When asked about their favorite TV shows, both Obama and Romney mentioned “Modern Family.” It’s my favorite as well.
I really don’t watch much TV. I’ve never seen an episode of “Downton Abbey,” “Breaking Bad,” “Mad Men,” “Game of Thrones,” “Empire,” “Scandal,” or “Parks and Rec.” I read about a show being cancelled after six of seven years, and I’ve never seen one episode. I can’t stand MSNBC,. I don’t even know anyone who watches Fox. Network news doesn’t compare to the New York Times. I will admit to watching Jon Stewart about once every two weeks, and I do occasionally watch an episode of the “Big Bang Theory.”
So why do I like “Modern Family”? While I recognize that almost no real families in America have the kind of money the people on the show have, I like that it is a family. The gay couple is married with an adopted Vietnamese child, and the relationships are as complicated as those of any family. Plus Gloria is hot. Plus it’s really funny.
