Modern Family Doing Well In Australia
Australia’s Ten’s new comedy Modern Family last night held its ratings share after the airing of its second episode, while Nine narrowly won the night with solid results for Top Gear, its evening news and a repeat of Two and a Half Men.
However, Nine’s double episode of Survivor, which included the finale of the show, failed to make the top ten in overall free-to-air TV viewing.
Modern Family was the third most-watched show for the night with 1.548m tuning in – little change from Tuesday’s ratings.
Tuesday’s most-watched shows:
Masterchef Ten 1.644m
Seven News Seven 1.613m
Modern Family Ten 1.548m

Modern Family High Ratings – Again
“Modern Family” (9:00-9:30 p.m.)
Against “Idol” and the start of the NBA Conference Finals Game at 9:00 p.m., ABC’s “Modern Family” first-season finale built sharply on its lead-in (+2.5 million viewers/+68% in AD18-49) to once again finish as the definitive No. 1 scripted show in its time slot in Adults 18-49, pacing 27% ahead of CBS’ “Criminal Minds” (4.2/12 vs. 3.3/9). In fact, the hit ABC comedy qualified as Wednesday’s No. 1 scripted TV program for its 12th consecutive original telecast in the key young adult sales demo. Also worth noting, for the 2nd week in a row against “Idol,” “Modern Family” registered as the No. 1 show in its time period with Men 18-34 (2.9/10-tie).
Essentially matching its record-setting young adult number from the prior week, “Modern Family” generated the series’ second-largest audience (10.1 million) since January (slightly behind only last week, best since 1/6/10) and posted its second-highest-ever rating among Adults 18-49 (pacing within one-tenth of a rating point of the prior week’s series-best).

‘Modern Family’ Finale
The Dunphy-Pritchett clan returned from their Hawaiian adventure last night, ready to wrap up the end of an impeccable first season with a family portrait. Not surprisingly, what should be a simple picture becomes a much more complicated ordeal for our favorite borderline-OCD Claire. She attempts to wrangle the whole family together, only to encounter one mishap after the next—the perpetually broken step, Phil’s ill-fitting white pants, a brother afraid of a pigeon, and a husband who kisses her young stepmother. Modern Family went out with a bang but didn’t forget to leave us with some lessons to mull over:
There’s nothing wrong with bringing your own snacks. Sneaking some sodas into your bag into the movie theaters is one thing, but Phil takes it to another level, demonstrating that smuggling treats into a sports event can be an art.

Stonestreet: Modern Family Facebook Gay-Kiss Campaign Is ‘Wasted Energy’
Stonestreet, who called the Facebook group “wasted energy,” also added: “We’re a show that obviously is forward- and progressive-thinking,” the star told us. “To adopt a baby on prime-time television is way more taboo than a kiss, and obviously Mitchell and Cameron are going to experience everything in their relationship. Unfortunately, I’ve been tweeted and sent messages saying that because I’m straight, I don’t get to have an opinion on that, which really disappoints me. I play the character and I think I get to have an opinion on it.”

Modern Family’s Julie Bowen Celebrates Twins’ 1st Birthday
Actress Julie Bowen had her hands full of children last Friday at The Coop in Studio City, Calif, where she threw a birthday bash for 1-year-old twins Johnny and Gus.
The party was organized to raise money and supplies for Baby2Baby, a charity founded in 2006 by Marnie Owens, Lee Michel and Karis Jagger (Mick Jagger’s daughter) that donates gently used baby items to families in need.
Bowen, 39, has been involved with Baby2Baby since the birth of her oldest son, Oliver, 3.
“Honestly, [the twins] have more than enough stuff and there are so many families in Los Angeles that don’t even have the bare necessities,” the Modern Family star tells UsMagazine.com. “So if I can take two over-privileged kids’ birthdays and use it as an opportunity to get other kids the stuff they need, I’m overjoyed to do that.”

Modern Family’s Hawaiian Vacation
This week’s Modern Family found the whole crew in the island paradise of Hawaii for Jay’s 63rd birthday celebration. While last week’s episode revealed Jay’s hesitations about his entire family infiltrating his relaxing vacation with Gloria, we see now that the one struggling to relax is Jay himself. After being reminded by his brother that their father passed away at this particular birthday milestone, he ditches the cheeseburgers and throws himself into an endless string of physical activities in an attempt to reverse a lifetime of bad choices.

Kobe Bryant’s cameo appearance on ‘Modern Family’ to air on May 19
Lakers guard Kobe Bryant took a simple approach when he made a cameo appearance in ABC’s“Modern Family” following a Lakers home game. Let’s just say he didn’t obsess over the script as much as he does game film.
“I’m winging it. They just told me to be myself,” Bryant said in March. “So I’m just going to be a smart.”
Well, the approach paid off. His appearance made the cut for “Modern Family’s” season finale, which will air May 19 at 9 p.m. Though Lakers forward Pau Gasol also was filmed, his appearance didn’t make the final cut, ABC representative Yani Chang said by e-mail.
