One of my must-records this year is the new comedy, Modern Family. It's unlike anything I've seen television do before, but it's real, funny, and has a gay couple (with a baby) at its center. The performances are uniformly excellent and the whole thing has the improvised feel of a Christopher Guest movie.
The LA Times says: "Just when we were thinking it couldn't be done, ABC's "Modern Family" has single-handedly brought the family comedy back from the dead. Astute in a way we haven't seen since, oh, I don't know, "Family Ties" or maybe "Married . . . With Children," "Modern Family" is sharp, timely and fresh, complicated enough to be interesting but with a soft, sweet center because, and I'm speaking loudly so even cable channels can hear, there is nothing wrong with that."
Look for it in ABC on Wednesday nights.

It's made it across the pond as well. Check out Sky One on Thursday nights, repeated various nights throughout the week. We watched the first one and had hysterics. :D
