Inside the Writers Room: Modern Family

Jul 19, 2010
7:00 PM PT
Beverly Hills

The show’s cocreators and executive producers Steve Levitan and Christopher Lloyd talk about the genesis and story lines of their hit show about a chaotic extended family whose individual members are both familiar and exotic. The patriarch is a middle-aged Everyman (Ed O’Neill) who has a sexy second wife (Sofia Vergara), an open, unaffected stepson (Rico Rodriguez), and two grown children: a once-wild but now buttoned-down daughter (Julie Bowen), whose nerdy husband (Ty Burrell) tries—without success—to be hip with their three kids and a worrywart gay son (Jesse Tyler Ferguson), who has adopted a Vietnamese baby with his exuberant, plus-size spouse (Eric Stonestreet). “Crazier than the Huxtables and sweeter than the Bluths, the Modern Family clan is reinventing the family comedy—and viewers can totally relate,” raves Entertainment Weekly.
