Arnold wanted to be sure everyone remembered tonight’s premiere of Modern Family on WFAA Channel 8 tonight. Apparently it’s the gayest show of the season (that’s not a reality show or Cougartown) and also the funniest. The show sounds like the bizarro comedic alter ego of Brothers and Sisters but the gay characters here seem to run the show. The L.A. Times gave the new show some sweet props and describes the same-sex couple as…
…the sparkling centerpiece of the family is Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson), who, with his partner, Cameron (Eric Stonestreet), has just adopted a baby girl from Vietnam. High-strung by nature, Mitchell is suddenly torn by feeling they are too gay to raise a child — “We’ve got to stop having friends with names like Jacques,” he says — and furious at anyone who might possibly feel the same way. Cameron, meanwhile, is content to go more Zero Mostel, in word, deed and totally fabulous silk robe, creating a naturally occurring updated version of “The Odd Couple.” In the pilot, theirs are the funniest segments, particularly the introduction of the baby to the rest of the family, though Bowen and Burrell run a very close second.
Wow that was hilarious. It’s about time Al Bundy makes his return to tv. That “creampuffs” part had me rollin. This might be my new favorite show. I hope all the funny parts weren’t in the trailor.
Thanx for the reminder Rich. Totally forgot about this show and that I wanted to see it. It’s gonna be tough…it’s competing with Glee which is gayfabulous!
