Modern Family — Page 3

"This is the funny thing about growing up.
For years and years, everybody's desperately afraid
to be different in any way.
And then, suddenly, almost over night,
everybody wants to be different.
And that's where we win."

--Mitchell, Modern Family

I loved the Mexican Restaurant where the water approaches Mitchell in English, then switches to Spanish for Gloria- and when Mitchell orders the waiter corrects him "No, you want Chicken Enchiladas."

I think the thing is - which Reg and Namo and PJ and other have noted - is that everyone is in on the joke, and that even when laughs are had at a character's expense, it's not coming from a place of meanspiritedness. Yes, sometimes Cam becomes a screaming queen, but you know what, that rings really true to me. Mitchell and Cameron are probably the most real gay couple I've ever seen on tv; certainly they are the TV gays I'd most like as my real life friends.

There's so much warmth and heart to the show and I think that the entire cast is top notch. I've been recording each episode to dvd as they air so I can watch them at my disposal, but I intend to get the season 1 dvd when it comes out as well.

And the kid who plays Manny deserves an Emmy nomination.

Sofia Vergara is on Ellen right now.

That IS her accent! She talks just like she does on the show.

I think I love her.

I saw her on Ellen today too, Diva. And she was on Chelsea a while back. You can tell they really tailored that role to her. She is hilarious.

Sofia Vergara is gorgeous! I'd switch teams for her.
