MODERN FAMILY “Pilot” Season Premiere + Review

I had a chance to watch an advance copy of the new ABC family Modern Family and I wanted to share a quick review on the show.

Modern Family is a very funny show with a decent cast and great dialogue. I guess my only complaint with the show is that it feels a little uneven in the sense that not every character is funny in the same way and that there are some predictable jokes.

However I can give them credit for keeping my attention since I didn’t find myself looking at my iPhone or thinking of something else throughout the episode. Is it funny enough to survive the Fall cancellation onslaught? Maybe, especially if it finds its audience. Personally, I will give it a few more episodes before I decide whether to give it a season pass. Hope you like it!

In the meantime, watch out a sneak peek of MODERN FAMILY, which premieres on Wednesday, September 23 at 9:00 p.m.

Episode Synopsis: MODERN FAMILY “Pilot” Season Premiere – Today’s families come in all shapes and sizes, and that is very evident in Jay Pritchett’s very full and very blended family. Jay and his new gorgeous and much younger wife, Gloria, are happily married and getting accustomed to their new life together. But when her pre-teen son develops a crush on a 16-year-old girl, it becomes apparent that Jay and Gloria may have some generational and cultural gaps to bridge. Jay’s grown daughter, Claire, has a family of her own — three kids and a husband, Phil, who is practically a giant kid himself. Things get a little tense when their teenage daughter, Haley, brings a boy home and Phil tries to adopt the cool, hip dad approach. Then son Luke misuses of his BB gun, which results in Phil and Claire turning it right back on to him. Jay’s other grown son, Mitchell, is in a committed relationship and has just adopted a baby girl from Vietnam with his life partner, Cameron. They’re going through the joys and anxieties of bringing a baby home for the first time, but Mitchell still has the daunting task of introducing their new addition to the whole family.

“Modern Family” stars Ed O’Neill as Jay Pritchett, Julie Bowen as Claire Dunphy, Ty Burrell as Phil Dunphy, Sof’a Vergara as Gloria Delgado-Pritchett, Jesse Tyler Ferguson as Mitchell Pritchett, Eric Stonestreet as Cameron, Sarah Hyland as Haley Dunphy, Nolan Gould as Luke Dunphy, Ariel Winter as Alex Dunphy and Rico Rodriguez as Manny Delgado.
