This is just awesome! Go Modern Family!
ReplyDeleteGood. At least the very least the highest rated comedy should be a quality one.
ReplyDeleteWas only a matter of time after Lorre fired Charlie Sheen.
ReplyDeleteSince Sheen left the show has gone down hill fast... erm driven off a cliff just like Charlie has done a few times in real life! XD
This is so promising, Modern Family is one of the best comedies on tv, especially when you compare it to Two and a Half Men.
ReplyDeleteYes! It is good to know that sometimes quality TV can get the upper hand.
ReplyDeleteI have been waiting for this to happen. :)
ReplyDeleteGood news for a great show
ReplyDeleteThis is good, but what it's even better is that for the last week it has been #1 show on TV. Yes, not "scripted", the #1 overall, even better than Sunday Night Football.
ReplyDeletegrats to modern family, great show
ReplyDeletedoesn't mean much to me... these numbers to me are as accurate as attendance numbers in a New Jersey Devils game
ReplyDeleteHint -- Nielsen increase your sample size for data collection and then we'll talk
So happy to see this as I never really like Two and half men and though it was overrated, whereas I love Modern family
ReplyDeleteHit that one right on the nose, Darque.
ReplyDeleteI hope Modern Family gets better. Nothing for me to get fired up about yet.
