Mockumentary?

edit

The first line of the introduction says Modern Family is a mockumentary. Is that accurate? It doesn't fit a lot of the description in the Wikipedia article Mockumentary. However it is included in the Wikipedia List of mockumentaries.

The show does feature characters addressing the audience to comment on events recently depicted. This creates great comic situations, and is vaguely documentary-like and also vaguely like breaking the fourth wall.

So I wonder if it might be better to discuss in another place to what extent this shows draws on mockumentary models. To flat-out state that it is one in the very first sentence of the intro seems to imply that mockumentary-ness is one of the show's most defining characteristics, which hardly seems to be the case. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paugus (talkcontribs) 16:30, 13 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

"The show does feature characters addressing the audience to comment on events recently depicted." - This is the defining characteristic of a mockumentary. It is definitely a mockumentary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C5:B902:9301:6C45:42B7:4801:A5D0 (talk) 13:33, 3 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

"..., they adopt another child, a baby boy named Rexford. As the name suggests, this family represents a modern-day family,..." This reads as if "Rexford" suggests ..., but I think the sentence is trying to say that the name of the show does so. If it is the former, then it needs clarification; if it is the latter, then the sentence needs changing in placement or content. Kdammers (talk) 03:03, 7 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
