Sitcom---Modern Family

Sitcom was first presents on TV in the late 1940s. Most of the sitcoms were thirty minutes in length and aired weekly. Episodic is one of the characteristics of TV sitcom.  “I love Lucy” was an example of early sitcom that we watched and discussed in class few weeks ago. The episodic show ends where it begins; it teaches a lesson to audience, and humorous. Modern Family is one of the sitcoms that I enjoy watching. It’s basically a story of three inter-related family and the trials that each of them face. There’s the rebellious teen seduced by popularity, the beautiful Colombian second wife, and dad who trying to be cool. Modern Family is a 30 minutes episodic sitcom that integrated current events into their storylines, such as new Apple product Ipad or upcoming Halloween. Audiences don’t necessary have to watch the entire season to understand what’s going on.
