‘Modern Family’ airs Apple-centric episode

During the ABC show, character Claire Dunphy uses her MacBook Pro to communicate with her family while sitting at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport. The New York Daily News reported that series creator Steve Levitan said the move made sense for the Emmy-winning show because “We shoot digitally anyway.”

“Bonus points to the writers for the great attention to detail,” she wrote. “Almost everything about Claire’s digital world seemed fleshed out, down to the previous communications with her children. If you looked at the history of Claire’s text messages to Haley, there was one where she had simply written ‘chicken and something,’ which we can assume was in reply to a query about dinner. I love that stuff.”
