It’s been eight wonderful years of laughs and cries while watching one of our favourite shows, Modern Family.
Since the comedy series aired in 2009, we’ve seen huge changes in the Dunphys and Pritchetts (little Lily isn’t a baby anymore – she’s now 10 years old!).
But while the ninth season just premiered last month in the US, Australian fans won’t be seeing much of it anymore. After failed negotiations with Fox, Network Ten has pulled the show off free-to-air TV, along with The Simpsons and This Is Us.
So while we can’t see what clumsy move Phil Dunphy pulls next, we hope this gallery can tide you over. Take a peek at what the original cast looked like eight years compared to now.

Jesse’s on-screen husband is played by Eric Stonestreet, AKA Cameron Tucker.
