Egy rém modern család

Modern Family falls into that category of TV shows where young actors grow up on screen and, once the filming wraps up, they exit as fully-fledged adults. I'll readily admit that I've grown quite attached to this show, and despite a few rough patches over the eleven seasons, the good moments clearly outweigh the bad. If I had to pick my top three characters, it would undoubtedly be Phil, Claire, and Gloria, with the Dunphys, in particular, being my constant favorites (I'll never forget Phil's slingshot ride). In a nutshell, it provided straightforward entertainment that often had me bursting into laughter. It lost its charm when the creators attempted to delve too deeply into serious themes. / Lesson learned: Holidays were the best :-) (2022.07.20)

The longer I postponed watching the daily troubles of the Dunphy/Pritchett/Tucker/Delgado clan, the more clearly I suspected that once I managed to get to it, it would be worth it. And I'm very glad I was absolutely right. All the people involved are somehow crazy, quirky, and magical in different ways, and thanks to that, I love my extended family even more. Maybe that's precisely because I meet people like them in the town where I grew up (specifically Alex and Phil, maybe that's the reason why I like them the most in the series). The second strong weapon of the Family lies in the differences in humor among individual households. While Cam and Mitchell, thanks to the natural and appropriately breezy melodramatics of Eric Stonestreet, can turn even the most banal plot into turbulent theatrical twists and turns, a little ways down a seemingly simple contrast is being drawn with the calm-seeking Jay and the temperamental Gloria. Such a storyline has a harder life in the Czech Republic because here "international" relationship dynamics are still a peripheral matter, so some gags may fall on infertile ground. Perhaps because of that, many viewers still think that the joke lies in the fact that the bombshell married an older patriarch for money, which is, first of all, a great shame and, secondly, completely wrong. But my favorite group is Claire, Phil, and their children. She takes care of everything, he is a millionaire father but an impossible husband who literally and figuratively does well with his decisions. In combination with the explosive trio of offspring, it is a group that I would love to have at home one day and at the same time, it has such a perfect chemistry that it doesn't even need a script, maybe just an idea, to throw to that brilliant quintet. Until the very end of the rich eleven seasons, it was an incredibly stable (although inevitably becoming less specifically recognizable) source of joy in life, which was unrivaled in the realm of family sitcoms, and forever a spectacle that could make you laugh and touch you in a single minute. P.S. Gotta fix that step! (2015.05.20)
