Brian Steinberg Senior TV Editor The popular sitcom “Modern Family” is picking up some new real estate — while keeping its other homes. Warner Bros. Discovery’s TBS cable network will start showing a three-hour block of the landmark comedy, which ran on ABC for 11 seasons between 2009 and 2020.
Beginning Monday, September 25, “Modern Family” will run between 12:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. on weekdays as part of an effort by the large cable outlet to reinforce its comedy leanings.
Those hours have been occupied in the recent past by episodes of “Friends” and “Young Sheldon,” both of which will continue to run on the network. On Monday, TBS began running longer daily marathons of “The Big Bang Theory,” the popular sitcom. “Our audience continually seeks out popular comedies like ‘Friends,’ ‘The Big Bang Theory’ and ‘Modern Family,’ so now that we have all three of these iconic series on TBS, we can build an even bigger, more engaged audience,” said Julie Taylor, chief of content, strategy and insights for Warner Bros.
Discovery’s US Networks Group, in a prepared statement. “We have the best in class content that drives an audience from daytime through primetime and we do that by leveraging our fans’ affinity for comedies and by creating daily destination.” “Modern Family” is expected to continue running in other venues where it has been found. NBCUniversal’s cable networks and Peacock and Disney’s Hulu also have rights to run the series, and will continue to enjoy them, according to people familiar with the matter.

The occasion on that Tuesday was a hastily arranged fundraiser for a South African human (and animal) rights organization, and the orangutan was by no means the only luminary I was surprised to find sitting in my chair over the three decades I spent with my big-hearted wife. Wasn’t it only six months earlier that I’d opened my door to find Fayard Nicholas (seated) and his brother Harold (mopping his brow) — the legendary Nicholas brothers tap dancing team, then in their 80s, who, Arleen had decided, needed a fundraiser.
