Modern Family

The concept of the serie was influenced by the French mockumentary serie "Fais pas ci, fais pas ça" created in 2007.

While still living in her native Colombia, Sofía Vergara used to watch the Spanish-dubbed version of Matrimonio con hijos (1987) featuring her co-star-to-be Ed O'Neill. After she landed the role as Ed's wife Gloria on Modern Family, she was disappointed to learn that Ed spoke no Spanish.

The only non-family member that appears in every season is Dylan.
