The “modern day” sitcom took the world by storm, building on the success of its hyped pilot to rocket to the top of TV ratings. Combining elements of earlier family comedies such as “Marriage with Children” with more subtle and sophisticated writing like “The Office” or “Friends”, “Modern Family” has firmly established itself as a leader in its genre. While the show relies heavily on funny and perplexing situations, it also does a tremendous job of identifying each character, epitomizing the week-by-week features. Here are some of the best quotes by and about each of the sitcom’s main characters.

Alex: You’re never alone when you have books. (Season 2, Episode 3, “Earthquake”)

Claire – A Good Mother With a Happy Past
