You'll never guess which actual modern family visited Modern Family's set

One of joys of TV shows that feature kids are getting to see m grow up and tackle various sts of development both on- and off- screen. We witnessed this happening with Full House over two decades ago; Home Improvement towards end of Nineties; Two And A Half Men in ughties, and we're also getting to see it, albeit on a completely different level, in ongoing Game of Thrones.

Perhaps most famous show sporting kids at this point in time are Modern Family, which has been on air for eight seasons w. documentary sitcom had four kids on its cast, to begin with, namely, Haley, Alex, Luke, and Manny, and has w amped up that number to six, adding Lily and Joe. 

One of issues that immediately confronts writers as a show starring kids progresses is how to deal with m doing things such as graduating high school, going to college, getting into relationships and getting married.

On Modern Family, both Haley and Alex's runs in college were conveniently disrupted on account of getting kicked out and illness respectively. body's got married as yet, though re have been close calls. And w, with ninth and likely penultimate season coming, show's makers will likely have to deal with some of or kids also 'coming of '.

Lucky for m, show has had a proper modern family come to visit set and hopefully advise on what to do going forward. And which was this modern family?

Here's a couple of hints -

• dad, while t quite as ridiculous as Phil Dunphy, can do some ridiculous things with a football.
• mom is a star singer who put her career on sidelines to raise her kids
• oldest of family's children is named after a suburb in New York
• second son is named after greatest male romantic of all time. And we're t talking about Pepé Le Pew
• third son's name is Cruz
• youngest child, a daughter, is named after author of To Kill a Mockingbird and her dad's favourite jersey number

We're sure you've got it by w.
