When it comes to kicking back and watching a little boob tube, it looks like the commander in chief and his brood are pretty much like the rest of us.

During an interview with People, President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, shared their viewing habits and revealed what shows are the first family's faves.

"For the girls and me, Modern Family, that's our favorite show," the leader of the free world says.

But he also admits that his taste in TV can sometimes be a bit on the "darker" side, adding that he's a fan of Boardwalk Empire and Homeland as well.

"Yes, we don't watch TV with him," his better half was quick to jokingly point out.

Which might explain why the president is not very familiar with another famous family.
