‘Modern Family’ – Cameron (Eric Stonestreet)
One of the best surprises of “Modern Family” is Eric Stonestreet (see IMDb profile), who plays Cameron. The guy is so funny…
Eric just did an interview for Variety in which he said about himself: “I always say I’m the straight version of Cameron,” Stonestreet says. “I’m a little bit flamboyant myself and have a flair for the dramatic. Who says those are bad things? I think they have their place. Cameron doesn’t let moments pass. He is a celebrator of life and people.”
KansasCity ran an article about Eric, who is from Kansas. In the interview Eric said about the audition: “It was the audition every actor wanted, and I know they saw a tremendous number of people,” – we are so glad he got the part.
Here is a clip for you:

The Top Five Hits of the Fall TV Season
Newsweek calls “Modern Family” : “the funniest new comedy of the season”. Newsweek ranked the top 5 hits of the TV season and here they are:
No. 5: FlashForward (ABC)
No. 4: Modern Family (ABC)
No. 2 (Tie): Cougar Town (ABC) and NCIS: Los Angeles (CBS)
No. 1: The Cleveland Show
Here is their take on “Modern Family”:
Another winner from ABC built on an effective campaign, but this was a much easier sell than FlashForward, simply because it’s the funniest new comedy of the season. The early buzz and reviews for this family mockumentary were almost unanimously enthusiastic. All that was required was to get to viewers to wonder if the show could possibly be as funny as those persnickety critics were saying it was. Fortunately, it is just that funny. And given that the second episode packs more laughs than the pilot (a rarity), Modern Family has room to grow.

Modern Family Episode 2 Ratings are in
Zap2it reports the rating for Wednesday:
Wednesday night’s ratings were significantly cooler than during premiere week, with pretty much every new show and several returning ones falling from their premieres. ABC’s “Modern Family” and “Cougar Town” still posted solid demographic ratings, though, and CBS’ crime dramas led the network to an overall win for the night. One exception to the downward trend was “Glee,” which actually built its audience over last week.
9 p.m.
CBS: “Criminal Minds” (13.6 million, 8.6/14)
ABC: “Modern Family” (9.9 million, 6.0/10)/”Cougar Town” (9.1 million, 5.7/9)
NBC: “Law & Order: SVU” (7.9 million, 5.3/8)
FOX: “Glee” (7.3 million, 4.4/7)
The CW: “Melrose Place” rerun (1.1 million, 0.8/1)
18-49 leader: “Modern Family” (3.7) – Yeah!!!
Full ratings are in Zap2it

Modern Family’s Ty Burrell Talks with E!Online
E!Online has an interview with Ty Burrell, otherwise known as ultracool, hipster dad Phil on ABC’s new hit “Modern Family”.
Ty on Phil: “Phil is a dog who can talk. He’s this well-intentioned guy, superearnest. His tail is always wagging when anyone comes home as if he thought they were never going to come back. And yet at the same time, that tail is knocking crap off the tables, you know?”

“Cougar Town” and “Modern Family” registered as TV’s highest-rated non-spinoff comedy debuts in nearly 2 years
From ABC’s press release:
Wednesday:
ABC finished in a virtual tie with CBS for No. 1 on the opening Wednesday of the ’09-10 TV Season in Adults 18-49, pacing within one-tenth of a rating point and tied in audience share (3.5/10 vs. 3.6/10). In fact the openers of ABC’s “Cougar Town” and “Modern Family” registered as TV’s highest-rated non-spinoff comedy debuts in nearly 2 years in the key young adult sales demo – since 10/15/07.
Versus ABC’s Wednesday night roll-out last year (on 10/1/08), the Net was up by 4.7 million viewers (11.9 million vs. 7.2 million) and by 35% in Adults 18-49 (3.5/10 vs. 2.6/7). ABC generated its most-watched Wednesday night in 10 months – since 11/12/08.
“Dancing with the Stars Results” (8:00-9:00 p.m.)
On the third evening of its 3-night premiere event, ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars” dominated the 8 o’clock hour in Total Viewers (15.4 million) and Adults 18-49 (3.3/10), topping second-place Fox’s “So You Think You Can Dance” by 32% in the key sales demo (2.5/8). In a double-elimination, Macy Gray and Ashley Hamilton were the first two celebrity dancers to be eliminated from the contest this season.
“Modern Family” (9:00-9:30 p.m.)
Surging 27% from its Adult 18-49 lead-in at 9:00 p.m. and becoming the first-ever comedy to build on “DWTS,” the series premiere of “Modern Family” ranked No. 1 in its half-hour among Adults 18-49 (4.2/11-tie).
“Modern Family” greatly improved the half-hour year to year for ABC, pacing ahead of the “Private Practice” (3.2/8) opener last season by 31% in Adults 18-49.
