Is anyone else obsessed with modern family? It's my easy watching show, along with friends. I start from the beginning, and then when it's finished start all over again! I adore it.
What's your favourite episode/moment and who's your fave character?
I love them all, but Gloria is my favourite.
My best moments are Jay slapping the chicken, and cam screaming for stella in the street.
Best episode is cam and mitch's wedding!

Cam and Gloria are my favourites then Phil.
I love the relationship that Cam and Lily obviously have, probably because he always carried her everywhere.
Manny is a bit too girl mad for my liking, he's too young.

I watch Modern Family, the US Office and Parks & Rec on rotation when I need cheering up :)

Same. Can I also suggest adding superstore to your repertoire.
SinkGirl · 31/05/2021 15:58

I have started it!

I also love 30 Rock, arrested development, Silicon Valley and Party Down but they’re not quite as wholesome 😬

bonfireheart · 31/05/2021 18:23

I really wanted them to break the stereotype with Hayley and pretty girls, for her to be strong and independent and at least happily single...don't know why they were so keen on shoehorning Dylan into storyline.

@mum2jakie

The episode where Phil's lifetime supply of razors runs out. Also the one where he brings a random bloke home from the gym! Was it Matthew Broderick?
Yes!!! And had no idea he is on a date 😂😂

Love Modern Family, can never fully commit to a favourite, probably Phil or Clare though.

One of my top scenes is Mitch and Cam at the airport after taking sleeping pills. Hillarious!

eatsleepread · 31/05/2021 23:01

I love love LOVE Modern Family. Gloria is one of my favourites, but I wish she had a job and wasn't just a 'kept woman'.
Ditto with Claire, I suppose.

What I love about the show is that all the characters are strong. There isn't a weak link who has to be carried by the others. Lily is a bit whiny and annoying, but compared to British child actors, still pretty good!
The humour is just impeccable, and the characters so likeable. Love it.

bonfireheart · 31/05/2021 23:07

It is also so lovely to see the younger characters grow up throughout the seasons. I haven't seen the last couple of seasons yet but it's up there as one of my fave shows ever.

wildeverose · 01/06/2021 00:47

Agree I love watching them grow up, it makes me so emotional!

OMG, we just adore modern family in this house. Finally watched the end of series 11 yesterday and I cried so much 😭 we watch it all the time. My kids love it. I genuinely don’t think I have a favourite (although Claire’s hair in the Paris episode is just stunning). Two of my favourite quotes are Mitch
“Shame” (with pointed finger)
And
SNORKLES

You've just inspired me to find it on demand and start from the beginning again!!

My favourite episode was one in Vegas (?) for Gloria or Jays birthday and there's this incredibly choreographed situation with the wrong hotel rooms and a huge misunderstanding- can't remember the details now but do remember being blown away by the complexity of it when I first watched it. It's like 3 or 4 different scripts overlapping and yet still making sense like that quiz where you give the answer to the previous question!

AnnieJ1985 · 01/06/2021 08:01

I am watching it again on Disney+

There are a few I haven't seen, which are a treat when I realise I don't know the story.

I love them, it is so well written and proper LOL funny.

One of my favourites is when they can't get into the restaurant so end up eating from the Burrito van. Claire and Mitch are wearing matching outfits and Phil's suit splits

StrictlyAFemaleFemale · 01/06/2021 15:36

LOVE the Vegas episode.

And yes the streetcar named desire references are fabulous.

mayaknew · 01/06/2021 16:01

Me!!!

I've seen them all 200 times apart from the last episode. Cant bring myself to watch it.

Especially as Haley didn't end up with Andy 😭😭😭😭

I change my mind between Cam and Phil being my faves.

Thegreymethod · 02/06/2021 00:08

Love it! I do the same and watch it on a loop even managed to get my children into it too! Phil and Cam are my favourites...... love the one where Cam locks lily in the car and he's screaming LILY and the operator says please tell your wife to relax.
I laugh out loud when lily has started her periods and everyone comes round to talk to her and Alex starts and lily shouts "go home nerd" and when Manny starts she shouts "get the f**k outta here Manny" I actually love older Lily.

I’m watching on Netflix for the first time, ut the last few series aren’t there. Are they on any of the other streaming services?

They are on Disney +, in the "Star" section
MamaEs · 02/06/2021 07:10

They are on sky too

I LOVE Modern Family. Cam is by far my favorite. I love any scene with him in it! Love Mitch, the dad and Clare too. I find Manny and Luke annoying, and wouldn't miss them from it.

My favorite episode is when Mitch has a job interview - he goes to the guy's beach house for them to get to know each other. Cam doesn't want him to get the job, so is being noisy and hanging around when Mitch is asking job related questions. Cam slurps up his drink noisily through a straw, and Mitch says "I think you got it, Cam!!". So funny to watch!

Abigailandthefoxes · 20/06/2021 15:02

Modern family is one of my comfort shows.

Cam and Mitch’s wedding makes me cry every time.

Annamariefl · 20/06/2021 20:01

Watched it for years as comedy Friday with The Middle on Sky.
Luke, how would you like a part in Cameron Tucker’s Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera?
Also love the Matt Dillon episode “I’ve got my abs, I’ve got my hair”
Still watch regularly on Alexa when cooking, never tire of it. Visited the Dunphy house on holiday - lots of private property signs so got the kids to jump out for a couple of very quick photos.

MadisonAvenue · 20/06/2021 21:03

I used to watch it avidly up until the sixth season, then decided a couple of weeks ago that I’d watch the seasons I’d missed.

My God, I sobbed at the final episode.

imaginethemdragons · 20/06/2021 21:10

Flash mob…utterly fantastic!
