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?
FIRST
best show (sitcom) in a long while
WHO CARES!!!!!!
Modern Family is ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS!!!!! I LOVE IT
This show actually makes me laugh out loud. No other show since Friends has done that.
And they’re coming to my state!
Douche
FIRST…MORON.
Modern Family is the best sitcom since FRIENDS!!! I LOVE it!!! (Though FRIENDS is better), but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Modern Family; I can’t wait for this episode!
dork
OMG THIS IS GOING TO BE HILARIOUS! SOOO GLAD THEY DECIDED TO NOT STOP AT THE AIRPORT!
Yes! Hopefully they’ll show the oldest daughter in a bikini!
Somebody let the guys at Lost know that Jack’s ex is in town.
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.
Now maybe all those people will stop saying that Juliet is married to Jack in the Sideways timeline.
@ 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!
Can’t wait !! Great show !!
HAHA! I can imagine Manny going after some Hawaiian girl…
does this mean sarah’s going to return to lost?
that’s the first thing that came to my mind when I saw that headline. please yes?
I want to be on this show so badly!
That reminds me of Growing Pains going there! What a greta homage to the old family sitcoms
Me too! That’s the first thing I thought of. Oh, I loved Growing Pains! RIP Boner.
Somehow, I*m getting a vibe that the family vacation may involve the local police. Be there! Aloha.
Hope we don’t get to see Phil in that speedo. Creepy.
Now THAT would be awesome!
Oh man, we better get some scenes with Ty Burrell shirtless. *drools*
Manny rules!!!! best Sitcom kid ever…
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.
does this mean julie Bowen might be shooting for lost as well…
She might as well. Kill two birds with one stone, I guess.
they ‘ll def have some inside joke about that ..after all both shows are abcdisney – they are big on cross promotion ( uhg)
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!
Oh I can’t wait for this. I see pages and pages of hilarious lines.
