Modern Family has been one of the most important sitcoms of the last decade featuring more diverse looks at what a normal family is. The sitcom followed the daily lives of several families, including an interracial blended family and a gay couple who adopt a child. Despite its massive success, there are currently no spin-off series in the works. The series finale promises to wrap up the storylines of our favorite characters and show the difficulty of saying goodbye.
