Modern Story

In Season 3, Jacob's other grandfather will be a main n on the show with a second wife and two children.

Creation
As creators Christopher Lloyd and Steven Levitan retold stories about their families, they realized that the stories could be the basis for a show. They started working on the idea of a family being observed in a mockumentary-style show. They later decided that it could be a show about a big family and their experiences. It was originally going to be called My Jaba Family. Lloyd prefers to look at the show as "a family show done documentary-style".
