Modern Family Season 3
J**C
ABSOLUTELY THE FUNNIEST SHOW ON TV
I love the Dunphy/Pritchett family. Where else could you find a non-traditional, blended family that is filled with such joy and laughter? Mind you, this extended family has its issues but they stand as one united family when times are tough. MODERN FAMILY is one of the best, if not the best, comedy on TV. Season 3 did not disappoint. Jay is the patriach of the family and is remarried to a much younger sexy, saucy Colombian wife Gloria are raising her son Manny. Gloria is actually slightly younger than Jay's daughter Claire. Claire and Phil are a married couple with the "traditional" family - two daughters and a son. Claire's brother Mitchell lives with his gay partner Cam and their adopted Vietnamese daughter Lilly. Hence, we have the modern family - a blended mix of cultures and non-traditional families together as one big, loving family.The show is incredibly well-written and the cast is a pure delight. They all live near to each other so the lives of parents and children and cousins constantly merge. Gloria with her feisty Latina temper and heavy accent brings a special love and joy to the family. Goofy Phil Dunphy is the kind of silly but loving father that we all wish we had had. Gloria's son Manny is the glue that binds everyone together. This 13 year old is wiser and more mature than any of the adults. The show does play on stereotypes at times--the fiery latina and the effeminate gay men, yet somehow it is all done in good fun and respectable good taste. There is no meanness to the humor. Just sit back and roar with the laughter. There is a particularly finally episode of the family spending the day at the Disneyland Resort. Don't miss this season!

which is great if you like intelligent humor
I started watching season 1 of Modern family at the beginning of this summer, with the hopes of filling a void that was left after "The Office" went off. I've watched Big bang theory, which is great if you like intelligent humor, and Parks and Rec, for those of you (like myself) who may enjoy that quirky/slapstick/absurd humor. The way I would describe Modern Family is that after every episode I feel very entertained. It's not always "piss your pants" hilarious but I haven't came away from the an episode feeling like I wasted my time. Because there are so many different personalities on the show and you're bound to find a someI bought season 3 because I needed something to do/watch on an 8hr flight home. Having Amazon instant video allows you to download your purchases on to approved devices, so I bought season 3 and loaded it on to my ipod. I watched this about 3/4 of this season on my ipod for about 6 hrs straight, and it felt like the time "flew" literally. I hate flying on airplanes because I hate sitting still for long periods of time but this was one of the best and quickest 8hr flights I've had. I will definitely do the same for season 4.

Still going strong
Modern Family is a great show, one of the best on TV at the moment IMHO. I thoroughly enjoyed the first two seasons so naturally I would want the third. There are definitely some memorable episodes this season. Phil and Cam remain my favorite characters and my least favorite, Luke, seemed to noticably improve. However, I wouldn't say season 3 is on par with the previous two, and I'm not exactly sure why that is. Perhaps it's the change in the actress who plays Lilly, maybe it was due to Cam & Mitch and Phil & Claire getting into arguements practically every ep, or perhaps it's just that I enjoyed more eps in the prior seasons than this one; I don't know but there it is. I would recommend this show to anyone who likes good old-fashioned family television because there's something for everybody in it, especially if you've seen at least some of the show already but not yet S3. I can say that this is the season that 'stole the show' as it were with awards, and also why they all received a salary increase for season 4; I just hope they can keep up the quality.

consistently funny
When I stumble onto a show that makes me laugh, I dig into it further. I like getting full seasons on DVD so I can control what/when/etc. I watch - as much or as little as I want, no commercials, no internet or cable outages to worry about. After seeing just one early episode of 'Modern Family' I was hooked. The Dunphys crack me up, especially Phil, who is hysterical. Every season of this show makes me laugh and also provides some nice insight into the human condition and a good look inside the complex interactions of a multi-generational family. This show does it right, consistently, with outrageous deadpan humor and subtle running gags.

Arguably the best show on television right now
Modern Family has come to be synonymous with high praise and award show dominance. Season three proves that the hyperbole surrounding this hit-show are not chimerical and are, if anything, not strong enough. The wonderful cast, led by Ed O'Neil, always finds a way to be utterly believable to the point that it's easy to think of the characters as actual people, not invented personalities for the sake of entertainment. Eric Stonestreet, who portrays Cameron, is especially noteworthy for his flawless performance in each episode. The writing, though, is what really makes the show outstanding. A combination of touching, witty, and smart humour pervades each episode often pairing comedic antics with meaningful asides about family, the parent/child dynamic, etc. The pairing of intelligent scripts and phenomenal acting easily makes Modern Family a show worth watching but also a show worth owning for viewing when new episodes aren't airing. This is show is a classic in the making and may ultimately join the pantheon of iconic television shows against which all others are compared.

American life!!
実際のアメリカの家族内での出来事や様子をドラマ化したような感じです. 実際にホームステイなどをした事がある方なら, 懐かしい思いに浸る事ができるはずです. ホームステイした事がない方でも, 実体験をしてるかのように感じれるはずです. また英語字幕で鑑賞すると英語の勉強にもなります!! 家族で見るも良し, 友人同士, 個人で観ても楽しめる作品です

Enjoyable Series
We first watched this enjoyable series on Netflix, but suddenly it was no longer available. We were pleased to find it on Amazon Prime but after a few episodes it became pay per view at £1.89 per episode or £14.99 per season, so we were delighted to find this DVD at a bargain price. We've just watched the first episode and the picture quality etc was good. A good option for those who still have a dvd player.
