Levitan says:
When the show airs on the East Coast, it’s six o’clock our time [in LA]. We hit Twitter, and we search for “Modern Family”—the writers, we do this—and we call it Google Mirth. People are watching the show, and people are, in real-time… they’re basically… they’re laughing on Twitter. “Ah haha! Love that line!” We get instant feedback.
There’s something great about that—about people at the absolute top of their game, with one of the biggest shows on TV, still waiting with bated breath, watching Twitter, wondering, as we always do, no matter how successful we get: “What does everybody think?”
Here’s another line from Levitan, via the official liveblog. This is something that I say a lot, too:
I think what [Twitter is] doing is bringing people back to watching television live. Because they want to be a part of that conversation.
