Modern Family, Season 1

Today's Modern Family comes in all shapes and sizes. Just ask these three families. Jay recently married Gloria. Now Jay is trying hard to keep up with his much younger and hotter Colombian wife, along with her passionate pre-teen son, Manny. Claire is having a hard time raising her own family. Her husband Phil is great, except that he thinks he's "down" with their three kids, much to all their embarrassment. And, Mitchell and his enthusiastic partner Cameron have just made a major life change by adopting a Vietnamese baby named Lily. Who doesn't think their family is the strangest one out there? So, when we heard executive producers Steve Levitan (Just Shoot Me) and Christopher Lloyd (Frasier) were taking on what it means to grow up or be a parent in this day and age, we knew we found a modern comedy we could relate to.
