Modern Family Season 8
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
“Modern Family” is the greatest – the writing , the acting, the production, did I say the writing? Every line seems to a good joke or sly insight; I can watch any episode five or six times – and I have – and still it enjoy it again. My only complaint about the latest episode is that the Little Ones, Lily and Joe, were missing, but I’m sure they’ll be there next time.
What a well-written show, the way they weave together the three strands of the Modern Family – Probably the smartest comedy of all time, but it doesn’t drive anyone away. (Or maybe it’s just Sofia Vergara that keeps so many coming back.)- Walter Stepp
Chances are anyone reading this by now, knows what the show is. It is definitely one of those sitcoms that finds what works and does not deviate much from the formula. That is not to say every show is the same, it is not. Even after 8 seasons, the writers have managed to come up with enough material to make the show enjoyable. All the characters are continuing to develop in different ways. The actors seem to still enjoy their characters and even after all these years do not seem to be phoning it in at all. While an argument can certainly be made that the show is getting a bit long in the tooth and could come to an end soon (it will at least have a 10th season), I think as long as it does not get stale and repetitive, it will continue to work.
What knocks the set down for me is the DVD presentation. It is another show that Fox is being cheap about with the DVDs. As most are probably aware, Fox prefers to have people stream the shows. It will put out very bare bones DVD sets for some shows, blu-rays for a very select handful of shows, and almost no extras. The only extras for this season are about 6 minutes worth of deleted scenes and a 5 or 6-minute gag reel. No commentary tracks, behind the scenes features or anything like what has appeared in the past. Unless you are getting the sets because you have the other seasons in a collection, you are not missing anything by streaming the show.

When I stumble onto a show that makes me laugh, I dig into it further. I like getting full seasons on DVD so I can control what/when/etc. I watch – as much or as little as I want, no commercials, no internet or cable outages to worry about. After seeing just one early episode of ‘Modern Family’ I was hooked. The Dunphys crack me up, especially Phil, who is hysterical. Every season of this show makes me laugh and also provides some nice insight into the human condition and a good look inside the complex interactions of a multi-generational family. This show does it right, consistently, with outrageous deadpan humor and subtle running gags. Plus, this season features an awesome cameo from Nathan Fillion!!
