As I was sitting down to watch ABC’s Modern Family, my mind drifted back to the families of TV’s past, like Married with Children, Full House, and Family Ties. I was wondering if this new Modern Family was going to provide me with the same life lessons. Modern Family delivered exactly what its title suggests - the modern family. The show includes the traditional family, the gay couple who adopted a child from overseas, and the older man who married a much younger Hispanic woman with a pre-teen son. Each family provides an array of comedy - they go for the obvious jokes, but they also go right up to that line and dance around it. As far as that life lesson? This comedy may not be the most politically correct show on television, but it is reality. In the current economic conditions, we need to laugh and Modern Family delivers.  Review by Amanda Peterson.
