Top 5 shows to watch if you enjoyed Modern Family
Schitt's Creek
Created by Eugene Levy and Dan Levy, Schitt's Creek is a great choice for someone who loves Modern Family. Following the Rose family, who were ultra-rich before they went bankrupt, Schitt's Creek depicts their journey as they are forced to come and live in a boring and small town called Schitt's Creek, which happens to be the only one of their properties that have remained.
With the sudden change of status and living style, the Rose family finds it jarring to get used to their new environment. With razor-sharp humor and well-written characters, Schitt's Creek does not have a single boring moment as either one of the four members of the family is always up to something.
Schitt's Creek can be streamed on Netflix.
Young Sheldon
When talking about sitcoms that focus on families like Modern Family, it is difficult to not mention Young Sheldon. Serving as a prequel to The Big Bang Theory (TBBT), this show follows Sheldon Cooper in his childhood as he grows up to become the adult that viewers meet in TBBT.
Young Sheldon also focuses on Sheldon's family, including his parents, siblings, and his grandmother. Like Modern Family, this show is also filled with hilarious and somewhat unconventional characters. The humorous dialogues serve as icing on the cake.
Young Sheldon can be streamed on Amazon Prime Video.
Arrested Development
Created by Mitchell Hurwitz, Arrested Development follows the Bluth family as the patriarch George Bluth Sr. goes to prison on charges of fraud. Perfect for the fans of Modern Family, this show’s humor is mostly dry, yet extremely witty, ensuring constant moments of laughter.
The Bluth family in Arrested Development gets as dysfunctional as possible and the jokes made by the characters add to the hilarity. The characters are eccentric and the show has rewatch value because of the detailing that is put into the narrative and the character development.
Arrested Development can be streamed on Netflix.
The Simpsons
One of the OG sitcoms, The Simpsons would be an ideal choice for people who love Modern Family. Running since 1989, The Simpsons has stood out because of its stark humor and characters.
From predicting future events with stark accuracy to critiquing certain aspects of American society through means of caricature, The Simpsons checks every box that makes a good sitcom.
While sometimes the themes get a little heavy or mature, the show always has a humorous quality that assures a good time.
The Simpsons can be streamed on Hulu or Disney+.
Malcolm in the Middle
Another landmark show in the history of American sitcoms, Malcolm in the Middle followed Malcolm, a brilliant child who lived with his dysfunctional family. As is evident from the title, Malcolm is the middle child. Being a middle child comes with its unique set of problems that are hilariously portrayed in the show.
Fans of Modern Family will love Malcolm in the Middle because both shows share themes of family, kids growing up in an ever-changing world, etc. The fact that Malcolm is a genius here further adds humorous layers to the narrative.
Malcolm in the Middle can be streamed on Hulu or Disney+.
