A 48-hour waiting period might prevent the criminally insane from making a show like “America’s Got Talent” a top-ten hit. And keep amazing, scripted shows like “Modern Family” on the air for years.
Speaking of which, there was a nice inside joke on the “Modern Family” season premiere. Above, behind Manny and Jay as they mistakenly stand in line with same-sex couples who want marriage licenses, is Jeff Greenberg, on the right – the head casting director for the show – and in the sweater, his real-life partner, Lars Anderson. (A big home-furnishings designer to the stars.)
It was a really nice way of honoring the man who casts the Emmy winner for best comedy, and his new-found ability to turn pro. (Plus he’s a really nice guy.) That’s good TV. Real TV. Real talented TV.
