Can Modern Family become one of the all-time great TV comedies?

Is there anyone who doesn't like the comedy series "Modern Family"? How could you not like this show, with its totally adorable characters, a wide variety of types who, as in so many complex modern families, are all somehow related and somehow manage to relate to one another. The episodes are not only very funny, beautifully scripted both line by line and in the odd twists and connections that links the various plot strands in each episode in surprising ways. They're also uplifting, feel-good without being (too) schmaltzy and without being tendentious. Many of the great comedy shows have been largely about character, but this one is almost unique in that it's about character-driven plots, three separate strands generally, one for each family "branch," that neatly tie together in a sharp conclusion - some of the best-written short scripts since the Dick Van Dyke Show, in my opinion. Not as comically funny as shows like Seinfeld or The Office - no one in modern family is a well-known or rising comic star building his or her own career - they're all "in character" in this ensemble rather than comic actors using the venue of a series to spin material. But the show is very funny in the broadly comic sense of humor as an illumination on the oddities of life - we continually recognize ourselves and our friends (and family) in these characters - and yet each is so distinct, and so different from one another. I'm not sure if it's yet one of the great TV comedies, but over time as the characters grow and develop and change it will have a chance to rise to those ranks. For now, it's surely one of the most likable shows on TV.
