We liked this blog post from NE Patriots Draft talking about how they would cast the show using figures from the world of sports. Here are some examples:

Manny (Usain Bolt)
The most dominant man in sports (untouchable in the 100m) with the most dominant character on TV today. I would pay $12 to watch these two race. Right now.

Mitchell (Brian Scalabrine), Cam (Jon Asamoah)
I can’t look at Mitchell without seeing Brian Scalabrine for some reason, while Jon Asamoah is the only University of Illinois offensive lineman that I can think of. Evidently, Cam was quite the blocker.

There’s a rumor buzzing around the Internet that Delta Burke will guest on ‘Modern Family’ as Cameron’s mother. TV Guide had something in the print edition, but the real culprit behind the tale is actor Eric Stonestreet who plays Cam. He said he would love Delta Burke to play his mama … and it’s a great idea.

Would you want to see Delta Burke as Cam’s mother or do you have better suggestions?

Julie Bowen, Modern Family – The 10 Funniest Women in Primetime

Julie Bowen, from Modern Family, was selected #9 in Movie Line’s “The 10 Funniest Women in Primetime”:

9. Julie Bowen, Modern Family
While Sofia Vergara plays the more traditionally kooky Gloria, Bowen scintillates as Claire Dunphy, the un-whimsical wife and mother in Modern Family’s nuclear unit. While her husband Phil Dunphy (Ty Burrell) wins more laughs, Claire’s self-doubt ends up producing the series’ most unexpected laugh-out-loud moments. Quoth Mrs. Dunphy: “You know how growing up we all had that voice inside our head that tells us we’re not good enough? Well, mine was outside my head driving me to school.”

Modern Family: Truth Be Told

March 12, 2010 by · 2 Comments
Filed under: Episodes, Quotes, reviews, Season 1 Episodes 

If you have read my reviews…which I hope a few actually have…you will see that I like to break them up between families.

The Dunphys are encounter problems in the house when Phil decides to meet his ex-girl friend over to the house after she reconnected with him via Facebook. The laughs started whenPhil says that he dated other women besides mom.

Haley: “Oh my God, gross, I can’t even picture you with a woman.”
Claire: “Thank you.”

Phil: “Trust me, I had plenty of fun in my time. Then, I met your mom.”

Claire is obviously liking the idea of Phil meeting up with Denise for a bite to eat.

Claire: “Women in their 30s on the internet are like ninjas. They get in their little, black outfits and try to sneak their way into your marriage.”

Phil can see that so he invites her over to the house instead for drinks.

Alex and Luke are toying with each other throughout the episode. To get back for Luke earlier in the episode, Alex says that Luke was adopted and that the real reason Jay’s ex-girlfriend is coming over so he can meet his real mom. Luke leaves confused and Haley asks.

Haley: “Just because he called you a dork-to-dork salesman?”

Alex: “The empire strikes back.”

Once Denise arrives to the house she lays on the heavy advances toward Phil. When asking for directions to the bathroom out of earshot from Claire she asks.

Denise: “How are we going to do this?”

Phil: “I thought I’d just point at the door…,”

Denise: “Here’s a key to my hotel room.”

Denise then shoves the key card into his hand and leaves. Phil is left speechless and confused, classic Phil.

Claire doesn’t see the advances Denise is making on Phil. Alone in the kitchen Phil talks to Claire saying she wasn’t completely wrong.

Phil: “She wants me,”

Claire: “To do what?”

Phil: “It!  ME!” “She bit the air right in front of me!”

Claire thinks he is crazy and leaves the room. Denise eventually gets frustrated that her advances, etc. aren’t working on Phil and leaves the house.

Jay comes into the house holding a inspirational framed poster that says “What doesn’t kill us, makes us stronger.” But Manny disagrees.

Manny: “Lots of stuff that doesn’t kill you makes you weaker.”

Jay tries to hang the frame with the saying in Manny’s room but it ends up falling into the Shel Turtlesteins tank killing him. He tries to cover up what really happened saying that a raccoon broke into the house and killed the turtle. Manny leaves his room heartbroken after identifying the body. Gloria realizing something is up confronts Jay.

Gloria: “You lie. I’m Columbian, I know a fake crime scene when I see one.”

Gloria says that he has to come clean and tell Manny what happened but Jay disagrees.

Jay: “It was an accident, I’ve been through this before. When Mitchell was nine, I was supposed to take care of his bird. It got out and flew into a fan. It was like a bloody pillow fight.”

He continues, “To this day, Mitchell looks at me, I see him thinking ‘that’s the guy who killed Flyza Minnelli.”

Gloria says that he will find out and Jay contends he won’t because he covered his tracks. When realizing the name of the bird Jay wonders how he didn’t realize that his son was gay.

Later that night when going to bed Gloria is still upset that Jay hasn’t said anything to Manny.

Gloria: “Hard to sleep on a bed of lies, huh, Jay?”

Jay finally gives up and approaches Manny in his room. Manny is already waiting for him and knows that Jay wasn’t telling truth. Manny is confused why he lied but Jay says it’s because they have a good thing going between them and didn’t want to mess it up.

A life change happens to Cameron and Mitchell when Mitchell realizes that he has been missing too much family time because of all the work his boss is asking him to do.

Mitchell: “He’s the suckiest suck of all time.”

One of the scenes that made me laugh the most was when Mitchell and Cameron were trying to reenact to see if Mitchell’s boss overheard him on the phone in the car next to him.

Mitchell: “I sort of had to shout.”

Cameron: “You had to what?”

Mitchell: “Shout,”

Cameron: “A little bit louder now,”

Mitchell: “Shout.”

Cameron: “A little bit louder now.”

Mitchell: “Shout!!”

Cameron: “Hey-hey-ay-ee-ay-ee!” – Cameron singing

Mitchell realizes that Cameron can hear him and thinks that he is screwed with his boss.

Mitchell confronts his boss at work that day and tells him can’t work there anymore because he is missing too much time at home. After he arrives home and tells Cameron that he quit is job he is excited they can experience Lily and her “firsts.” After they watch her intently and she doesn’t do anything interesting Mitchell starts to panic thinking he will try and get his job back.

Mitchell: “I am going to do what I am trained to do. I am going to lie, grovel, debase myself until I get what I want. I am a lawyer, damn it.”

Cameron helps to calm him down and says they will be ok and figure something out.

Of course FOX easily won another Wednesday night  as American Idol cruised at 9pm.  Still  with a 7.5 adults 18-49 rating, Idol was down 12% versus last Wednesday, but FOX notes Idol retained 96% of the adults 18-49 audience from the comparable night in 2009.

Even against Idol, ABC’s comedy block held up.  Modern Family was up 9% versus last week to a 3.7 adults 18-49 rating and with a 2.6 rating in adults 18-49, Cougar Town was up 13%.

Modern Family to Jump Space and Time à la Lost (or Maybe Just Go to Hawaii)

March 11, 2010 by · 2 Comments
Filed under: Modern Family News 

The Modern Family cast is in Hawaii right this second, filming their big “family vacation” episode.

E-Online just met up with the whole Modern Family cast and creator, and you aren’t going to believe this:

“What we’re trying to do is plant several modern families in several different times and then jump all around,” executive producer Steve Levitan told me. “And then we have a fully underwater episode, too. We’re really gonna embrace it. Why not?”

Clearly, he’s kidding. But so great that he’s a Lost fan! Levitan, who tweeted that this picture was “a good Hawaiian omen for our first day of shooting,” also fesses up his real motivations for taking the cast to Hawaii. “We’re just gonna try to just live up to the Brady Bunch Hawaii episode. It’s not a ratings ploy. Frankly, I’m tired and wanted to go to Hawaii.”

If you’re ever tempted to re-connect with an old lover on Facebook, just take a hint from Phil’s ex-girlfriend on ‘Modern Family’. She thinks his updates like “How was your day?” and “My neck is so sore” are an invitation to get back together.
Did this ever happen to you?
