If this show was released 10 years ago, I think it would have been as accepted as it is now. Back then, Will & Grace was on television and that tackled the subject homosexuality. Modern Family shows that subject as well but not to the extent that Will & Grace did. So, I feel like if it were released 10 years ago, there would be no problems because of the acceptance of other shows on TV at the time.
I feel like the show does portray family life in America. They aren't your typical families. It doesn't have just that ONE family, this show has three; the "Interracial Family", the "Ideal Family", and the "Gay Family". Although some situations are used for comedy, they are totally believable situations. I've never met a familiy like the families portrayed in Modern Family, but I feel like there culd be some families out there like them.

Hey, Eugene.
ReplyDeleteGreat thoughts regarding Modern Family. Your comments regarding the believability of the show's circumstances are interesting. Indeed, in making the plot so plausible, more Americans are able to apply the situations to themselves and *their* families. Intersting thoughts on Will and Grace. However, recall that Will and Jack were not in a family situation and were not raising children. With that said, how would the public have reacted if they were to enter intoa family situation with children, etc? Do you think they'd welcome the show as warmly as they did? Good thoughts, Eugene.
I don't see your Wolfson blog here. This blog received a 10/10. HOwever, a 10/20 will appear in the gradebook, since I don't see the Wolfson response.
