The Wee Archive: The Wee Writing Lassie’s Top 5 Favorite Modern Family Characters

Welcome to the next instalment of The Wee Archive – remember to see more content like this all the earlier sign up to the Wee Mailing List.

5. Lily Tucker-Pritchett

I find Lily really funny, in fact she’s one of the funniest characters in the show, and I think she’s really under rated as a a character in that regards. Granted it’s a very dry, sometime mean sense of humour, but in a show that gradually let its characters become monsters all for a sake of a good laugh, that shouldn’t put people off.

4. Early Gloria Pritchett

I really liked early seasons Gloria, she was warm, understanding, and loving, as well as being strong and determined. She was also funny – Modern Family is a comedy show after all – but her strongest elements as a character was what would have made her likeable as a person. Which in a sitcom is surprisingly rare. I could sit here and talk (or write) for hours why I don’t like later Seasons Gloria Pritchett, or how she gradually lost anything that made her a decent person and just became well…not that.

3.  Pepper Saltzman

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Nathan Lane, what else is there to say.

2.  Cameron Tucker

God, Cameron Tucker was the second best person in the show. Funny and sweet in the earlier seasons, and while he did get progressively meaner with each passing season, unlike Gloria his particular brand of meanness never felt too far off from his original character. And if you’ve read the original post, than you should be able to guess who my the person in the show was.

1. Dylan Marshall

Yep, that’s right – it’s Dylan. And for those of you who don’t understand why, check out the original post here and you soon will.
