For a long time before I decided to start watching 'Modern Family' I've been having doubts about quality and originality of the show. Now I'm in season 7 and I can not get enough of it. The story is easy to follow so you can just sit back and enjoy. When I'm having a break doing work I just put on an episode and it takes my mind off.

The thing I was most surprised about after seeing it was the variety of characters. There's a conventional family with three kids. The wife Claire Dunphy is a control and organization freak but she has hers funny outbursts. Husband Phil comes off a bit childlike, always trying to be 'the cool dad', but he also brings the family together and shares valuable life lessons. The oldest daughter Haley is a popular, party girl and her younger sister Alex is very competitive, nerdy girl. Their youngest child Luke is a lot like his dad and they always do funny, odd stuff together.

Claire's father Jay Pritchett makes another family in the show. He remarried a Colombian wife Gloria and took her and her son Manny in. She is very beautiful and also younger than his daughter so people always assume she married him out of interest, but we are soon proved wrong.

Jay's second child, Claire's brother Mitchell, is gay and in a long relationship with his partner Cameron with whom he adopted a Vietnamese baby girl Lily.

When the whole family gets together, there's no way escaping drama and that's the case in almost every episode. It's a great comedy source but it can get a little too familiar from time to time, so that's why I rated it 8 out of 10.

With everything in count, it's still one of the best shows in its genre and I would definitely recommend it.
