I think the babies that play Lily have autism.

I agree with you about Lily, she is the most docile baby/toddler I think I have ever seen. I often wonder if maybe she is deaf, I just can’t figure out how that kid never moves and is totally expressionless all the time. Honestly I think they wait to shoot scenes with her until just before she is ready to go to sleep. I think there is only one scene where she was up crying and that was when Mitch was deciding to Ferberize her and to be honest I am not even sure if Lily is on camera crying or not. I think that is the joke of Lily though on the show. Mitch is stressy and Cam flamboyant it is quite funny that they would have such a docile kid. I think that is how she is funny. I did read somewhere though that they might recast Lily to have a bit older child next season so it will be interesting to see what kind of personality she is once she is talking.

@AD lover Agreed one of my favourite shows after Arrested Development and Avatar The Last Airbender

modern family started out all right in season 1, but now every episode is more predictable than a rerun. there are almost zero jokes that would catch anyone off guard, which is at least 80% of what makes any joke successful. the level of sophistication and thought that goes into the plot’s conflicts, twists, and resolutions is akin to that for a looney tunes segment (which isn’t shit, but there is nothing original about it).

clearly there is a market for these harmless, feel-good family comedies with endearing characters, and i don’t dislike modern family, but i watch comedy for the laughs, not the awws. sorry for being a snob.

Yeah, i loved the first season. The second is just a repeat of the first season. I now expect the show to go on for 4 more seasons, repeating a lot of jokes.
And comparing shows to other shows is a bad way to start any show. “Oh, The Killing is just like Twin Peaks”. Similar idea, but different story, vibe and attitude. Plus i don’t anything will get boring and psychedelic in its second season.
BTW, Hope > Lily. Hope is a way cuter than Lily. Lily was adorable but hasn’t really developed much.

i finally jumped on that bandwagon a couple weeks ago after being told by many friends that it was awesome (one went so far to say it was better than Arrested Development and It’s Always Sunny… which is not true).

i’ve been pleasantly surprised and think it’s a smart and funny show and may succeed where AD failed (too smart for the general public)… not saying modern family is a dumbed-down version, but it’s close.

Ty Burrell stole the show in Dawn of the Dead, and he’s funny here as well, but in a different way. I actually think Luke is one of the funniest kids on the show. It’s even more funny when you read the the actor who plays him is a Mensa Member and is a genius. Manny is really a one trick pony, and winds up being the most annoying on the show.

Hey JohnC, I like your complaint about there not being a plot. Only situations. It is a SITCOM after all. You DO know that sitcom stands for situation comedy, right?

I LOVE that this baby is portrayed that way! It’s perfect for this show! I am amazed that they catch the twins being so docile for their shots. Too funny! She’s perfect!
