Top TV Loving Couples On Valentine’s Day
Happy Valentine’s day!
Rob Salem has ranked the TV top 25 loving couples, and the number one couple is Cameron and Mitchell from Modern Family (although some of you complained to our Twitter @modernfamilytv – they haven’t kissed on screen yet… ABC – we are waiting):
Of the three married couples depicted in the family-friendly domestic comedy, the Mutt-and-Jeff gay mates are the most popular with kids.
“I think it’s a Bert and Ernie thing,” suggests Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who plays the somewhat straitlaced lawyer, Mitch.
“I just like that they’re being handled as a regular couple. It’s not that they’re gay, that’s farther down on the list … but, you know, they’re new parents, they’re partners …
“I’ve been on a show where they, like, had to refer to me as the `gay’ character five times, just to remind people. And I’m like, `They get it, they get it.’ But with this, I think it’s just Cameron and Mitchell, and that’s what I really love about it. I think that itself unfortunately is unique …”
“It’s slowly getting less unique,” offers Eric Stonestreet, a.k.a. the “drama queen” Cam. “Just a couple of guys who live together who adopted a baby … it’s an opportunity to sort of, not educate, you know, but just open peoples’ minds to the idea that families come in all different shapes and sizes.”

The Bert and Ernie, “we're just couple of guys who live together and adopted a baby” thing is a complete cop-out and offensive. If Mitch and Cam are just two guys who live together and have a baby why did it matter a few episodes ago when Cam was not introduced as his father?
No one is saying that Modern Family needs to educate. It would be nice to see the gay couple treated the same way as the other two. Basically, it's completely okay to show that they're gay because they're dressing their baby up in old feather boas, but not by them showing any affection for each other?
If Mitch and Cam are truly going to be treating as Bert and Ernie, and if the actors portraying them see the couple as just two guys living together, I'm done with Modern Family.
That first part was supposed to read “If Mitch and Cam are just two guys who live together and have a baby why did it matter a few episodes ago when Cam was not introduced as Mitch's partner to his father's friends? “
