About Modern Family
The family at the center of "Modern Family" is headed by Jay
Pritchett (Ed O'Neill), who is now
married to his second wife, the young, gorgeous Gloria (Sofía
Vergara), assumed by some to be his daughter. In their loving care
is Gloria's daydreaming son, Manny (Rico
Rodriguez). Jay's driven daughter, Claire (Julie Bowen), and her real estate agent husband,
Phil Dunphy (Ty Burrell), want an open, healthy relationship
with their three kids, which isn't always easy. Their
oldest daughter, Haley (Sarah
Hyland), grows up a little too fast. Middle child,
Alex (Ariel Winter), is a
too-smart-for-her-own-good daughter, and the youngest, Luke
(Nolan Gould), is a rambunctious
son. Where Phil wants to be the "cool dad," Claire is determined to
keep her kids from walking in the wayward footsteps of her younger
days. Jay's very serious son, Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson), and his gregarious
husband, Cameron (Eric Stonestreet),
become doting parents to Lily (Aubrey
Anderson-Emmons), the sweet Vietnamese girl they adopt.
Though life isn't always tidy, politically correct, or
predictable, it's always loving, heartwarming, and
hilarious for this blended, extended—and truly
modern—family.
Throughout its impressive run, "Modern Family" was
nominated for an astonishing 85 Emmy® Awards and won 22 including
five for Outstanding Comedy Series. The series was also honored
with a Golden Globe® Award, numerous Screen Actors Guild
Awards® and was recognized by the AFI, Humanitas and
Peabody organizations. "Modern Family" premiered in 2009 and aired
250 episodes spanning 11 seasons.
