Modern Family is probably going into its final season this year and looks like someone is not going to make it to the last episode. The sitcom co-creator Christopher Lloyd told Entertainment Weekly, “We’re handling some bigger life events in this season.” Then he added, “We do deal with a death, which is certainly a topic that families have to deal with, and on television, it’s not easy to do because that’s a heavy subject. But at the same time, it would seem unusual for a family not to go through it.”
That mysterious person will die during the first part of this season that debuts September 26th on ABC. When it comes to who it is, all he would say is that it is “significant character on the series.” That and the effects of their death will be played out for a few episodes.
Who do you think will die? I think it will be DeDe Pritchett (Shelly Long). I personally do not think they can kill off any of the leads even if it is the final season. Although, I can think of who I would want it to be…
For several months, there have been rumors that the 10th season of Modern Family will be its last. Today when he was on Today, they asked him it was true. He told them, “Well, I don’t know for sure, but we are not contracted to do an 11th season.” He then told Hoda Kotb that they will probably make a decision by Christmas.
The last time they went in for negotiations, the decision was finalized closer in May rather than January. It will be interesting to see what they will this time around.
Is there any hope for more seasons? Cam said, “I am open to it. I think we’re all open to the idea. But we don’t want to go away yet.” Only time will tell!
Do you think it is time for the sitcom to end or would you like more seasons?
Eric Stonestreet is on hiatus from Modern Family and he was photographed working at Healzer’s OK Tire Store in Ness City, Kansas. Does that mean he is looking for some extra cash to get him through the months the show is not in production? Nope, he is just promoting his cousin’s business. Hopefully, it works and he gets a few more people in the store!
Gabriel Iglesias is going to guest star on Modern Family and he looks just like on of the show’s stars. When I looked at this photo of him with Ed O’Neill and Sofia Vergara, I honestly thought he was Rico Rodriguez. I was looking dead center and then when I noticed Manny on the side, I was like which one is which. One of them could be cloned from the other one. Did you think Iglesias was Rodriguez and vice versa?
There was a recently a report in Forbes that Modern Family is ending next season, but no one asked any of the cast members if it is true. Today when Ed O’Neill was on Ellen DeGeneres’ show, she straight out asked him.
The show’s patriarch told her, “We are contracted through 10 and then it is open ended, but the feeling is it is probably going to be it.” Then when she asked if the rest of the cast feels the same way, he said, “I don’t know how they feel about going on, I just, you know we are contracted through 10 and then we’ll see. But I don’t know.” It is almost like he spoke when he shouldn’t have because the network has yet to announce next season as the final one. What do you think?
He also talked about how he got the job, almost lost it and then got it back it, and what is next for him when Modern Family officially ends.
Will you be sad to see this sitcom go away? I don’t know about you, but I am ready to move on.
And make sure to watch the whole interview above to hear how he doesn’t recognize the most famous of stars in the world when they tell him that they are a huge fan.
