Modern Family Reviews, Interviews & More
With a series of nominees far less shocking than the yesterday’s SAG Awards picks, the 2013 Golden Globe nominees have been announced and, unsurprisingly, Lincoln, Silver Linings Playbook, Zero Dark Thirty, and Django Unchained basically own the film nominees.
Be sure to read our 2012 Emmy Awards recap!
Well, the 2012 Emmys were held on Sunday night, in an opulent tribute to the finest programming television has to offer. And by finest, apparently the Emmy voters are big fans of Two and a Half Men and Dancing with the Stars, because somehow, somehow, those programs...
This week’s DVD and Blu-ray releases are all about a certain doctor/professor/adventurer whose adventures have kept us entertained for over three decades, and made for at least two good movies. There’s also the surprisingly great The Cabin in the Woods, and the Katy Perry movie, and Criterion’s got a couple winners coming as well. Check it out.
It used to be that winning an Emmy was considered sub-Oscar, but now that television is getting to be on similar artistic footing as cinema, it's surprising that winning one still isn't that great an accomplishment. Perhaps it's because of the stodgy and repetitive picks of their academy. Here's the full list of their 2012 nominations :
Well, it’s that time of year again, when TV networks decide which TV programs are profitable enough to save, and which are unsuccessful enough to deserve a summary execution. Up for the chopping block this year were such shows of wildly varying quality like The Office, Nikita, Parks and Recreation, Whitney, Community, Awake, and many, many...
Having been building award steam since November, it looks like Michel Hazanavicius's The Artist is an unstoppable juggernaut of Oscar-sized proportions. Its latest victory is winning the Producer's Guild Award for best picture, and it should get more than a handful of nominations when the Oscar nominees are announced tomorrow. Check out the list winners at the PGA...
"Modern Family" returns with the obligatory Christmas episode, but thankfully, unlike so many other family-centric sitcoms, it doesn't come off as some kind of PSA. The humor is strong, all the characters are in play, and the episode, overall, is a success. Read our review to find out why. . .
If there is one thing we can say about "Modern Family," it is that it's reliable. While it may not be the funniest show on television, it's consistent, thanks to the clever writing and one of the strongest ensemble casts on TV right now. Last night's episode was no different. Plus, a special guest star showed up to make the episode even more enjoyable. Read our review to find...
This week's episode of "Modern Family" proves that the third season is just as reliable as the first two. It can be difficult to pack a lot of laughs into a sitcom featuring a large ensemble cast, but everyone involved pulls it off without a hitch this week. As usual, the comedy derives from the quirks of the characters, which is exactly what we've come to expect from this...
"Modern Family" has been having a fairly successful third season so far, and while tonight's episode is arguably the weakest one yet this year, it's still better than most bland family sitcoms. While lacking the consistent laughs of previous episodes, it features a surprise guest star and enough humor to keep us reasonably entertained for half an hour. Read our review to learn...
After a couple of decent first episodes, season 3 of "Modern Family" seems to be shaping up into another strong year for this show. Last night's episode offered up enough laughs to keep us entertained for half an hour, and it did so the way this show ought to: by playing off the quirks and personalities of the well-drawn characters. Read on to see how we felt. . .
It's an Emmy-heavy week on DVD this week, with last night's winner for Outstanding Comedy (as well as dozens of other awards) and this year's winner for Outstanding Actress in a Comedy both have big DVDs dropping this week.
But it's not just winners here. The networks still have their coffers full of last season's offerings from many top shows and they're unloading another big bunch this...
Well, last night was television's big night, the 2011 Emmy Awards, in which the luminaries of the small screen gathered together to pat each other on the back, stare vacuously on the red carpet before the show, and proceed to make horribly, horribly unfunny jokes before arbitrarily handing out awards.
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. Not only that, but Shelley Long will reprise her role as Claire (Julie Bowen) and Mitchell's (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) troublesome mother.
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. But, in the end, not quite a big one. The one we're talking about? Robin Hood. Yes, the movie you first started seeing trailers for during the end of last football season is finally available as...
George Clooney was on hand at Sunday night's Primetime Emmy Awards to accept a huge honor. He was the recipient of the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award that recognizes actors who go out on a limb to help those in need. Even though his presence was for a serious cause, he still managed to have a little fun. He appeared in a skit with the cast of ABC's "Modern Family" where he...
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...
