Modern Family is a new spin on the family sitcom. Ed O'Neill, the father from Married with Children, has a hot young wife and young son, his adult son is gay with an adopted baby, and his daughter has a nuclear family.The gay couple is delightful. I'd like to see either of them in a straight role, since they are so convincing as a gay couple.
O'Neil is wealthy and smart enough to land a foxy young Columbian. She plays the role to a T while avoiding stereo-types of a foreign trophy wife. Her 10 year old son, Manny, is a riot. He's a miniature adult - overly articulate and thoughtful with a crush on his cute older step-cousin.
Catch episodes on Hulu.

The actor who plays the gay son was on a now-canceled James Brooks sitcom a few years ago called "the Class," about the 20-something alums of a kindergarten class. He was very funny as an insecure straight guy in that, but he was far from macho.
