While Modern Family was not the riskiest sitcom in television history, the comedy series did manage to break a major TV rule for the first time.
While Modern Family wasn’t usually the most experimental sitcom, the show did feature one unique television history first. Modern Family was not, for the most part, one of the more ambitious sitcoms of the '00s.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT For most of its runtime, Modern Family cared about Haley’s romances, Alex’s professional ambitions, Cam and Mitchell’s arguments, and Phil’s latest embarrassing misadventure more than any attempts at experimentation or meta-humor. This made the series a success as Modern Family provided warm, character-based comedy in an era when sitcoms were starting to experiment with weirder, less accessible humor.
Modern Family Pulled Off the First Screenlife Episode In 2015, Modern Family season 6, episode 16, “Connection Lost,” became the first screenlife episode of a US network TV show. Taking place entirely on a computer screen, “Connection Lost” was a classic Modern Family outing wherein a miscommunication led Phil and Claire to erroneously think that Haley and Andy were eloping.
The screenlife format, unlike the typical mockumentary style utilized by Modern Family, comes with a lot more restrictions and limitations. However, the format can also allow for clever storytelling opportunities, as seen when Claire’s snooping through Haley’s internet history and phone tracking allows her to uncover a book on pregnancy, the address of a Las Vegas chapel, and a host of other concerning details.
Modern Family’s Experiment Was Ahead of Its Time While there were a few minor indie movies that experimented with screen life pre-2015 , “Connection Lost” was one of the first pieces of evidence for the format’s mainstream potential. In the years since, major hits like Searching, Host, and Spree have adopted the style while the screen life episode of The Simpsons mentioned above proves the style has broken through to the mainstream.
