I hope this is allowed

Im a huge fan of modern family. I remember it being advertised on TV before ever airing on Sky TV (uk) and thinking that looks fun! I watched it from day 1, bought the dvds, and as it moved to streaming I waited to watch every episode towards the finale

I seriously loved every character, cos of how different they all are. And I joined this sub for positive reasons, to hear others opinions and what they love about the show, spot easter eggs i never noticed etc.

But I cant lie, I understand people's opinions, but ive found this sub to be the most toxic and critical place of this extraordinary TV show. Particularly to 'Cam' and 'Manny'. It almost seems personal against the actors and not the characters. And to reiterate, the characters are sitcom characters. Their personalities are purposefully characaturised

Like I understand maybe some people dont love or appreciate the 'lack' of character development. But also just wtf? If they make you as mad as some people behave, clearly theyre good actors?

But despite that, I really enjoyed those characters and respected the way they were brought up vs how they were raised and how its shown.

I have only 1 disappointment from the show and its Haley's ending. She should have ended up with Andy or someone who isn't Dylan. But I also see why it happened and why its cute. And thats not a character or acting issue. Its just an actor clash is from what I heard he had other acting commitments.

This TV show is fun in every episode, its a sitcom, its not meant to be realistic like a drama. And the way people talk im this sub is as if they dont enjoy the show?? No one is making you watch it.

I know you will say if I dont like it then leave the sub. And I plan to. Ive never seen so many people be negative to this show. This should be a place of support. But like I said I understand disliking a character, but it doesnt mean diss the actor or the writers arc for them.

I think what im tryna say is that a good chunk of things the 'fans' complaim about, are the things that make the show funny. You all treat them like real people. Its meant to be relatable, yeh, but as I said, their characters arent real. They're characatures.

Sorry i had to vent. Does anyone agree with me? Does anyone else actually enjoy all the characters regardless? I love Cam's flamboyance. I love Manny's melodramatic-ness. They're both good for TV and it works and is funny. Idk. I just wonder if anyone actually enjoys them as it seems theres only hate.

Luke calling Haley kitten and calling his dad handsome is so cringe!!!

I know Alex took off a semester in season 8 because of mono, but why wasn't she back in school in the spring? She was at home on Valentine's Day, and that was a Tuesday that year. Shouldn't she have been in class?

Season3, Episode 5
In this episode Mitchell, Cam, Jay and Phil goes to get Hailey’s money back. Mitchell’s says:

“I’ll see you in jail. It’s gonna be a big adjustment for two of you”

Every time I see it I always wondered which two he meant…why, and who would not need to adjust to jail…anyone has any thoughts?

I’m watching through for the first time and I noticed that during either season 6 or 7 they stopped doing the voiceovers at the end of the episodes. This was one of my favorite parts as it provided a very nice way of wrapping up the episode and making things feel kind of homey. Anyone no why they stopped doing these?

I am currently on a rewatching spree so i will add as i go through

Has anyone ever read this? I just started reading it because I love the show, and as a fan of oral histories, I had to buy it.

That’s no luck ‘hombre’🤣

never noticed how subtly they introduced longines! season 2 ep 10 when he suggested perfume for men for phil

I'm now on S07E01 and the ending of S06E20 tugged at my heart. I really wish Andy and Hailey could have been endgame without the cheating.

I'm on my 4th rewatch of the series and I have something to say, in appreciation of this amazing sitcom and the humor in it.

I was just watching the eclipse episode and I literally LOLed when Jay screeched 'No!' as Gloria was asking if he was bothered by all of that stuff with the closet guy dying. Such an amusing moment, with Jay answering so fast, and the spond I've never heard coming from him before - just good acting skills and perfect comedic timing, so well written!

The next episode, with Luke and Haley working at the golf club, and the scene with Luke and Rhonda (this gold digger lady) as Haley's angel and devil - that whole scene was so we'll executedl!!! And when Luke says that line of something goes in her ear one way and leaves the other!

Maybe I'm higher than trees go, but it is just so fun to watch, especially with the great actors that have such chemistry, skills and their own comedy execution... Perfecto. Standing ovation.

I do admit that there's nothing more to notice on the next rewatches (I have also rewatched The Office like 13 times), but I find myself laughing at stuff I've already seen, which means it's still on the top. The show is not perfect, but it redeems itself often!

In about 4 years, Sarah Hyland will be the same age as Julie was at the start. And Ty will be just about Jay’s age!!

My 14yo and I watch an episode every night. We’re almost all the way through our second watch and it’s hard to remember that they’re all so much older now. Forever young in our house!!

For those aviators in this subreddit, I found this fix funny.
