Some shows appear and disappear almost overnight; others become institutions. Modern Family is in the latter category: more than five years after it finished it's still one of the most watched shows on Disney+ globally.
Modern Family ran from 2009 to early 2020, and like any show with so many seasons it's fair to say that it lost some of its freshness over time: where season 1 has a stellar 100% rating from the critics on Rotten Tomatoes, the final season – season 11 – only reached 80%. But that's still a much higher rating than many rival sitcoms, and there's still lots to praise.
