(Trailer of each movies are pinned with the titles)
1. Modern Family
source
Modern Family is an American sitcom television series created by Christopher Lloyd and Steven Levitan. It follows the lives of three diverse family set-ups in suburban Los Angeles, linked by patriarch Jay Pritchett. Mainly the series focused on three families. They are different in their own ways.one is nuclear, one is blended and the other is same sex. Jay Pritchett is the father of Clair and Michel. Clair is married to Phil dumpy and have 3 children. Michel married to Cameron tucker and they adopted a child from Vietnam and named her Lilly tucker Pritchett. Jay is divorced and married a Colombian named Gloria Delgado. She had a son on her ex-husband and he is Manny. From the above description itself you might understand the complexity of the family. This family is the combination of different culture, language, jobs, mind-set etc. And the series shows the problems and solution in between them. As the name suggest, the family represent a modern life family and comically based situation which they encounters. Not like other comedy sitcoms, this show projects some moral or family values that we need in our daily life. They use to cover the entire corners of the family. ”we can laugh and we can change”. This is my view on modern family.
The show won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series in each of its first five years and the Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series four times . . It ran for eleven seasons, from September 23, 2009, to April 8, 2020.

3. Brooklyn Nine-Nine
This is one my favourite comedy sitcoms, which tells the story of some detectives .This series is famous for it’s cast and way of making. Brooklyn Nine-Nine is an American police procedural comedy television series created by Dan Goor and Michael Schur. The characters are Jake Peralta, a talented NYPD detective in Brooklyn who often comes into conflict with his commanding officer Raymond Holt. Rosa Diaz, Terry Jeffords, Amy Santiago, Charles Boyle, are the rest characters. The name Brooklyn came because of they are under 99th Precinct of the New York City Police Department in Brooklyn. The show despites the daily challenges faced by them and how the handle it in a funny way. The team is leaded by Raymond Holt. Detectives include Jake Peralta, an ace investigator with a high rate of successfully solved cases but his immature nature makes trouble. Amy Santiago is his colleague who helps him in different situations. Jake's best friend, the timid and loyal Charles Boyle is often partnered with Rosa Diaz. The pair of older detectives, Michael Hitchcock and Norm Scully seems lazy but they were legends in their peak time.
The combination of these people uplift the series to a next level of experience. The major part which differentiate this from other sitcoms is, there is no extra sound track of people laughing is used. The first episode was in 2013 and the end season will be in 2022.
