Modern Family's Jesse Tyler Ferguson on the Upcoming Story Line That Moved Him to Tears

9 December 2009 11:20 AM, PST | Movieline | See recent Movieline news »

Jesse Tyler Ferguson almost missed out on Modern Family, ABC's breakout mockumentary that is already being heralded by the Hollywood Reporter as one of the best series of the decade. Recovering from his experience on the critically savaged and quickly canceled Do Not Disturb, Ferguson told his managers that he was finished with television and moved to New York last year to headline the Broadway musical based on Elf. Fortunately for Ferguson, his managers soft-sold him Modern Family, which the actor read five times over and fell in love with. Now, Ferguson can be seen on Wednesday nights as Mitchell Pritchett, the hilariously straight-laced former figure skater who has since settled down with his flamboyant partner -- the hilarious Eric Stonestreet -- and their adopted Vietnamese daughter.

Last week, Movieline caught up with Ferguson to discuss his brush with Adam Lambert, the truth behind that Julie Bowen-Sofia Vergara »

New TV Shows To Be Thankful for In 2009! ABC Brings Us 4 New Shows We Love But Fox’s Glee Takes Top Spot!

29 November 2009 5:34 PM, PST | FusedFilm | See recent FusedFilm news »

Well ABC seemed to be out in the lead for having the most shows we were thankful for in 2009 with 4 of their new shows making our list. In second place was the USA channel with 2, while Syfy, Fox, HBO and NBC all had 1 on the list as well. I was surprised that CBS didn’t make our list but with so many already good shows previous to 2009 they didn’t have to add a lot to their programming schedule. Glee got our top spot while Flashforward barely made the list.

1. Glee

Couldn’t think of any other show to go here than this one. A complete surprise this musical dramedy series from of all people, Ryan Murphy, the guy who brought us Nip/Tuck. This series is a massive 180 from his repetoire but thats okay because we love it. Everything from the weekly musical selections, to the talented group of »

Boos! & Whoop-doos!: 2nd Annual Giving of Thanks Spectacular!

25 November 2009 5:30 AM, PST | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

2nd Annual Happy Giving of Thanks? Whoop-doo!

In this business, people are too often found shitting all over their eagerly anticipated big budget releases. They never take the time to step back and say, "Wow! You made my day worthwhile, Mr. Entertainment Maker." We, as a critical community would rather bark obscenities than take a moment to say, "Thanks!" And truly mean it! So, in light of our biggest and best buffet holiday, The Whoop-Doo Nation would like to give a few very thankful shout-outs before presenting Spooker Washington's annual Happy Giving of Thanks Special, which we hope becomes an institution as revered as Peanuts: A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. Here we go:

Thank-doo, V! For not completely sucking.

Thank-doo, Ed O'Neill! For coming back and proving why you're still The Man!

Thank-doo, Bobcat Goldthwait! For proving that a director can still make a hilariously dark drama full of fresh ideas. »

Shakira Could Play a Part in 'Modern Family'

23 November 2009 8:34 PM, PST | Celebrity Mania | See recent Celebrity Mania news »

"Ugly Betty" may not be the only television show where Shakira showcases her acting chop as she is wanted to take part in ABC's other TV series, "Modern Family". Giving the low-down on the intention to get the Columbian singer for the comedy series was the Gloria Delgado-Pritchett depicter, Sofia Vergara.

Talking to Marc Malkin of E! Online at 2009 American Music Awards on Sunday, November 22, the 37-year-old actress confessed, "I'm trying to convince her to act. Hopefully, she'll say yes." When E! suggested that the "She Wolf" singer should play her sister on the show, she responded, "Why not! We'll write a character especially for her if she wants to do it."

"Modern Family" is mockumentary comedy TV series which was premiered on ABC on September 23. Created by Christopher Lloyd and Steven Levitan, it revolves around the families of Jay Pritchett, his daughter Claire Dunphy, and his son Mitchell Pritchett. »

4 Sneak Peeks – Modern Family 1.09 "Fizbo"

19 November 2009 4:36 PM, PST | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »

Did we all enjoy last night's episode of Modern Family with Elizabeth Banks and Edward Norton?  I thought Banks was in fine form with her anti-Lily digs.  A few days ago I posted promo photos for next week's new episode of Modern Family (November 25th) and now ABC has generously released 4 sneak peeks for the episode.  View them below.

Luke Gets The Ultimate Birthday Party And Everyone Has A Say Except For Maybe Luke, On ABC's "Modern Family"

"Fizbo" – Nothing is too big when Phil and Claire decide to throw Luke the biggest and best birthday party a boy could ever want. But when Cameron shows up as Fizbo, the Clown, it sets of a chain of events that ends with someone in the hospital, on "Modern Family," Wednesday, November 25 (9:00-9:30 p.m., Et), on the ABC Television Network.

Promo Photos & Synopsis – Modern Family 1.09 "Fizbo"

17 November 2009 10:27 AM, PST | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »

After a week's hiatus, Modern Family is back tomorrow night (on November 18th) with a new episode.  Elizabeth Banks and Edward Norton will both be making appearances (Banks in particular is very amusing).  Check out the sneak peeks & photos we posted a while ago.

ABC has now released promo photos and a synopsis for the November 25th episode (be careful, the photos are a bit spoilery, especially if you don't want to know who ends up in the hospital).  You know what freaks me out about the pictures below?  The clown.  I hate clowns.  This stems from that time I was watching Stephen King's 'It' on TV as a kid and my father ran upstairs and scared the crap out of me because he put on this old clown costume he used to wear for birthday parties when we were younger.  Did your fathers ever delight in your torment as mine did? »

Modern Family actress Sofia Vergara has said that her accent is real.

Buzz Break: V For Volume

4 November 2009 12:40 PM, PST | Movieline | See recent Movieline news »

· Here's Natalie Portman poking out of the letter with which she's best associated. (Just ask Zach Galifianakis.) Inside, she explains that famous no-nudity clause: "I'm not opposed to sexuality or nudity in a film, but I'm very opposed to pornography sites and you're pretty much giving them material if you do any of that." Take that, meat-eating internet-porn-trawling rapists!

· Kristen Stewart says her nickname for Robert Pattinson is Flippy, because he is severely unathletic: "He can barely jump rope...and god, when he tries to run!" At that point Taylor Lautner did a running hand spring into the interview, stuck the landing, flexed his abs and asked if anyone wanted a bite of his Met-Rx bar.

· Sofia Vergara, the actress who plays Ed O'Neill's Colombian hot tamale of a wife on Modern Family, often gets accused of having created a crass Latina stereotype. Newsflash: that's her actual voice.

Chazz Palminteri to play golf... on Modern Family

26 October 2009 1:03 PM, PDT | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »

One of my favorite character actors will be guesting on an upcoming episode of Modern Family, Chazz Palminteri. And for a change of pace, Chazz will not be toting a gun. Instead he'll be swinging a golf club, and unless the sitcom takes a radically wicked turn, I don't think Chazz will be taking swings at Ed O'Neill's head.

On the other hand, things can get pretty intense on the links. In the episode, Chazz is golfing with Ed's character, Jay, and somehow the relationship between Cameron and Mitchell comes into play and there's a big gay understanding... or is that a misunderstanding?
