Modern Family is an another offspring of the colossus of political correctness in American sitcoms. We have tree families who are prosperous, predominantnly white people from dreamland suburbia where the "others" are treated as accessories: Sofia Vergara is an over-the-top emotional trophy wife, the gay couple is conceived as representing the whole range of looks from chubby and feminine to masculine and rational. On top of it we have their adopted daughter who happens to be Vietnamese and the nerd sister. However, the most annoying of all characters by far is Phil Dumphy who is desperatelly hanging on to his Stepford Dad thing and overdoing it so many times that he more often than not turns this borderline entertaining show into a creepy family cult full of paranoid pefectionism and shameless stereotypes. All in all, this is a show that's exactly good enough to make you not switch the channel, but bad enough to regret spending time on it.
