This series has been the highest-rated scripted series on ABC for some time. How long will that run continue? It’s hard to imagine that Modern Family will be cancelled any time soon but could season eight or season nine be the end? Stay tuned.
An ensemble comedy, Modern Family revolves around three Los Angeles families who are interrelated through Jay Pritchett (Ed O’Neill) and his two adult children (Julie Bowen and Jesse Tyler Ferguson). The rest of the family members are played by Sofía Vergara, Ty Burrell, Eric Stonestreet, Sarah Hyland, Ariel Winter, Nolan Gould, Rico Rodriguez, Aubrey Anderson-Emmons, Jeremy Maguire, and Brigitte the French bulldog.

5/10 update: ABC has renewed Modern Family for two more years — seasons nine and 10. Details here.
This show has stoppted being funny for a few season’s now.
I agree with you 100%. It needs to end.
I used to love this show. I could watch it constantly in reruns and whatnot. I thought it was hilarious. But then last season they made fun of Christians. I wanted to give the show another chance because I enjoyed it so much before. I did. I continued out the season and I loved it. I still watched reruns on USA and local channels. But, then this season started and I just had a bad feeling about the show and the characters. Mitch went to visit Cam’s family. They started singing Onward Christian Soldier.

Probably the wittiest written lines and best comedic cast on TV today. Very clever and delivered brilliantly by the cast. Although I might have chosen a different child to play the little boy Joe. And I’d like to see Nathan Lane on the show again….he is a real scene stealer!
Modern Family is an EXCELLENT parody of real life. It needs to continue for many more years!
I feel that Modern Family has been, and still is, a well-written, well-directed, well-acted show. Maybe a ninth, and final, season will be in order.
Unfortunately got renewed also for a 10th season really funny not think people they criticize the about Christian make fun of them comedy suppose to laugh it good don’t write anything don’t want to say on here. So let go enjoy the show if not stop watching it that simple.
Modern Family is definitely another winner!!!! I look forward to the new episodes and still love the reruns!!!!!
Modern Family is my favorite show on TV I pretty much pay $200 on cable to see two shows Modern Family in general hospital so if it’s worth $50 to see that one show well 25 each that means it is one fantastic show we need to laugh and that show makes me laugh 30 minutes laughter keeps me going through all the tough times in this world actors are excellent the subject matter is so close to home and there’s a lesson every show I watch do not cancel that show please please please
U could just watch whatever show u want for free on putlocker.today
I don’t think Modern Family is funny anymore; I think it ran its course.
I agree, to an extent I think it ran it’s course two seasons ago. I’ve found some of the actors / actresses overact.
Can’t imagine not having this show around hope it does good this season
