OMG This show IS EFFING PRICELESS. Caught an episode of it on 2ndavenue (a cable channel) at 1am, and it has left me in stitches! The writing is excellent and the characters are unforgettable. Every minute is worth watching. I cannot believe I haven't joined the bandwagon earlier because it's just sooo good! I love Sofia Vergara, the gay couple, the 'typical suburban family'. I WILL WATCH MORE MODERN FAMILY, I SWEAR!
