Nigella Lawson News

ABC's THE TASTE all-star team of mentoring team of Anthony Bourdain, Nigella Lawson, Ludo Lefebvre and Marcus Samuelsson stopped by this morning's GMA to talk about the return of the series on Thursday, December 4

CLOTHES, CLOTHES, CLOTHES. MUSIC, MUSIC, MUSIC. BOYS, BOYS,BOYS. is a courageous memoir by Viv Albertine (Thomas Dunne, on sale 11/25), lead guitarist of the seminal punk band, The Slits.

It's the MODFAM Thanksgiving episode, and, as expected, there's a whole lot of turkeys present this week (three to be exact). Luckily, this episode wasn't one of them. :-) As I said on Halloween, generally, holiday episodes that continuously repeat holidays well into their run (like, six seasons in) may grow stale, as the holiday doesn't change and in a show's sixth season, creators may find less original storylines that haven't already been used up, say, last Thanksgiving. But, not the case with MODERN FAMILY, who, in their — give or take — sixth seasonal outing, gives us an original — and hilarious — storyline, that, again, was anything but a turkey. The episode provided a nice balance of Thanksgiving-centered stories and mixed them in with stories that didn't have to do with the holiday, but still seamlessly bled into those storylines — that's why the writing on this show is sooooo genius! (Okay… anyone have a count on how many times I've said that?!)
