I do not think so. The average American IQ when it comes to understanding foreign cultures and other groups that are not part of the heterosexual paradigm is -20, and this negative score is usually, and sadly, gained through TV since people do not take the time to acquire the knowledge the way it should be done: through personal contact and speech, studying how they express themselves, reading newspapers and literature, watching their films , etc. This show is only helping perpetrate the already existing equivocal stereotypes and, the worst part of all, increasing the already prevailing stupidity of the general public Can TV, and prime time TV for that matter, fall any lower?

It's definitely the new fall show I'm most looking forward to. Jesse Tyler Ferguson is great. The Modern Family trailer looks awesome. It’s definitely the new fall show I’m most looking forward to.

Ugh. Ed O'Neill....if he's half as funny here as he was on Married w/ Children, I'm in. Julie Bowen should thank her lucky Dharma stars that she's a part of the Lost mythology. She'll be better known for that show than she ever is for Modern Family. I love the docu-style shooting. Watching NBC two nights ago, it hit me (not like it's a big secret) that the less-intelligent viewers don't like those shows---even tho they're funnier---because there's no annoying laugh track to TELL them when to laugh. Then I sit thru an ep of 2.5 Sheens, and the constant laugh-track (when *nothing* funny at all is happening) makes me want to claw my eardrums out. Kids? Ugh.
