Scoop: 'Modern Family' heads to Hawaii!

Filed under: Scoop and tagged: ,

It’s the biggest thing to happen to the Aloha State since Vincent Price terrorized the Brady boys back in 1972: Modern Family is heading to Hawaii!

Executive producer Steve Levitan confirms that the entire cast will fly to Maui next week to shoot an episode slated to air in May.

“We’re going to show them on a family vacation,” reveals Levitan, adding that the trip coincides with Jay’s birthday. “Jay thinks that he and Gloria are going by themselves for this romantic getaway, and she surprises him by inviting the entire family.”

Wait, it gets better!

The first part of the two-part episode will be set entirely at the airport as they set off on their big trip. “Initially, we were just going to do [the airport episode],” explains Levitan. “And then as we were shooting it we decided that [viewers] would be somewhat disappointed if we didn’t follow through on the [actual] trip. So now the entire family is going to Hawaii.”

Take me with you! Please?

    Somebody let the guys at Lost know that Jack’s ex is in town.

    • graeme

      haha! that’s hilarious. they should totally make a sneaky reference to that on “Modern Family”.
      I think I read a couple months ago that Bowen will be on Lost again this season.

      • crispy

        Now maybe all those people will stop saying that Juliet is married to Jack in the Sideways timeline.

      • Liz

        @ Crispy, I didn’t hear that about Jack and Juliet. I woudl be devastated if it were true. Sawyer and Juliet belong together in every timeline!

    I hope that ABC decides to make this an hourlong episode, it will be the greatest thing since the hour long Jim-Pam wedding episode.

  • cyclopticcupcake

    does this mean julie Bowen might be shooting for lost as well…

    • Vivi

      She might as well. Kill two birds with one stone, I guess.

      • Buzz

        they ‘ll def have some inside joke about that ..after all both shows are abcdisney – they are big on cross promotion ( uhg)

  • shannon

    EPIC!

    seriously, love everything about this show! Blends nicely modern sitcom elements (no laugh track, documentary style) with classic standards (location shoots, catchphrases “gotta fix that step”)

    looking forward to the Hawaii episode!

  • BJohnson

    Oh I can’t wait for this. I see pages and pages of hilarious lines.
