This is my favourite TV show of the moment. It’s huge in the US at the mo, and is currently gathering a following back here in Londinium. It really is one of the funniest things I have seen in a long while.
Featuring a cast of relatively unknown actors it sharp writing and witty observations about family dynamics make for compelling and laugh out loud moments. Working in comedy I can be the harshest critic and I have yet to find anything I don’t like about this show (apart from the fact that SKY don’t have it on repeat daily…if anyone reading this can make this happen.. please do!)
This show is all centred around; One big (straight, gay, multi-cultural, traditional) happy family. And while its not always conventional, it is incredibly warm, and makes me feel better about having a quirky family, full of eccentric characters.
The cast are even funny looking, there’s the goofy guy (Ty Burrell) (who married a hot piece of ass (Julie Bowen), the older balding and over weight man (Ed O’Neill) who married a hottie (Sophia Vergaras – who’s so hot she makes me consider whether being a lesbian is an option) the gay couple (Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Eric Stonestreet)who have adopted a baby…who for me steal the show and have some of the funniest scenes by far.
Its not only an interesting take on a modern family unit, but they 2 dads are hilarious interacting both together and with the baby. I’m almost slightly jealous at how much fun they are, and sometimes find myself wishing I had 2 camp Dads for inspiration, life would never be dull with these two dudes, they are the right mixture of kind and camp…a winning combination.
I want to group hug their little family unit, do raspberries on their bellies and then move all of my junk into their silly little flat. I know it’s only a TV show, BUT I can get carried away with these things, I WANT TWO CAMP DADS PLEASE (if anyone reading this can make this happen… please do!)
