Anyone else watching this show? If you need some entertainment for the commute to work, you could do worse. I've seen this show compared to Curb, AD, and others. Here's a blurb from TV guide:
| Quote: |
Remember Arrested Development? The Fox sitcom threw all previous sitcom conventions out the window with quick-cut camera angles, unlikable characters headed by Jason Bateman�s Michael Bluth, and mockumentary-style filming.
Smart and super-funny, it was cancelled too soon.
Here�s hoping the same fate doesn�t befall Modern Family, the best new sitcom of the TV season.
Shot like a mockumentary and sharing Development�s writing and acting style, ABC�s sitcom is about three very different, but related, families.
Ed O�Neill (Married... With Children) plays Jay, an older man who marries a much younger Colombian woman named Gloria (Sofia Vergara, The Knights of Prosperity), whose 11-year-old son, Manny (Rico Rodriguez), is a little too sensitive for Jay�s manly taste.
Then there�s Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson, The Class) and his partner, Cameron (Eric Stonestreet, CSI), a gay couple who have just adopted a baby girl from Vietnam. And finally, there�s Claire (Julie Bowen, Boston Legal) and her husband, Phil (Ty Burrell, Back to You), who have three chaos-causing kids.
The cast is simply fantastic, especially Burrell as the clueless, wannabe hip dad, and Ferguson and Stonestreet as the gay couple. |

| The show is about as funny as a non cable tv sitcom can get. |

| This show has potential to be the next Arrested Development. Not saying that it's anywhere near as amazing as AD, but it's good. Really good. |

| I just watched 15 minutes of the first episode. I wouldn't watch this show ever again. I had one moment of funny, the part about mall walkers. |

| Sitcoms don't usually hit their stride in the first episode. |
