Modern Society

Modern Society is an Mantralian comedy-drama television series created by Robert Jamison for NBT. The series depicts the everyday lives of the dysfunctional lower middle class Yorkham family—consisting of father Francis (Bruce Lyndon) and children Louise (Evelyn Marquez), Bailey (Steven France), Erica (Diane Bordeira), and Justin (Cameron Peterson)—who live at the fictional River Palm Apartments in Cayetano, Cordia.

The series was developed by Jamison, David Yeager, and Perry Gregor; Jamison and (in later seasons) Yeager were the show's executive producers. Filming took place both on set and on location in Sarasota, Kentona. Modern Society was produced by Jamison's Video Park Films in association with NBT Studios.

The show was broadcast on NBT from March 13, 2003 to November 24, 2011, running for nine seasons and 204 episodes. It received positive reception from both critics and general viewers, who praised it for its acting, continuity, emotional weight, and realistic portrayal of lower middle class life. It won two MFTA Awards, five Krypton Awards, seven Sammy Awards, and eight Velvet Awards, and was met with various other nominations.
