How Good Is That Show?

Modern Family is a powerhouse comedy. There are about 3 actors in the show that will make you go, "I know him/her from somewhere." but the rest of the cast is relatively unknown. BUT EVERY ONE OF THEM IS A BRILLIANT COMEDIC ACTOR! Even the kids in the show are hilarious. HILARIOUS I TELL YOU. If you don't believe me, check out an episode the next time you see it on TV. You don't even need to know the general premises of the show to enjoy a random episode, but in case you're one of those people that need to know what's going on, here is my quick rundown of what the show is all about. There is a family. Ed O'Neill (Ed Bundy of Married With Children) is newly married to the gorgeous and much younger Sophia Vergara. She has a son from her previous marriage that is as young as his grandchildren. He has two children. Julie Bowen (You will recognize her from many many previous TV shows.) and Jesse Tyler Ferguson. She is married to Ty Burrell (You will recognize him as the douche from Zack Snyder's Dawn Of The Dead.)(HE IS HILARIOUS IN THIS SHOW! THERE IS NOT A SINGLE LINE OF HIS THAT WILL NOT BRING YOU TO TEARS!) and they have 3 wonderfully funny children. Jesse Tyler Ferguson is a homosexual man and his partner/husband played by Eric Stonestreet play the perfect couple who have an adopted Asian daughter. Simple enough, right? Watch the show. Do it. Right now. I guarantee that you laugh and enjoy it.

ANYWAYS! Back to the reason why I started to write about the best comedic TV show. The 63rd Primetime Emmy Nominations have been announced today and Modern Family received 17 nominations which included:
