Yesterday during ABC’s TCA Winter Press Tour Day the head of ABC Stephen McPherson told us before he told the casts and crews of
Modern Family,
The Middle and
Cougar Town that they were all picked up for a second season. He then dared us to Tweet the pick ups, which we did and that is how some of them found out. In fact Steven Levitan, the show creator of Modern Family told us this is how he found out, “We were shooting a scene this morning, and I got a call from ABC and they were — as they were trying to get Chris Llyod (Co-EP) and I on the line together and get everybody on the phone together, it had already been Twittered here and our actors were already reading it. So when I came back to make the big announcement, they’re like, ‘Yeah, we know.'” For some reason I can picture Steven Levitan walking out on to the set and seeing the cast with those signs that
Jesse Tyler Ferguson Tweeted breaking the news to him that way they were renewed. After listening him talk yesterday and seeing those pictures, I imagine that Modern Family is a really fun place to work! That could be why it is such an awesome show that has really helped to save sitcoms from near extinction. Well that show along with The Middle and Cougar Town! So check out all three shows tonight on ABC starting at 8p for much needed laughs!!!
