"Modern Family" premiered in 2009 as an instant hit, and it has picked up Comedy Series nods at every Emmy Awards from 2010 to 2017, winning the top award in its first five years. The stars, writers, and directors have also picked up Emmys over the years. No complaints for the first few years, but now some TV watchers think the show has gotten tired -- not necessarily bad, but not up to its former standard, and no longer worth of an Outstanding Comedy Series nod when there are more fresh series to recognize.

Emmys: I seriously do not understand how Modern Family still gets nominated as best comedy. It's time has passed. Where is Insecure?

No one even watches Modern Family anymore. This is not 2010. #Insecure don't need y'all validation anyway. #Emmys

Some mysteries will never be solved, like the Bermuda Triangle or why Modern Family still gets Emmy nods when it's long past its use-by date

Seeing the Emmy nominations each year is generally how I find out that Modern Family is still on the air

Look, I know we have bigger fish to fry, but my grudge is long: WHY IS MEDIOCRE, I MEAN, MODERN FAMILY STILL BEING NOMINATED FOR THE EMMY'S?

have a good day everyone except anyone who thinks Modern Family deserved an Emmy nomination

Rami Malek should have been nominated for an Emmy as well as Mr Robot the fact alone that Modern Family got noms is a gross misjustice http://pic.twitter.com/dOOLRYFJXQ

But that's not a universal standpoint, since the show is still popular, and the stars are certainly grateful for another Emmy honor:
WHAT?! @ModernFam has been nominated for @TheEmmys for the 8th time in a row! Humbled and honored to be a part of it all 😍
