When he arrived he was a vigilante and deadly but certainly no saint or superhero. He murdered, kidnapped, extorted, coerced and did almost anything necessary to rid the world of criminals including the Mob family that killed his wife and children.&nb... Read More |

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 9/13/2018 9:24 PM EDT The numbers don't lie…nine seasons, two hundred and ten episodes, and seventy-five Emmy nominations with twenty-two wins. As ABC's longest running comedy series currently, Modern Family is obviously a hit and a half hour of television each week that has kept audiences entertained for almost a decade.
