Today, I saw the last episode of Modern Family.
The episode aired 2 days ago ( i think ) but something kept me from watching it. Watching this episode would mean there would be no other episodes to watch of this incredible series. There would be no rolling of the eyes by Alex, no dumb acts by Luke, no sassy moments involving Gloria, no blissful ignorance of Haley, no over dramatic moments from Mitch and Cam’s life, no goof ups from Phil, no hyperactivity from Clair, no cute layered emotions coming from Jay, no man-like moments from Manny’s life and no witty one-liners by Lily.
I stumbled upon Modern Family when it was on it’s second season. Since the first day, first episode that I watched of this series, it has done nothing but made me laugh, cry and “see” things their way.
The last episode (season 11, episode 18) was simply titled “Finale” and there were more than 3 occasions where I teared up and just wanted to give everyone a BIG hug.
When you watch a series like Modern Family, before you realise it, you become a part of an incredible family and just kind of get to know the members like you’d know in your own family.
This series has done a great job bringing laughter to our homes, making us sensitive towards diversity, helping us embrace the different forms and genres of love and affection and setting an example of what being a family member actually means.
I won’t be giving any spoilers here. All I would say is, whenever you watch the episode, keep a couple of tissues handy and be prepared to say one of the hardest goodbyes of your life.
