'Modern Family'

It's funny how the farther we get from traditions, the more we seem to appreciate and cling to them. And if you are as hooked on Modern Family, airing Wednesdays on ABC, as we are, you'll see just how funny real life is in the 21st century. It really makes you appreciate the interracial gay couple with the Asian baby who have Photoshopped their pictures onto a Norman Rockwell Saturday Evening Post cover. So if you and your life partner are thinking about adopting a foreign child, or your grandpa just married a college cheerleader, invite them over to the house; we're throwing a Modern Family party!

Life is too short to let those doughnuts you had for breakfast control your life. And if you watch DietTribe Fridays on Lifetime, you'll realize that if you let doughnuts control you, your life might be shorter than you hoped. Luckily, DietTribe is a wonderfully supportive environment of compassion, tough love and encouragement that makes all of us believe we can take back our lives from the mindless, nonstop eating that has become so commonplace in modern-day America. And even if we think we can't, super hunk and trainer Jessie Pavelka will flex his sculpted biceps, casting a spell that is strangely satisfying even to the heterosexuals among us. So call your friends and neighbors; we're throwing a DietTribe party!

A girl doesn't start out thinking that one day she'll be a cougar - a single woman in her 40s who prowls the club scene hoping to sink her teeth into younger men - but it happens. And if we can suspend disbelief for just 30 minutes and watch Cougar Town Wednesdays on ABC, we might buy that Courteney Cox is one. Sure, that's a stretch, but it is an all-too-real situation for some women and an all-too-lucky break for young men everywhere. So grab the concealer and a heaping helping of Wonderbra; we're throwing a Cougar Town party!
