With the end of an era coming for ABC's long-running sitcom ModernFamily, author Marc Freeman is ready to give insider access to the show in lieu of the series finale
shares the cover and a foreword written by Lloyd:
How else to describe the sensation of discovering that Sofia Vergara isn’t just beautiful, but is a first-rate clown? Or that Ed O’Neill can do more with a raised eyebrow than most actors can do with a soliloquy? Or that Julie Bowen and Ty Burrell, both consummate professionals, are reducing each other to a demonstrably unprofessional level of laughter mid-take on a daily basis? Or that Eric Stonestreet is making us marvel five different ways in five consecutive takes, forcing his scene...
Across from stage 5 where this happy experiment is playing out, another is happening in a different barn. This is where our writers gather and where we have stumbled into a highly effective and Marquis de Sade-worthy process premised upon the idea that this show is only going to be good if it feels real to people. So, we are all going to have to unburden ourselves of our most embarrassing personal stories because that is the grist our comedy mill seems to need.
Six weeks pass like this. The stories are coming easily in barn one, though not without plenty of averted eyes at the lunch table . And in barn two, the actors, and directors, and cinematographers, and costumers and gaffers and set-dressers — everyone — are showing a dedication to detail that is the hallmark of professionalism, or at least the hallmark of don’t-let-me-be-the-one-to-screw-it-upism. And thus we arrive at our premiere night, September 23, 2009.
