Modern Family, a mockumentary-styled sitcom which follows the lives of Jay Pritchett and his family, boasts of an ensemble cast portraying the members of three suburban Los Angeles families living who are interrelated through Jay Prichett (Ed O'Neill) and his children, Claire (Julie Bowen) and Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson). Jay is remarried to a much younger woman, Gloria (Sofia Vergara), a much younger Colombian woman with whom he has a baby son and a teenaged stepson son from Gloria's previous marriage, Manny (Rico Rodriguez). Jay's daughter Claire is married to Phil Dunphy (Ty Burrell), a real-estate agent and self-professed 'cool dad' with whom she has three children: Haley (Sarah Hyland) the stereotypical ditzy teenage girl; Alex (Ariel Winter), a nerdy, smart middle child; and Luke (Nolan Gould), the offbeat only son. Jay's lawyer son Mitchell and his husband Cameron (Eric Stonestreet) have an adopted Vietnamese daughter, Lily (Aubrey Anderson-Eamons).
Modern Family has won many awards, including the Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series in each of the past five years.
