modern family

ABC's Modern Family countdown continues and the heartbreak we've been feeling is imminent, and this episode was a good segue to start leading into what will be a final double feature next week to go out with a bang. It starts giving us a look into what the future holds in store without having to […]

It wasn't like ABC snuck up on us with the news that Modern Family would be ending its run after 11 seasons – we had time to prepare. And in concept, we were okay with the idea – at least until the season started. Over the course of 15 episodes, the writers have been doing […]

I was bracing for an emotionally tough episode of ABC's Modern Family this week… you know, with only three more episodes to go I can only assume each episode will feel like a "goodbye" of some sort. However, I was suprised that it was actually fun and got – dare, I say – quite a […]

ABC's long-running hit comedy series Modern Family has been doing its part during its final season to "clean up" some loose storyline threads from the series' 11-season run – and this week's episode finally addresses one of the show's longest-running conflicts. No, not Phil (Ty Burrell) vs. Jay (Ed O'Neill) – though it looks like that […]

One of my favorite aspects of ABC's Modern Family is its "extended family" – so it is with a heavy heart that we report that Beatrice – the French Bulldog who played Jay Pritchett's (Ed O'Neil) furry sidekick Stella. Pop culture and entertainment website The Blast reports that the adorable canine passed away a week ago […]

I don't know about you, but with the finale of ABC's Modern Family creeping up on us faster than we expected, I am feeling a bit nostalgic – especially when there's no new episode to watch. Turns out, the cast has officially wrapped filming after 11 seasons – with the cast taking to social media […]

This week's episode of ABC's Modern Family brought me back to what I love about the series – only to have the emotional impact undercut by awkward, oddly-placed "clip show" flashbacks. Those moments aside, it was enjoyable ride that took some turns I wasn't expecting. From the emotional "feels" standpoint, this episode hit pretty hard […]

ABC's long-running hit comedy series Modern Family has reached its own version of "The Final Four" – and we have a prediction about the finale. While we don't pretend to have the show expertise that our own Alejandra Bodden's been demonstrating this season with her episode-per-episode reviews (check out her thoughts on "Paris" here), we […]

I was surprised how much fun this week's episode of ABC's Modern Family turned out to be. It also hit on some feels a bit—but for the most part, it was just an enjoyable ride that hit some familar notes in new ways. I have to say though, I have a pretty soft spot for […]

Over the course of 11 seasons, ABC's long-running hit comedy series Modern Family has taken the Pritchetts, Dunphys, and Tuckers across the country and around the world. From Hawaii to Australia… Wyoming to Disneyland… Las Vegas to Lake Tahoe to New York… it's safe to say our on-screen family has definitely left its marks on […]

This week's episode of ABC's Modern Family was much more light-hearted, perfect to follow the one from last week. It truly got a few laughs off of me and I enjoyed all storylines. They seriously keep tugging at my heart-strings and seemingly setting more groundwork for what is to come to finalize the show. It […]

This week's episode of ABC's Modern Family was unexpected and simply fantastic. It really took me by surprise in many ways—especially with how more toned down, beautiful, and heartbreaking it was – all at once. It has been incredibly hard for me to write about this episode, to be honest. I kept staring at my […]

This week brought with it the second-half of the final season of ABC's Modern Family. It was a very fun episode to start the year with – silly without diving into slapsticky. With the season being very uneven so far, this outing was definitely one in the plus column. It seems they are setting up […]

A new year means new episodes of ABC's Modern Family – except in this case, it's the series' final episodes. Up to this point, the season has definitely run hot and cold – not sure how I will be feeling by the time it reaches its end. I am looking for more of these moments […]

With the holidays around the corner, I will try to keep my thoughts on Modern Family short-n-sweet… more like venomously sweet, like this week's episode made me feel. The episode danced right on the edge of my very last nerve, to be honest. It was full of poison that I was almost willing to let […]

This week's episode of ABC's Modern Family was a bit weak. It was a bit of a filler just to get us to the holidays. It had a couple of good moments here and there, but not too much that really stood out even as I am thinking about it now. This season of Modern […]
