own uniquely comedic ways. The characters don’t acknowledge the camera, but they do recognize it is there which is very similar to The Office. Modern Family is a bit of a mix between The Office and Arrested Development. It has the humor and content and the show finds opportunities to sneak in some good old family morals such as togetherness and acceptance, but the TV show always end in a laugh.
USA Today Modern Family, created by Steven Levitan and Christopher Lloyd, smartly updates ABC’s Home Improvement & Roseanne tradition for a new TV generation. Its bighearted embrace of its characters, harks back to ABC and Disney at their comedy peak. Robert Bianco

Pop Matters How do you say anything new about the state of the American family? Modern Family does it by following a diverse extended family. Its mockumentary format has interviewers asking direct questions about the members� lives and getting funny and self-incriminating answers. Leigh H. Edwards
Los Angeles Times Modern Family is sharp, timely and fresh, complicated enough to be interesting but with a soft, sweet center because, and I’m speaking loudly so even cable channels can hear, there is nothing wrong with that. Mary McNamara
