Mad for 'Modern Family'
Not so long ago I started watching 'Modern Family', which for those of you who are unaware is an American TV show based around a family which could be perceived as family of today. Whats so Modern about this family? Well there is a Gay couple couple, and Dad/ Grandfather with a younger Columbian wife. So this family is 'Modern' compared to your average.
Anyway what is was going to say was...
From the moment I started watching the series till now, I've been drawn in and have become very and weirdly obsessive with the show. This seems to happen with me a lot with some television shows. The last time it occurred was 'Scrubs', what I do when I get obsessed is I seem to get involved with the show, its characters and the actors themselves. I research the actors, find their twitters, instagram pages and anything else I can find. I treat the characters that they portray on TV as real life people. Now, you may say this is a problem but I think, and hope, it is more common than I first anticipated.
I love the idea that the family and the characters that I see on TV are real and that the love they show and the affection I see in their eyes is actually pure and real. Not only love but the humour that they have, I hope that its their own! I think its only natural that when you watch a set of characters for an extended amount of time you grow a fondness for them, and also have them influence you as a person. I sometimes seem to act and do things like I was one of the characters. I just hope that all I have said is good and not just a load rubbish and madness.
Am I going mad? Or am I just mad for 'Modern Family'?
I hope the latter.
