The Last Great Sitcom? A Modern Family Retrospective
The ending of Modern Family in 2020 prompted a lot of think pieces about the death of the sitcom, so in this video I decide to take a look back at the 11 season ABC show Modern Family starring Sarah Hyland, Ed O’Niell, Sofia Vergara, and many more, to see how good or bad the show actually was, especially when it comes to the gender, racial, and LGBTQ+ stereotypes the show tries to break down.
