What Emmy Should ‘Modern Family’ Stars Win?
Challenging Emmy question for “Modern Family” – who will be submitted as a lead actor and who will compete for supporting:
With the April 30 deadline approaching, sources say four separate scenarios are being mulled: either all six adult regulars (Julie Bowen, Ty Burrell, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Ed O’Neill, Sofia Vergara and Eric Stonestreet) will compete as leads; all will go supporting; everyone will go supporting except O’Neill, who, as the only major pre-”Family” star, could separate himself as lead; or Ty Burrell and Julie Bowen, as the show’s “traditional” parents, will go lead and the rest supporting.
What would you do?

Modern Family is the best sitcom on TV
True Slant has a review of Modern Family, here are the highlights:
When the commercials first urged me to watch ABC’s rookie sitcom Modern Family, my approximate reaction was “I’d rather die.” It just looked so, well, lame. Another stupid family sitcom about stupid family situations, now “freshly” updated to include the terribly cutting edge notion of gay people and minorities. If it was 1992, perhaps I’d be intrigued. But it’s not, so…yeah. However, a funny thing happened on the way to the snark forum…I watched an episode. I must’ve been sick, or drunk, or sick and drunk, but somehow Modern Family wound up on my TV screen. And it was pretty good. I kept watching, and it progressed. Now, eighteen episodes later, Modern Family is the best thirty minutes on television.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Manny Delgado. He’s Frasier meets Don Juan, except twelve and Colombian. I never thought a recipe as old “precocious pre-teen” could yield good results – but trust me, Manny is aces.

‘Idol,’ ‘Modern Family’ lead Wednesday
- Image via Wikipedia
Fox dominated a mostly low-key holiday-week Wednesday behind “American Idol” and rookie drama “Human Target,” which was on the rise, while ABC’s “Modern Family” continues to hold up nicely opposite the music megahit.
ABC, which edged NBC for second place on the night, was paced as usual by “Modern Family” (3.8/11 in 18-49, 9.3 million viewers overall), which was up week to week and pulled to within 5 shares of “Idol” for the 9 o’clock lead in 18-49 and to within 3 shares in adults 18-34. “Modern” doubled its lead-in from “The Middle” (1.9/6 in 18-49, 6.2 million viewers overall), which was lower than usual and seemed to be affected by its special lead-in from “It’s the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown” (1.4/5 in 18-49, 4.9 million viewers overall).

Actors who give major zing to minor roles
The Detroit News selected six actors who give major zing to minor roles, one of them was Modern Family’s Rico Rodriguez :
‘Modern Family’
(9 p.m. Wednesdays, ABC)
Character: Manny Delgado
Actor: Rico Rodriguez
Catch phrase or signature: No catch phrase but his droll delivery is undeniable.
How he steals the show: Wise beyond his years, Manny quotes William Shakespeare and plans love affairs with older women. At 11, Rodriguez was a relative unknown before this freshman comedy debuted; now he’s one of the most beloved kids on TV.

TV Ratings: Modern Family Rebounds
- Image via Wikipedia
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%.
