Modern Family quickly became a beloved sitcom after it premiered on ABC in 2009, with its documentary-style storytelling of three related families, Jay Pritchett and his two adult children, Claire and Mitchell, and their own spouses and children, all in different phases of their lives and living in suburban Los Angeles. Modern Family was a funny yet heartfelt look at contemporary families that showed that no matter how different families may seem, they all have more in common than one might think. It ran for 11 seasons and over 250 episodes, coming to an end in 2020.
