ABC has decided to give early renewals to several shows on their roster. The long running drama “Grey’s Anatomy” will return for more next year as well as its spin-off “Private Practice.” Despite what some people might think about “Grey’s” current storylines, it still pulls in solid ratings for the network, so this decision shouldn’t come as a shock.
We’ve got an awesome casting scoop for one of television’s funniest shows: “Modern Family.” According to EW, the regulars will get a visit from an Oscar nominee in the form of Matt Dillon.

There’s only one big time feature film release on DVD this week, but it’s a big one. At least it seems like a big one. It shoulda been a big one. It wanted to be a big one.

He appeared in a skit with the cast of ABC’s “Modern Family” where he literally charmed the pants off everybody on the show — everybody! Watch the video below…
ABC has just stepped it up a notch in my book by renewing two of the best new shows on television. According to Variety, next year the network will bring back their Wednesday night comedy block, which includes “Modern Family,” “Cougar Town,” and “The Middle.” Sorry for fans of the failed Kelsey Grammer series “Hank,” you’re not invited to this party.
