Modern Family and Cougar Town are on ABC at 9pm and 9:30pm est. Hot in Cleveland and Retired at 35 are on TV Land at 10pm and 10:30pm est.
Modern Family is a mockumentary about three families. Ed O'Neil plays Jay the patririarch has a trophy wife Gloria played Sofia Vergara and she has a son. Huge fans of both Ed and Sofia. Sofia was on a short lived series called Nights of Prosperity, which is when I became a fan. The other families are Jay's son and daughter. The son is gay and has a partner and an adopted daughter. The daughter is married and has three kids. The different family dynamics shows many different points of views. The writing is impeccable and funny. It is my favorite comedy and worth watching. Tonight is a repeat. Bummer!
Cougar Town is about a woman played by Courtney Cox, her son, ex-husband, boyfriend, and best friends and how they get through life's problems. This is the best description I can come up with. It is not on tonight.
The show started strong and now it's starting to flat line. I'm still watching because it's still more than 50% funny and I became a Busy Philipps fan. I'm hoping it will get funnier and the plots more interesting.
Hot in Cleveland and Retired at 35 are new tonight. I also DVR these shows. Hot in Cleveland has a veteran all female cast. Valerie Bertinelli, Wendie Malick, Jane Leeves and the great Betty White. Valerie, Wendie and Jane moved to Cleveland from Los Angeles and Betty White is the caretaker of the house. Freaking hilarious. The show has a lot of cameos by older actors. If you thirty five years old give or take a few years you will recognize these actors and appreciate seeing them on TV again. Betty White has the best lines as expected.
Then we got Retired at 35. A thirty five year old quits his stressful job in NY and moves to Florida with his parents. George Segal plays the father. I have been a fan of George Segal since Just Shot Me. Aha....... just made the connection that Wendi Malick is on Hot in Cleveland, which comes on before Retired at 35. Also became a fan of Wendi Malick on Just Shoot Me. On Retired at 35 the characters and the plot are original. So therefore if the originality continues, I will continue to watch.
Have a laugh, watch a comedy!!
