27. It's a Documentary
Why are the Dunphys and Pritchetts always talking to the camera? It is because Modern Family was initially conceived as a documentary shot by 'Geert Floorjte', a Dutch filmmaker who had lived with the Pritchetts years ago as a teenage exchange student and came back to the U.S. as an adult to film them. Geert got cut before Modern Family entered production because show creators Steve Levitan and Christopher Lloyd decided he was unnecessary.
