Modern Family was acclaimed during its run for its humor and portrayal of gay relationships, and it was credited with a resurgence in network sitcoms after its debut.[5][6][7][8] The show won twenty-two Primetime Emmy Awards from eighty-five nominations, including Outstanding Comedy Series five consecutive times from 2010 to 2014, tied with Frasier for most wins in the category.[9] It also won four Producers Guild of America Awards for Outstanding Producer of Episodic Television, Comedy and two GLAAD Media Awards for Outstanding Comedy Series. From critics' organizations, the show received the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy, the inaugural Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Comedy Series, and two TCA Awards for Outstanding Achievement in Comedy. Modern Family was named one of the top television programs of the year four times by the American Film Institute and received a Peabody Award in 2010.
O'Neill, Vergara, Bowen, Burrell, Ferguson, and Stonestreet were each nominated for multiple Emmys for their performances.
