List of episodes

On May 10, 2013, Modern Family was renewed for a fifth season.[1] The first episode, "Suddenly Last Summer", which premiered on September 25, 2013 on ABC, made reference to the newly legalized same-sex marriage in California. The writers said that a wedding for Mitch and Cam was a "real possibility".[2]

In early 2014 it was revealed that the show would come to Australia for this season's vacation episode.

Cast

Modern Family employs an ensemble cast. The series focuses on Jay Pritchett (Ed O'Neill), his daughter Claire Dunphy (Julie Bowen), and his son Mitchell Pritchett (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) who live in Los Angeles. Claire is a homemaker married to Phil Dunphy (Ty Burrell); they have three children, Haley (Sarah Hyland), a teenager concerned most with popularity and boys,[3] Alex (Ariel Winter), the smart middle child[4] and Luke (Nolan Gould), the offbeat only son.[5] Jay is married to a much younger Colombian woman, Gloria (Sofía Vergara), and is helping her raise her pre-teen son, Manny (Rico Rodriguez). Mitchell and his partner Cameron Tucker (Eric Stonestreet) have adopted a Vietnamese baby, Lily (Aubrey Anderson-Emmons).

Reception

Reviews

Although certain episodes like "Suddenly Last Summer/First Days" and "The Late Show" have received moderate reviews from critics, reception for most of the other episodes has been somewhat more mixed. In one of the publication's most negative reviews of a "Modern Family" season yet, Matthew Wolfson of Slant Magazine writes that the show "appears to have finally arrived at the depressing and predictable low point toward which it's been trending for the past two years." He also went on to say that the show had "turned into a shrill pastiche of stereotypical characterizations and superficial banter lacking both feeling and wit," giving it a star rating of 1.5/4.[18] With the exception of the season premiere and the Christmas-themed episode, different writers for The A.V. Club have, in total, rated every episode of the season so far with a "B-" grade or less. In his review for "ClosetCon '13," Joshua Alston gave it a "C+" and remarked that "Modern Family becomes a high-wire act when it separates its characters into three storylines with no overlap between them."[19]

Despite the less than fair reception for the season so far, Aubrey Anderson-Emmons' performance as Lily has received positive reviews. In his review of "The Help," Joe Reid, writing for the same website, called Lily a "veritable one-liner machine."[20] Reviewing the same episode, Leigh Raines of TV Fanatic said that the funniest part of the half-hour was "Lily at the end rolling her eyes and banging her head on the table listening to Cam, Mitchell and Pepper arguing over wedding plans."[21]
