Modern Family

Original ensemble sitcom with no established characters to swap.

Several male characters (Phil, Cameron, Jay) are written as bumbling for comedy, but it's standard sitcom buffoonery applied to everyone, not a 'men are the problem' message.

• Phil Dunphy as the well-meaning goofball dad
• Jay portrayed as out-of-touch at times

Mitchell and Cameron are a central gay couple whose relationship, marriage, and adoption of their daughter Lily are core to the show.

• Mitch and Cam are one of the three lead family units
• Their wedding episode
• Adopting and raising daughter Lily
• Storylines about coming out and acceptance

Diverse cast including a Colombian immigrant character (Gloria) fits the show's premise of a modern blended family naturally.

• Gloria, a Colombian wife to Jay
• Lily, an adopted Vietnamese daughter

Occasional acceptance and tolerance themes around the gay couple, but generally folded into comedy rather than sermonizing.

• Episodes addressing reactions to Mitch and Cam's relationship
• Mockumentary asides about acceptance

Mostly gentle comedic ribbing of dad-types rather than framing masculinity as toxic.
