DVD Description
Modern Family - Season 1
Today’s American families come in all shapes and sizes. The cookie cutter mold of man and wife and 2.5 kids is a thing of the past, as becomes quickly apparent in the bird’s eye view of the hit comedy, Modern Family, which takes an honest and often hilarious look at the composition and complexity of family life in 2009.
Modern Family stars Ed O’Neill as Jay, Julie Bowen as Claire, Ty Burrell as Phil, Sofia Vergara as Gloria, Jesse Tyler Ferguson as Mitchell, Eric Stonestreet as Cameron, Sarah Hyland as Haley, Nolan Gould as Luke, Ariel Winter as Alex and Rico Rodriguez as Manny.
Modern Family - Season 2
The Pritchett clan has Jay sitting at the head, a true guys’ guy experiencing a bit of mid-life crisis, who has remarried a much younger wife, Gloria, whose passion and loyalty is matched by her 11-year-old son, Manny, a boy wise beyond his years. Blending together in this new family is quite a learning experience for all involved with some culture clashes, a few awkward misunderstandings and plenty of sweet victories along the way.
Modern Family returns for its second season already the recipient of a Peabody Award, Writers Guild Awards, Directors Guild Awards, a Television Critics Award and six Emmy® Awards, including for Outstanding Comedy Series.
Season 1 only offers Portuguese subtitles.

This review is from: Modern Family - Season 1-2 [DVD] (DVD)
Fox have scored a solid gold smash with this series. What on first glance looks to be a rather generic family sitcom soon reveals itself as a laugh out loud comedy masterclass. Not since the classic early era of The Simpsons have we been treated to a show that will appeal to seasoned comedy fans every bit as much as the more casual viewer. It's about as broad as it's possible to get, but is one of the tightest, most sharply written shows I've seen - very reminiscent of the excellent Arrested Development in it's style - handheld camerawork combined with relentless, rapid fire gags and top notch verbal and physical comedy, with several running jokes that just get funnier every time. But unlike AD, Modern family doesn't have a mean-spirited or cynical bone in it's body, all the more impressive in my opinion.There isn't a weak link in the ensemble cast, with every single character having plenty of time to shine, and the interaction between them is always perfectly pitched. It's hard to pick favourites, but I tend to especially enjoy the episodes centred around the vivacious, sassy Gloria and her older, endearingly cantankerous husband Jay, and while it took me a little longer to truly warm to him, the perennially optimistic, lovably childlike Phil is also a winner. While the show as a whole is never less than entertaining, there are inevitably some episodes that are stronger than others. A few of them fall a little flat, and raise a smile rather than a laugh, but there's always a stone cold classic a couple of episodes later, such as the superb Hawaii vacation two parter, or the episode centred around the family portrait which closes season one. It's also admirable how the show always undercuts it's sentimental moments (of which there are many) with a bit of well-judged humour, which prevents things from becoming too trite or saccharine. Overall I can't recommend it highly enough, if you're umm-ing and ahh-ing over whether or not to buy, I say go for it, you won't regret it! My girlfriend and I caught a few episodes while abroad, and bought the series 1&2 set as soon as we got home, and I know it's one we'll return to again and again. I'll certainly be buying a few extra sets for gifts this Christmas.

Great Two Seasons!,
By James T (Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Modern Family - Season 1-2 [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Having already watched Modern Family on Sky One over the past few months, i have already seen most of the episodes. I really like the way there is no story arc throughout the seasons. You can easily switch to your favourite episode from the pop-up menu and just pop the disc in and it will start. I havent seen this feature in any other DVD/Blu-ray recently. The extras on the discs are OK, but somehow i;ve got the feeling that there is a lot more that the makers could supply. This may be something that they are holding back!It is a programme that can be enjoyed by all!
