In the TV world, best new TV comedy that you may not be watching (I know I wasn't) is "Modern Family", which just started a few weeks ago and airs Wednesday nights at 9pm. Don't despair - if you have TiVo or DVR, start recording for tomorrow and then use Hulu to catch up...you've only missed three or four episodes and they're very short w/o commercials - 20 or 21 minutes/episode. I've only watched a few minutes of the pilot and, trust me, it is funny! Starring Ed O'Neill (of "Married with Children" fame or notoriety - that's your call, lol), Sofia Vergara (of the cancelled-too-early "Knights of Prosperity", a quirky comedy that only lasted a few episodes), Julie Bowen ("Ed", though here Bowen's character not as sunny with a sarcastic streak), and a few other talented cast that round out the ensemble.
Don't believe me? Click here for an article from Movieline which discusses how this show is already resonating with viewers.
It's easy for me to add this to our TV lineup as we've finally bid "Gary Unmarried" goodbye -- Jay Mohr as Gary is very funny - as is his character's brother, Mitch, played by Rob Riggle, funnyman formerly with "The Daily Show" - but I don't think there's anything really innovative that they can do with the storyline: saw the recent development brewing the moment they introduced the new character.
