Nick@Nite to Add 'Modern Family' on September 9

Update (9/3) - Official Nickelodeon press release:

NICKELODEON ADDS MODERN FAMILY TO NICK AT NITE’S COMEDY LINEUP BEGINNING MONDAY, SEPT. 9

Share it: @NickAtNiteTV

HOLLYWOOD, Calif.–Sept. 3, 2024–Nickelodeon today announced the addition of Modern Family, the 22-time Emmy^® Award-winning acclaimed comedy series, to its Nick at Nite programming lineup beginning Monday, Sept. 9. All 11 seasons of Modern Family will debut in Nickelodeon’s nighttime programming block and air daily from 2-4 a.m. (ET/PT). The series joins a stellar roster of popular family comedies, including Emmy^® Award-winning shows Friends, Mike & Molly and Mom, as well as beloved sitcoms Young Sheldon and The Neighborhood, and marks the first time the sitcom will air within Paramount’s family of brands.

“Nick at Nite is home to an exceptional roster of fan-favorite and critically acclaimed comedy series, including Friends, Mike & Molly, and Mom, and we are thrilled to have the Emmy Award-winning sitcom Modern Family join our nightly lineup,” said Rachel Crain, SVP, Programming & Content Strategy, Nickelodeon Networks. “Our Nick at Nite viewers are sure to connect with the heartfelt authenticity, hilarious honesty and zealous bravery that has made Modern Family such a pop culture staple around the world.”

The licensing agreement with Disney Entertainment for the series was negotiated on behalf of Paramount Global by Barbara Zaneri, Chief Programming Acquisitions Officer.

About Modern Family

The family at the center of “Modern Family” is headed by Jay Pritchett (Ed O’Neill), who is now married to his second wife, the young, gorgeous Gloria (Sofía Vergara), assumed by some to be his daughter. In their loving care is Gloria’s daydreaming son, Manny (Rico Rodriguez). Jay’s driven daughter, Claire (Julie Bowen), and her real estate agent husband, Phil Dunphy (Ty Burrell), want an open, healthy relationship with their three kids, which isn’t always easy. Their oldest daughter, Haley (Sarah Hyland), grows up a little too fast. Middle child, Alex (Ariel Winter), is a too-smart-for-her-own-good daughter, and the youngest, Luke (Nolan Gould), is a rambunctious son. Where Phil wants to be the “cool dad,” Claire is determined to keep her kids from walking in the wayward footsteps of her younger days. Jay’s very serious son, Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson), and his gregarious husband, Cameron (Eric Stonestreet), become doting parents to Lily (Aubrey Anderson-Emmons), the sweet Vietnamese girl they adopt. Though life isn’t always tidy, politically correct, or predictable, it’s always loving, heartwarming, and hilarious for this blended, extended—and truly modern—family.

Throughout its impressive run, “Modern Family” was nominated for an astonishing 85 Emmy^® Awards and won 22 including five for Outstanding Comedy Series. The series was also honored with a Golden Globe^® Award,numerous Screen Actors Guild Awards^® and was recognized by the AFI,Humanitas and Peabody organizations. “Modern Family” premiered in 2009 and aired 250 episodes spanning 11 seasons.  

“Modern Family” was produced by 20th Television in association with Steven Levitan Productions and Picador Productions. Steven Levitan and Christopher Lloyd were co-creators/executive producers. Paul Corrigan, Brad Walsh, Danny Zuker, Abraham Higginbotham, Jeffrey Richman, Elaine Ko, Stephen Lloyd, Vali Chandrasekaran, Jack Burditt, JonPollack and Jeff Morton also served as executive producers on the final season. The series is distributed by Disney Entertainment.

Original post:

Nick@Nite will add the hit ABC single-camera comedy series Modern Family to its programming line-up on Tuesday, September 10, with four episodes airing daily between 2:00 a.m. - 5:00 a.m. (ET/PT)!

When the Pritchett, Delgado and Dunphy families agree to be interviewed by a documentary crew, they have no idea just how much they're about to reveal about themselves. Jay Pritchett (Ed O'Neill) met Columbian Gloria (Sofia Vergara) when she bartended in a bikini at the pool party he threw for himself the day his wife left him. Now Jay and Gloria are married and Jay tries hard to keep up with his much younger wife and her passionate teenage son, Manny (Rico Rodriguez). Jay's daughter, Claire Dunphy (Julie Bowen) is having a hard time raising her own family. Her husband Phil (Ty Burrell) is great, except for the fact that he thinks he's "down" with their teenage kids, Haley (Sarah Hyland), Alex (Ariel Winter) and Luke (Nolan Gould), much to their embarrassment. Mitchell Dunphy (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) and his enthusiastic partner Cameron (Eric Stonestreet) have just adopted Lily, a precious little baby girl from Vietnam.

This engaging comedy offers a 'mockumentary' view into the complicated, messy, loving life of three unique families. Steven Levitan (Just Shoot Me) and Christopher Lloyd (Frasier) invite you into the sometimes warm and sometimes twisted embrace of modern day families.

Modern Family originally ran for 250 episodes (and one special) over 11 seasons between September 23, 2009 – April 8, 2020. The series was developed under the working title My American Family.

'Married With Children' May Return to Nick at Nite

It looks like TV's favorite dysfunctional family are set to return to Nick@Nite! A new show page on nick.com suggests that Nickelodeon's nighttime programming block will be re-adding Married With Children to its programming line-up very soon! The news follows Nick@Nite airing Married... with Children briefly during summer 2011.

"Bring on the Bundys! TV's favorite dysfunctional family has found a happy home on Nick at Nite.And their family tale is one of love, marriage, and all those lovably annoying things in life," reads the Married With Children show page. "When Al Bundy realizes his football glory days are a thing of the past, he finds himself in a middle-aged slump, surrounded by a family that he loves...loves to complain about, that is. And to top it all off, he's fallen victim to the 'Bundy curse' which dooms him to a lengthy life as an unsuccessful women's shoes salesman. Al is the man of the household, but his wife Peg, son Bud, daughter Kelly, and unbearably annoying neighbor Marcy always find a way to foil even his smartest schemes. Or maybe he just has his own bad luck and dim wit to blame. Either way, the Bundy's bring on a bundle of fantastic family laughs."

Married With Children stars Ed O'Neill (Modern Family) as Al Bundy, Katey Sagal (Futurama, Tucker) as Margaret "Peggy" Bundy, Amanda Bearse (Fright Night) as Marcy Rhoades/D'Arcy, David Garrison (The West Wing) as Steve Rhoades, Christina Applegate (Dead to Me) as Kelly Bundy, David Faustino (The Legend of Korra) as Bud Bundy, and Ted McGinley (Happy Days, The Love Boat) as Jefferson D'Arcy.
