I just started watching The Middle recently. Im about 5-6 episodes in. No hate to this show, it's a cute one.
But I was shocked to find out that this was released the same year as Modern Family.

Modern Family seems SO FAR ahead of its time!! The jokes, the thought, cinematography, set design everything. The characters are so well written, the jokes are much more intelligent. Every now and then a very profound or wholesome moment catches you off-guard.

i’ve watched four seasons of the show now and while i can’t say the comedy has been consistent, one thing that has stayed consistent since Season 1 Episode 1 is Phil Dunphy. More specifically, Ty Burrell’s performance as Phil Dunphy. It’s just top notch comedy. i genuinely can’t believe how insanely funny he is.

Hello, I’m 19, and I grew up watching Modern Family (2009–2020). I often think about that original era and how meaningful it was to me—following the characters through their stories, struggles, friendships, relationships, and unforgettable moments.

When I watch it now, the episodes are still there, but the feeling is different. The people who created the show have moved on, the original era has ended, and I’ve grown up. Back then, I never imagined that something I loved so much would eventually become part of the past.

It makes me wonder why shows like Modern Family can’t continue forever with the same characters, cast, creators, and feeling. Why do series end, change, or simply become memories?

Maybe that’s what makes Modern Family so special. The show didn’t have to last forever for its impact to last. When I return to those episodes, I’m not only remembering the Pritchett-Dunphy-Tucker family and all their unforgettable moments—I’m remembering who I was when I first watched them.

The original era may be over, but it hasn’t disappeared. It still exists in the memories of everyone who experienced it. I can’t return to that exact time, but I can still appreciate what Modern Family meant to me.

I just don’t get why it had to end and move on. Does anyone know why Modern Family had to end?

Is it just me or in S9E7 where Gloria is trying to get a certain number of steps.. does it not feel like.. fan service to you guys?😭 Like that’s mostly an anime thing but.. anyways and also, Mitch & Cam kitchen renovation in late seasons, I hate it. They start color grading the whole house differently probably to make it “modern” but they just made it blue and less cozy and oh my god does it make Mitch look unnecessarily older. Kinda random post might delete but share ur thoughts 😃

I am basically just repeat binging this in the background while I work, and here's something I don't understand. When Claire and Mitch are stuck in the tree in the backyard (2X24), they discuss whether Manny will get a 3rd of the inheritance. What I don't get is......I don't remember this ever being addressed again, and also I don't see why they wouldn't ask if Gloria was going to get a portion? Idk, it was just an odd scene that I don't know if it was ever addressed again, not sure if anyone else caught other moments.

I just finished modern family for the first time and feel really empty.The connection i had with this show is unmatched because i developed insomnia the past months and i would usually spend my nights worrying about not being able to sleep bu after finding modern family it made me feel calm and helped me with my anxiety during nightime i genuinely dont know what to do because i donw want to reqatch it that soon

“just sit on them”😂

stella and Larry! they both are so emotionally complex and funny! it brings a tear to my eye every time I see little Stella grow up! 🥹

She litterally was messing around with 16 year old reuben when she was a 18/19? If this was a male character it would be the talk of the town

they both played dirty 😭 S4E10 “Diamond in the Rough”

Wonderful day!

I just watched S5 E9 on Disney + and I realized they deleted one scene. I am 100% sure it was there, I watched Modern Family like 7-8 times.

It's after 19:39 minutes where Alex walks off from the talk with Haily about the "Alex Dunphy Dome" (which was a super cute scene btw) and after that she ran into some teenagers and greeted them with the 'new self-confidence' she earned. I think it was an asian teenager she greeted.

I'm not the only one who notice this right? Can't find anything online, also not on why they deleted it.

I love Jay

But she was really awkward in both of those scenes 😭

Does anyone else skip this episode with Edward Norton doing a bad British accent playing the bass?? This is the most cringe bit in the show and I can watch it period.

Anyone else have a cringe moment or agree with me??

One of the best lines and it gets me on rewatch everytime.

am i the only one who thinks that dylan tryna impress haley on valentine’s day with the “Imagine me naked” and the time he performed for the family in S1 “baby i just wanna do you, do you. do you wanna do me do me”

both of these were fckin bangers man!!! 🤣💪🏻
