A family sitcom that was a hit 20 years ago is revived with the original cast, played by Keegan-Michael Key, Johnny Knoxville and Judy Greer, plus a young new writer (Rachael Bloom, and you can’t tell me they didn’t have Liz Lemon in mind when they created her look). Naturally, the passage of time has altered their lives and relationships with the other cast members. Steven Levitan, who’s best known for creating Modern Family, has infused surefire humurous energy throughout and mined the comic abilities of his talented cast. Ironically, most of the funniest moments come from the culture clashes in the writer’s room, which is a combo of young “wokes” and old school types. Like most classic TV sitcoms, Modern Family had 24 episodes in the first season to establish itself. This time Levitan only had 8. While the show isn’t at the level of Levitan’s biggest hit, with some time it may grow from a mildly amusing comedy into a truly hilarious hit. (3.5 / 5)
