Traveller519 October 16, 2014 Share October 16, 2014 I had no problems with Emmy wins 1 and 2 for Modern Family, and probably even Season 3. During that time the show was consistent and better than your typical laugh track schlep, but the show has been surpassed the past couple seasons by shows like Louis, Veep, and Silicon Valley. The fact that it keeps wining just feels like laziness on the voters' parts. I like Modern Family, I still DVR every week, but I don't get excited for it the way I once did, or the way I do now, for one of the shows listed above or Brooklyn 99. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3825-modern-family-in-the-media/#findComment-472066

Just being a good show for a long time doesn't mean you deserve five straight Emmies, when there are many comedies in my opinion as good or better than this one. In fact The Middle on just one hour before it on the same network I think it just as good if not better. Archer, Its Always SUnny in Philadelphia, Brooklyn 99, Lillyhammer if you consider it as a comedy (and if Ally Freakin' McBeal won as a comedy, surely Lillyhammer should qualify), Parks and Rec......all as good or better in my opinion as Modern Family. And thats just off the top of my head that I watch myself. Its not that I don't enjoy the show. I still watch, I love it. Its the Emmy voters getting fixated on one show and failing to recognize other shows year to year that also deserve recognition. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3825-modern-family-in-the-media/#findComment-674822
Roaster December 29, 2014 Share December 29, 2014 (edited) I didn't say Modern Family deserved to win all those Emmys (certainly not last year's), And I wouldn't put Modern Family among the top 5 comedies on TV today, or even the best of this century (I would put Parks and Rec on that list). But, it is of some historical note that Modern Family garnered enough support to win the Emmy five times in a row. I suspect many Emmy voters don't bother to watch the nominees, but still, Modern Family has been a ratings and cultural winner for a while now. And that is impressive.

DrSpaceman January 5, 2015 Share January 5, 2015 I just find it frustrating so many shows get overlooked, not just in winning but in being nominated, while this show, based largely on reputation and popularity rather than on writing quality, keeps getting nominated and winning Its more a commentary on the poor job the Emmy committee does than how I feel about this show. I like the show just fine. I just wish the people responsible for the Emmys would actually do their jobs and nominate and vote for the actual best shows rather than the shows they THINK are the best based on past performance. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3825-modern-family-in-the-media/#findComment-694989

I did get a slightly uncomfortable vibe from Ariel having to answer a question about her growth and maturity on the show and how she related to that. Then an older man in the audience was comparing her to Sofia Vergara--it just looked to me that she was not feeling it and at some point after the Sofia comparison even Sarah Hyland said she was not comfortable.

Right and to add to the complexity of bras, there are "sister sizes" where you can do something like go up a band size and down a cup size and the bra will still fit you.
