Modern Family might not have had a cultural impact within everyone's immediate social circle or environments, but it was extremely confirming for:
• age gap couples
• busting "hot Latin wife" stereotypes
• gay marriage
• international/interracial adoption
• middle child syndrome
• midlife crisis
• eldest daughter issues
• neurodivergence
..and lots of other things for those who saw an episode or storyline they identified with. a show with no impact doesn't survive on network TV for a decade.
