Top 10 sitcom families

1. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (1990–1996) and Modern Family (2009 – present)
As much deliberation as there was, the spot for the number one sitcom family is a tie. Along with the theme of the classic sitcom families, the The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Banks family who takes in relative, Will- played by Will Smith – is one that has certainly given America some hearty laughs and important life lessons about responsibility, respect, and maturity. When the California family takes in the street-smart Philadelphia teen, a whole lot of chaos ensues, but with a whole lot of love in between.

More recently, the unconventional extensions of the Pritchett family, including father Jay, played by Ed O’Neill – remember him Married…With Children too - and his new wife Gloria, played by Sofia Vergara. Then there is the Dunphy family, with Jay’s daughter Claire, her husband Phil and their three kids, Alex, Haley, and Luke, along with Jay’s son Mitchell, his life partner Cameron and their adopted Vietnamese daughter Lily. With Eric Stonestreet as Cameron Tucker, Jesse Tyler Ferguson as Mitchell Pritchett, 
Julie Bowen as Claire Dunphy, 
Ariel Winter as Alex Dunphy, 
Nolan Gould as Luke Dunphy, 
Rico Rodriguez as Manny Delgado, 
Sarah Hyland as Haley Dunphy,
and Ty Burrell as Phil Dunphy, the star-studded cast makes for one hilarious family and oddly relatable connection of households. The documentary style of the show, and the fresh, 21st century take on the modern family is true to form as it explores family, school, cultural, gender, sexuality, and relationship issues while keeping the most important thing in the mind of the audience; the importance of family and knowing that everyone else’s family might just be a little crazy too.
