"Modern Family" Heading To Australia

ABC‘s Emmy-winning comedy will film its next vacation episode in Australia. Written by Danny Zuker and Elaine Ko and directed by "Modern Family" co-creator Steven Levitan, the episode will feature the show’s entire cast sans Jay and Gloria’s baby boy.

The show will film in Sydney, in the Blue Mountains and hopefully at the Great Barrier Reef with the cooperation of Australian airline Qantas.





Here is what Levitan had to say about next month’s stint:

"We are so excited about our trip down under and we promise not to do any ‘down under’ jokes. We look forward to a fantastic shoot in many exotic locations. We loved the family vacation episodes we shot in Hawaii and Wyoming – this one is certainly our most ambitious yet. We promise to feature a kangaroo, a koala and a boomerang.

I’m sure there will be lots more, but so far that’s all we know about Australia – our American school system is a disaster. So we thank Qantas for this amazing opportunity to broaden our horizons. Plus it’ll be nice to go to a place where everyone looks like Hugh Jackman and Miranda Kerr.

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!"

Sounds ambitious, I wonder how it will play out on the show. I hope it lasts more than one episode.

"One Percent Family" takes another expensive vacation.

How do they get all the families together to do this? Does Jay pay for everyone? How do all the men (since the wives don't work) get time off? I guess their muti story California houses are all paid for too.

I like this show, but damn, the people are too stinking rich.

I agree, it needs to be more than one episode. The Wyoming ranch vacation was only 1 half-hour.

The money-losing Australian airline spent $1 million in Aussie dollars to bring the show Down Under, including flying 80 “Modern Family” cast and crew members in a special “Modern Family Flyer” airplane.
