Overview
Modern Family is an American television sitcom created by Christopher Lloyd and Steven Levitan for ABC. The series follows the lives of three diverse but interrelated family set-ups living in suburban Los Angeles. The Pritchett-Dunphy-Tucker clan is a large and blended family. Across eleven seasons, the show aired from September 23, 2009, to April 8, 2020. The program features actors including Ed O'Neill, Sofía Vergara, Julie Bowen, and Ty Burrell. These three different but related families face various trials and tribulations in their own uniquely comedic ways. The series provides an honest and often hilarious look into the sometimes warm and sometimes twisted embrace of the modern family. The term modern refers to the present or recent times, describing things designed using recent ideas or methods. The show explores these dynamics through the experiences of the clan as they navigate the complexities of contemporary life. The series was conceived by Lloyd and Levitan to depict the realities of families in the present day.
