That's why the Disney Channel's ability to mint teen stars is so central to the company's future and why Rich Ross, former head of the Disney Channel, was recently tapped to replace longtime studio chief Dick Cook. In many ways, Ross ran his outfit like an old-school movie studio. The channel has always found young stars. Shia LaBeouf got his first break there, as did Hilary Duff and - way back in 1993 - Britney Spears.

...old-school sitcom would have told this joke as a zinger ("Yeah, well, tell your nesting instinct it left a Ding-Dong wrapper on the kitchen counter!" [Canned laughter]). This screwball-vérité style, by adding a layer of visual irony, allows Modern Family to pack its jokes tighter (the straight line and the contradiction are simultaneous) and connects the audience more intimately.

Now everything on the bed is changed. The choice of four pillows - two soft and two hard - came...
...Saturday night—the Fly always delivers. The Fly’s relaxed, classy vibe promises that you’ll start the night off on the right, albeit tipsy, foot. FYI, pastels are practically a prerequisite for the Fly’s renowned garden parties, and their old-school Gatsby bash lets a select few (invite-only, of course) party like it’s 1929. But no need to attend one of these events if you’re looking for a good time. No matter the night, come to the Fly to throw back some liquor...
