Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The show's working title was 'My American Family' and ABC only greenlit it after Levitan promised it wasn't 'too niche' for Middle America.
Modern Family single-handedly kept the multi-camera sitcom alive while single-camera comedies dominated, proving audiences still craved traditional family warmth with a documentary twist.
