Reviews by Matt

I have gotten a little personal over the past few blogs so I think its time to bring it back to what I do best: reviews.

One of the best new shows this season is ABC’s “Modern Family.” The show focuses on three branches of an extended family. At the top of this family tree is the recently remarried Jay and his new wife Gloria and her young son from a previous marriage, Manny. Jay has two grown children from his first marriage, Claire and Mitchell. Claire is married to Phil, a man who tries way to hard to be hip and cool. Mitchell and his partner Cameron just adopted a baby and are experiencing fatherhood for the very first time.

The show is shot a lot like “The Office,” in a documentary style. There are “interviews” with the family members and we get some insight into the characters. The show is really quite funny. There are instances where is may verge on the absurd, but reason I watch this show it that it has heart. No matter what happens, who says what, does what or causes what, family always wins out in the end.

Check it out. It will be worth it, trust me.
