Modern Family not a roaring ratings success? (In New-Zealand)
TV’s hottest new comedy, Modern Family, debuted last night on TV3 with only 4.4% of Kiwis tuning in (11.4% share). In the coveted 18-49 demographic, Modern Family grabbed just 6.3% and a 17.9% share. Sunday and the movie Enchanted took in the bulk of viewers.
So why the low numbers? Could viewer downloads be linked to the low ratings, or was this type of rating always to be expected on a Sunday night slot on TV3?
Come on New-Zealand, you can do better!

“Glee” Tops Golden Globes
2 new kids to the class “Glee” and “Modern Family” were the most talked about shows in the Best Series: Comedy or Musical category. It was slightly uncommon to see 2 brand new shows midway into their first season nominated but the strength of both shows were undeniable.
“Glee” had indeed won the award and an ecstatic cast led by their captain Ryan Murphy received the award with class and gratefulness.
Congrats to Glee and good luck to Modern Family next time.

Fox Drops the ‘American Idol’ Bomb on ‘Modern Family’
Fox has decided to aim a missile directly at heart of ABC’s young comedy hit “Modern Family.”
The network Friday confirmed that it will move new drama “Human Target” from its originally announced 9 p.m. Wednesday time slot to 8 p.m. Wednesdays. Its replacement: The “American Idol” results show, which had been set to air at 8 p.m. Wednesdays.
The shift could make it tougher for “Modern Family” — which is produced by Fox sibling 20th Century Fox TV– to gain momentum in the winter. The same is true for ABC’s “Cougar Town”.
Idol vs. Modern Family – who will win?
Good thing we have a DVR.

Golden Globes – It’s Glee Vs. Modern Family
Historically, the Globes love picking the new kid on the block—America Ferrera, Jon Hamm, Mad Men—but this year that decision will be harder than usual since both new kids are in the same category. Glee and Modern Family have been the two most-revered new series of the fall and both scored nominations for Best Comedy Series. Which will wind up winning?

Jay and Gloria’s House from “Modern Family”
I am not a stalker found Jay and Gloria’s house filming location. Here is some information that they found:
Jay and Gloria’s ultra-unique home is MUCH bigger in person than it appears to be on Modern Family. For some reason, the establishing shots shown on the series only feature one angle of the residence. In reality, though, the home has a whole other half which has never appeared on TV. The house is so massive, in fact, that I couldn’t get all of if to fit in my camera lens, but you can sort of get an idea of its true size in the above photograph. According to Zillow, the residence boasts five bedrooms, six bathrooms, and a whopping 6,359 square feet!

Sarah Hyland: The Worst Commercial Ever
Girl2Watch, the site that connects Actresses and Entertainment in Social Media has chosen Sarah Hyland as this week’s Girl2Watch!
Here is what Sarah thinks is her worst commercial Ever:
I did this PSA where I was a soccer player, and my friend makes the winning goal and then she’s blown up by a land mine. It never made television because they ran it on the internet first to see what people thought, and it was way too disturbing to put on television. In the audition there wasn’t many lines, but they started having me do different types of screams. So you would literally have to stand there and have to pretend to watch something and go,“Woo yeah, she just made a goal” and you would be jumping up and down and screaming. And then they’re like, “We say ‘Boom!’and then you start screaming and start crying and stuff like that.” And this is like a commercial audition. Usually for commercials you’re like, “5 dollar foot long” and stuff like that. I thought it was just going to be like some regular audition, and I go and end up having to start screaming and acting like someone was just blow up in front of me, and it was my best friend.

Modern Family – One of the Top 10 TV series of the decade
Barry Garron from Reuters selected Modern Family as one of the top 10 TV series of the decade:
Every decade has its landmark TV shows, and there will or should never be complete agreement on which 10 series belong at the top of the list.
10. MODERN FAMILY
* ABC, 2009-present
It’s a little risky to pick a new show as one of the best of the decade, even after seeing about a dozen episodes. In the case of “Modern Family,” the risk is minimized by the track record of its creators, Steven Levitan and Christopher Lloyd. At a time when most new shows are just finding themselves, this one has been so consistently funny, smartly produced and crisply written that it has all the earmarks of a classic in the making.
