After 250 episodes and 22 Emmys, ModernFamily ends with more ripped-from-home tales, emotional moments and a now spectacularly unsafe group hug, writes co-creator Christopher Lloyd

finale, there is a group hug so spectacularly COVID-unsafe that one 6-foot space is occupied by 16 different people. Ifwas always, unabashedly, about emotion. OK, why mince words in a postapocalyptic world: It was about love.

Having adopted this formula, we writers got to write from personal experience. Absurd moments from our lives begat episodes, but so did heartbreaking ones, even confusing ones. I caught my 16-year-old son in bed with a girl once, and it infuriated me, though I couldn’t quite identify why … until Phil caught Luke, and then discussed it with Claire. "That," my son said after watching the episode a year later, "explains a lot.

Our actors as much as our writers brought their own family experiences into the mix — Eric modeled Cam after his own mother, there’s a lot of Ty’s dad in Phil. It was 11 years of us exploring what family is, with a supreme esprit de corps, virtually everyone putting the show first and themselves second, and everyone equally reveling in the chord we seemed to strike with the audience.
