Modern Families: How 20th Television Landed No. 1 Hits Outside Of Disney With Netflix’s ‘Nobody Wants This’ & CBS’ ‘Tracker’
In 2008, a comedy about the behind-the-scenes of the TV industry, Back To You, co-created/executive produced by Steve Levitan, was canceled by Fox, the broadcast network then-aligned with Levitan’s longtime studio home, 20th Television. Shortly thereafter, another comedy co-created/executive produced by Levitan, Modern Family, was sold to a rival network, ABC, where it went to series and became an instant hit.
