If you haven’t been watching Modern Family on ABC/Sky1, you really should have been because it’s one of the funniest shows around — which is also why it won a whole cluster of Emmys on Sunday.
During said Emmys, there was this ‘ere skit, in which a TV exec decides to tinker with the Modern Family format. You might spot a crossover with Family Guy as well as a guest appearance from a certain major movie star.
I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
