Speaking to TV critics at a press conference in LA, 'Modern Family' and 'Married ... With Children' star Ed O'Neill praised 'Glee' star Jane Lynch, then slammed her 2010 Emmy win.
"I love Jane, honestly I do," O'Neill said,
TV Guide reports. "I'm dying to star in one of Christopher Guest's movies alongside her, but I don't think she should have gotten the Emmy for that part. [Sue Sylvester] is just a one-note character."
O'Neill submits his onscreen wife Sofia Vergara should have won the Emmy. "Sofia is just so, so funny. I don't think people realize how hilarious she is. She's so sharp with her wit, it's amazing."
O'Neill also recounted his disinterest in getting back into the sitcom game after spending 10 years on 'Married ... With Children.'
"Then I read the ['Modern Family'] script, and I said to myself, 'Oh God, this is so good.' I put the script down and came back and read it a second time and thought, 'I have to do this.'"

He makes NO sense. Sofia's character is also just a 'one note' character...

Jane Lynch's best character....Three and half men, playing the therapist, I always laughed when she was on!

Well, he is right about Sofia Vergara. I am definitely a fan of her. When I first heard that they are going to play as a couple when the show began, I therefore started watching the show.
Sofia Vergara is exotic, invigorating, and so much more. Indeed, she is a real woman.

That's a matter of opinion. I think Jane Lynch is terrific. She's the reason I watch "Glee." Without here it would be a pretty tame show. She fully earned the Emmy.

What do you expect? Ed O'Neil is just another loser from Youngstown

I think both of those shows suck.

Oh great, now he's getting vocal. You were fantastic in Married with Children, Ed, but the most boring detective on television in Big Apple. Unbelievably bad. You are merely there to entertain us. Don't get carried away. Be silent, and just continue to be funny in Modern Family. That's all you have to do. Shhhh.

Though I like Jane, she does play the exact same character! See her in "The 40 year Old Virgin," "Role Models." You would think "Sue Sylvester" was in both these films! Sofia was robbed and "Modern Family" runs circles around "Glee."

Jane is very good, Ed's got sour grapes because he was the only cast member not nominated and he must be a homophobe, why target in on Jane?

"Homophobe". Get real. People are entitled to opinions without being labeled "homophobe". You appear to be the only narrow minded and childish individual posting.
Sofia you have no business posting under the name Ernest De Brew!

The truth hurts. Jane Lynch IS a one note character herself. I'm sick to death of her and Betty White. The most overexposed people on TV. Further evidence that Glee is garbage.

Entitled to your opinion...."Glee" is not garbage, is the most entertaining new show on this year along with "Raising Hope" which is worth the watch just for Cloris Leachman's character alone..but I digress
Someone sounds a little bitter, don't they????
