Mitchell and Cam Walking Down the Aisle
Few modern sitcoms have managed to have the impact that Modern Family has had over the years. Despite such hits as The Office and 30 Rock being at their peak back in 2009, Modern Family managed to find its own footing from its first episode. Family sitcoms were nothing new, but the show added a twist to the genre by following one large family divided into three smaller ones.
However, while repetitiveness and character regression are certainly present in this season, it also has a few episodes that are really impactful. "Torn Between Two Lovers" finds Haley with a very important decision to make, and while there is certainly controversy as to who she should have ended up with, her decision to choose Dylan over Arwin felt satisfying and in character.
This season also has some very interesting episode concepts. "Do It Yourself" is a perfect example as this episode builds on the relationship between Jay and Phil through a shared goal. If one were to tell Season 1 Jay that he would invest in property with Phil, he would have thought that he got hit by a model plane. It was really nice seeing Jay and Phil working together and growing closer in the process.
Aside from the climactic wedding episode, this season has a lot of iconic moments. Claire and Jay grow closer as they learn to get used to their new work situation. Manny joining the football team was also a pleasant surprise that would lead to several great football-related episodes. This season also explored the mental health struggles that teens could go through, as "Under Pressure" put the focus on Alex learning to deal with her feelings of not being understood by her own family.
Season 1 also has several episodes that are the best in Modern Family. Episodes like "Come Fly With Me," "The Incident," and "Coal Digger" had very impactful family moments that were the foundation for the family to become even closer in later seasons. Not to mention, these episodes, and many others this season, had many laughs for fans to enjoy.
