Minnie Driver is set to make a guest appearance on the hilariously funny Modern Family in 2010.
EW.com report that Minnie, who previously had a hugely successful cameo on Will and Grace, will make her first appearance on the show next January.
Shelley Long proves the old adage ‘mother knows best’ wrong in an all-new episode packed with punchlines. The Cheers comedienne is on scene-snatching form as DeDe, Jay’s estranged ex-wife, who’s back in town to make amends for her performance at his wedding to Gloria: a wrecking ball could scarcely cause more damage.
The smart but soft-centred sitcom hits the spot in an all-new episode. Hilarity ensues during bonding sessions between unlikely pairings.
Phil insists that he’s “total buds” with his father-in-law, but realises that they could be closer: “He’s not a talker or a hugger… He once ran over my foot with his car.” After comparing their camaraderie to silverbacks in the jungle, Phil clears some space in his diary to spend quality time with Jay. In a trip that involves a model airplane and “threading the needle”, their relationship doesn’t exactly take flight…
This week’s fix focuses on the troubles and travails of fatherhood: what makes a good dad? Phil, who comes with a cringe caution, teaches his son to take responsibility by buying him a new bike. When his son appears to disappoint, Phil’s decision to teach him a lesson backfires spectacularly. Meanwhile, Jay’s bonding session with Manny isn’t successful. The naive youngster butts heads with his curmudgeonly stepdad and compares his real father to Superman. But Jay can only find one similarity: “They both landed in this country illegally”. When Manny is stood up on a trip to Disneyland, Jay proves that “ninety percent of being a dad is just showing up…”

I was expecting great things from this new US sitcom on Sky1, particularly given that it’s from the stable that produced long running and genuinely funny horse Frasier, and while I wasn’t terribly disappointed, I wasn’t terribly amused either.
It’s filmed documentary/mockumentary style – as per The Office – and it worked on many levels, as did the chemistry between the cast, but if I was pressed to summarise the show in one word, that word would be ‘mediocre’.
It was however good to see Ed O’Neill again who I did used to laugh out loud to when he was in Married With Children, and he still had some good comedic lines, but none that were uproarious. Read more & comment »

Modern Family, a brand new US series celebrating the freaky, frenetic and funny side of family life has arrived.

On October 15, brand new comedy sitcom Modern Family will find its home on Sky1 HD and Sky1. From the Emmy® award-winning writers of Frasier, the mockumentary style series centres around three very different American family units who are being followed by a film crew.
