Oldest to youngest. User reviews Review. Top review. Smart and Funny. Modern Family is one of the best shows on TV in It's written by smart and funny people. I usually avoid ABC because their programming in years past has been terrible and vanilla.

Happy to see they have taken some chances on this show and hooray for them, it seems to be finding an audience and critics love it too. I usually hate shows with little kids in the cast The gay Mitchell and Cameron couple are portrayed honestly and they are hilarious. The very underrated Ed O'Neill is pitch perfect as the grouchy but soft family patriarch.

Since then, she's been the face of CoverGirl, been nominated for both Emmys and Golden Globes, has starred in successful movies like "Hot Pursuit" and "Chef," and has been named the highest-paid television actress in America for seven consecutive years, according to Forbes.

When year-old Rico Rodriguez was introduced as the unbelievably mature Manny Delgado at the start of the show, his wisdom and class hilariously mismatched the young kid on the screen. He's had small roles in a number of small projects over the years but hasn't acted since "Modern Family.
