Modern Family - MOR Mockumentary

There is an old genre in rock, called Middle Of the Road (MOR). This genre could also be applied on TV series MOR, for being a bit too careful to really stand out. Compare MF to any HBO series, and the problem is probably too many sponsors are having a say on the end product. Even though MF touches on controversial subjects lika gay adoption, everything comes out a bit bland. Maybe MF is too much like its audience, suburban families in middle class neighborhoods: Cute and nice, but maybe a bit too boring for being in a mockumentary.
