"Modern Family's" Eric Stonestreet: I'm the straight version of my character
"I'm inspired by my mom," he says of playing flamboyantly gay Cameron. "She grounds me in the role. But I've always just felt a kindred spirit with him. I always say that I'm the straight version of Cameron. I'm a celebrator and an incredibly passionate person about things, whether it's a good sandwich or putting a BBQ grill in my backyard. I just have a passion for life, like Cameron. I see him as a human being first, a father second, a partner in a relationship third."

"Glee" ends with what seemed like an anti-cliffhanger
"You would think that any show going on hiatus for four months would set up plenty of teasers, if not outright cliffhangers, to keep us interested over the break," says James Poniewozik. "You would think that most of all about Glee, which spent most of its brief life to date piling problem upon calamity upon twist …Instead, 'Glee' changed up, and gave us—besides a couple of exultant performances and a heart-stopping smooch—what was almost an anti-cliffhanger. The wedding's off; the losers won; the show choir is united. The question instead is: what problems are they going to run into the second half of the season?"
