'Modern Family', 'Cougar Town' return tonight, as do Jules' fingerguns

One of my new favorite pastimes is watching celebs jump on the Modern Family bandwagon via Twitter. (All aboard, Jon Favreau, who “powered thru” the season to date on iTunes New Year’s Day.) The show returns tonight with a new episode and guest star Benjamin Bratt (as Gloria’s ex). Here’s hoping he’s more of a Shelley Long than an Ed Norton…

Cougar Town also returns, with guest star Lisa Kudrow as a much-feared dermatologist who treats Jules and dates her ex. Watch a preview clip after the jump, along with what’s probably still my favorite scene from this series (and the one that hooked me on the show): “the full Shawshank experience.”
