Couch Potato Mode On!

I've been waiting for months, heck, even a year for October to come. Why? Well simply because my favorite TV series will be airing new episodes. Yayy for new seasons!

Ok, so here are the shows I'm really really excited about! 

Modern Family (Season 3)
9pm ET on Wednesdays on ABC


Modern Family is an American television comedy series created by Christopher Lloyd and Steven Levitan, which debuted on ABCon September 23, 2009. Lloyd and Levitan serve as showrunner and executive producers, under their Levitan-Lloyd Productions label. Depicted in mockumentary style, the fictional characters talk directly into the cameras during many situations that arise throughout the series.

The story follows the families of Jay Pritchett (Ed O'Neill), his daughter Claire Dunphy (Julie Bowen), and his son Mitchell Pritchett(Jesse Tyler Ferguson), who live in a suburban community of Los Angeles, California. Claire is a homemaker mother married to Phil Dunphy (Ty Burrell); they have three children—Haley (Sarah Hyland), Alex (Ariel Winter), and Luke (Nolan Gould). After splitting with his longtime wife (Shelley Long), Jay has re-married a much younger Colombian woman, Gloria Delgado-Pritchett (Sofía Vergara), and is helping her raise her pre-teen son, Manny (Rico Rodriguez). Mitchell and his partner Cameron Tucker (Eric Stonestreet) have adopted a Vietnamese baby, Lily Tucker-Pritchett (Ella Hiller, Jaden Hiller during seasons 1 and 2; Aubrey Anderson-Emmons thereafter).

Lloyd and Levitan conceptualized the series while sharing stories of their own "modern families." The series premiered to critical acclaim and was watched by 12.61 million viewers.[1][2] Early on, it was named as a big contender for the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards.[3] Soon after, the series was picked up for a full season on October 8, 2009.[4][5] On January 12, 2010, Modern Familywas renewed for a second season by ABC.[6]

The series has received positive reviews from critics and received multiple award nominations. In 2010, following its first season, it won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series, as well as two other Emmy Awards, Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for Eric Stonestreet, and Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series for Steven Levitan and Christopher Lloyd.[7][8] It again won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series in 2011 and Ty Burrell won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series . The syndication rights to the show have also been sold to USA Network and 10 Fox affiliates for a fall 2013 premiere.[9][10][11] The success of the show has also led it to being the sixteenth highest revenue earning show for 2010, earning $1.6 million an episode.[12] On January 10, 2011, Modern Family was renewed for a third season, [13] which premiered with a one-hour special on September 21, 2011.[14] In 2011, the show won five Emmy Awards, including Supporting Actress for Bowen, Comedy Series, Supporting Actor for Burrell, Writing and Directing.
