Modern Family cracks me up every time. Each character feels so real and you really get to know them more and more each episode. The credibility of the characters lies mostly in their complexity as you get to watch them constantly contradicting themselves. It is definitely a feel-good TV show, as loving and caring families are shown in each episode. Personally, I find most of the puns and jokes hilarious- but I understand that is completely subjective. Every scene with Sofia Vergara is absolutely hilarious.

One of the things that I completely hated about this show were how a supposedly "politically correct" TV series is so reluctant to including so many sexist jokes. I did not expect this from this show, where the characters are supposedly supportive and open-minded. In several instances throughout the show, the word "woman" or "girl" is strongly associated with inferiority. Cam is offended by being considered the mother of the family. Basically if someone wants to offend someone, they just call them a "lady". It crosses the line so far that at one point of the show, Claire uses the word "girl" to insult Gloria, another female character in the show. However, the female characters are portrayed as strong and independent, which makes it completely illogical to include sexist jokes.

Another downside to this show is Cam. I utterly hate his hyperbolic personality, which adds to the melodrama of the show. He could have had the exact same personality except for being overly sensitive and nagging throughout the whole show. You start disliking him so much that you actually want something bad to happen to him.

I continue watching this show as the sexist jokes are tolerable and luckily, Cam is not really the main character. Nobody really is, but it seems like there is relatively low focus on him as compared to the other characters. I recommend this show to anyone who feels like having a good laugh without becoming completely addicted to the series.
