I was already looking forward to Shelley Long guest starring on tonight's episode of Modern Family . Long is playing the unstable ex-wife of Jay, played by Ed O'Neill, who I also like. Modern Family has been one of the best new comedies this year, delivering on the hype surrounding it by establishing an appealing base of characters. And yesterday, according to the Hollywood Reporter...

Just when you think Modern Family can’t get any funnier, it does. And I say that both about the series generally and last night’s episode specifically. The casting of Shelley Long as Jay’s passive-aggressive (except when violently aggressive) yet sexually reactivated ex-wife was a stroke of genius, especially because Long’s presence brought out heretofore...

On Monday, Annie announced that Ted Danson now owns her Sunday night with HBO’s Bored to Death. Earlier today, Slezak praised Shelley Long’s hilarious guest turn last night on ABC’s Modern Family. Doing the math, I now have a window to post this classic clip of Sam and Diane getting together in the March 1983 season

... by showing that a prominent guest star could come in without overwhelming what's already working. Shelley Long makes sense both from a genetic standpoint (I buy her as the mother of Julie Bowen and Jesse Tyler Ferguson, even more than I buy Ed O'Neill as their father) and from a professional comedy standpoint. She fit in well with the cast, doing what so much of "Modern Family"...

... with Rece Davis and Mark May . It's the first time dad has called a game involving his son. Maybe Shelley Long will make an appareance as the crazy ex-wife. Skip it, or risk not hearing something crazier than a Thanksgiving after-dinner discussion on health care? Even more family matters: Taco man Bob Griese is back, and his son, Brian, has two games (starting tonight). And as for...

The beer selection at Rico's Pub is surprisingly awesome. It doesn't take much to make the front page of the Moscow-Pullman Daily News . The former president—long deceased—of WSU looks a lot like that guy on Seinfeld (who wound up hosting Family Feud ) crossed with Ted Danson (who is totally hilarious on Bored to Death ). In a related development Shelley Long, who...
