Kindjal Reviews: 4

Pilot EpisodeRating: 4 likes, 1 dislikes ABC throws us into the lives of a 3 generation spanning family filmed in a "mockumentary" style. I am not a big fan of "mockumentaries" but that's a personal preference. At least they keep the camera shaking and odd camera movement to a minimum. The style element used most is the "on the couch" interview of the characters which can be quite amusing at times. Read more Review posted on Thursday, September 24th 2009 at 11:52 am

Modern FamilyRating: 1 likes, 1 dislikes I agree with Kindjal on some levels, like a very slow start for the show. I did watch the pilot just when it came out, but this show was washed away since i watch ALOT of series. Read more Review posted on Tuesday, January 11th 2011 at 2:12 pm
