Modern Family: Cast & Creators Live at the Paley Center

الوصف

Series creator Steven Levitan talks about the show's origins and cast members pick their favorite scenes. This William S. Paley Television Festival live event honors Modern Family, a "mockumentary" comedy series about the eccentric individuals comprising three inter-related families in Los Angeles. Billy Bush (host, Access Hollywood) moderates the following panelists: series creator/executive producer Steven Levitan; co-executive producer/director Jason Winer; and cast members Julie Bowen (Claire Dunphy), Ty Burrell (Phil Dunphy), Sofia Vergara (Gloria Delgado-Pritchett), Ed O'Neill (Jay Pritchett), Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Mitchell Pritchett), and Eric Stonestreet (Cameron Tucker). The panelists touch on such topics as: if the show has "reinvented" the sitcom genre; O'Neill's transition from sitcom icon Al Bundy on Married With Children to his current role; and how the show's depiction of gay life compares with earlier sitcoms like Will and Grace. Questions from the audience then lead to a discussion of the following topics among others: if Cameron and Mitchell will become "more physical" in coming seasons and why the series is shot in a documentary style.
