New ABC Comedy, Modern Family, Features Gay Couple With a Child

It's late on a hot afternoon in August, and the producers of ABC's new comedy "Modern Family" are debating panties. The crew is shooting a scene on a Century City soundstage with Ty Burrell, who plays Phil, a suburban dad who can't stop embarrassing himself or his three kids. At the end of a complicated spat with another family member, Phil winds up covered in ladies' underwear just as his wife walks in. Watching the scene on a nearby monitor, Christopher Lloyd, who once ran "Frasier" and is the co-creator and executive producer of "Modern Family," thinks there may be too much lingerie. He wonders if they can do another take to make the scene-stealing Phil look less like, well, a panty-loving pervert.
