- TriviaAriel Winter was only 11 years old when she was cast as Alex Dunphy, and was always accompanied on set by her mother. According to cast and crew, the mother was always talking down to her about her weight and performance, up to the point where the producers wanted her banned from the set. In 2012, Winter was removed from her mother's home following allegations of physical and emotional abuse, and in 2016, Winter herself announced that she was legally emancipated from her parents.
- GoofsMitchell and Cameron adopted a child from Vietnam. This is legally impossible as Vietnam's laws forbid a child to be adopted by single parents or same sex couples.

Featured review
Modern Family is a documentary style sitcom that follows the lives of a family. There's a reason why this show and it's actors/actresses won so many awards over the years...because it's hilarious! The cast (Ed O'Neill, Ty Burrell, Sofia Vergara, Eric Stonestreet, Julie Bowen, Ariel Winter, Sarah Hyland, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, among others) is one of the best overall casts in sitcom history. There's really not a weak link among them, they're all pretty much equally funny! Of course everyone has their favorites and some are a little better than others but not by much. It's a testament to the writing and the actors that you're favorite character will probably change several times throughout the series.
