i honestly love the style of this show so much. the way modern family is styled, we get little glimpses into the characters minds. like jay will do or say (just stating this as an example, not expliciting calling him out) something in an episode and you may think "wow, he's kind of an ass" but then his "talking head" as it's called, reveals his true feelings and emotions. i like it so much more than "camera crew follows them around but there's no interactions" this way it feels like there's a purpose and reason for there to be a camera, and we get more insight this way into the characters motivations and emotions. it's a very good device for a sitcom.

2022-04-02 17:09:04 +0000 UTCJust because Brian likes to learn new things, I'll chime in that the idea of "breaking the fourth wall" comes from theater performed on a traditional proscenium stage where the audience is in rows facing an elevated stage. There are three literal walls to that kind of stage and the "fourth wall" is the one between the actors and the audience. So, if a play calls for an actor to turn and address the audience directly, they are "breaking the fourth wall." Consequently, the term transferred into movies and television to mean when an actor addresses the camera directly.

2022-04-01 04:58:00 +0000 UTCI may have said this for the pilot too. Apologies if I'm duplicating myself: The basic answer to the "interview" or "breaking the fourth wall" scenes is -- don't worry about it. There is no "interviewer," nothing will ever be revealed, I'm not spoiling anything. Just think of it as part of the framework of the show, just as with Parks & Recreation, which also never explained characters talking to the camera. It's just a modern convention that some series use, a way of getting set-ups (or "exposition") out of the way quickly, so that we can have more story, and more jokes. In the case of Modern Family, if you're really curious, there is a little bit of a backstory. They originally imagined that there was a European documentary crew making a show called "My Modern Family," and the characters were talking to the director occasionally. But as it developed into the final writing and shooting, they decided that the documentary idea just got in the way, they eliminated any reference to it, and they changed the title to Modern Family -- all before it ever went on the air. But that's just additional trivia for the curious; the main answer is what I said before, there's no explanation, just go with it.
