Based on the previews alone, I knew I would be watching at least the Pilot episode of "Modern Family". I am a big fan of the "Office" (especially earlier episodes) and love the format, so I had high hopes for "Modern Family". I am happy to report that my hopes were not let down for this show. In my opinion, this is the greatest 1st season comedy since "the office". I've been reading numerous articles about the show and it seems like Ty Burrell, who plays Phil, is the break out star. I hate to say this, but I think Phil is probably one of the dumbest parts of the show. His character is basically a Michael Scott rip-off and the actor seems like he is trying too hard. I basically want to say to the producers of the show: You have a really witty show with some great writing, PLEASE don't resort every week for predictable, LAME slapstick plot lines. You guys are better than that. I give them major credit though, because this show has TONS of potential. First Season review: B+
