i cant not even reconcile in my head how you guys like this show so much.
Skitch, Even though I love Modern Family, and you hate it, my guess is that there are a lot of shows that we both like or love.....
To demonstrate, here are a list of some of my favorite comedies (mixing some old w/ new:
Seinfeld Curb your Enthusiasm Cheers Big Bang Theory Modern Family Simpsons Family Guy South Park The Office The Cosby Show Parks and Recreation 30 Rock
I watched another episode, in fact, am watching it now. I dont get the love for this show on any level. Its a cliche family sitcom without a laugh track. I would rate this below a mediocre episode of the Office.
I disagree, at this point, I think it's better than the Office.
the office is not, and never has been, that good. this show however is borderline bad. Its nauseatingly cliche. OMG their family was having some issues... Hey, lets spread mud all over each other so we can see how silly we were acting!!!
I actually agree with this, but I think you're holding a family sitcom to a more high-brow standard than is reasonable.
yes, this show is goofy, cheesy, cliched. but it's also really damn funny.

Exactly. It's not breaking any new ground, but it's actually funny and has some characters that are interesting and not a walking cliche (at least so far).

There's nothing to get, Skitch. You either like it or you don't.

I think he's hilarious. His partner has had some funny moments too.

He's a calmer, older Al Bundy. How can this be bad?
The mother isn't the best character by a long shot, but Phil & his son are a great, especially in scenes they play together. And Manny is pretty funny too. No real cliches with these characters.

It's just a funny show.
Manny is definitely one of my favorites from the show.
In the second-season premiere, Phil reluctantly agrees to get rid of the Dunphy station wagon, which prompts a wave of nostalgia for the old car. Meanwhile, Cameron enlists Jay's help when Mitchell tries to build a princess castle for Lily; and Manny asks a girl to come over to study.
