A man named Martin Alexander has filed a complaint with the District Court in New York that states the defendants (the creators of "Modern Family") have illegally copied "Modern Family” based on Alexander's own copyrighted work.
According to the paperwork, Alexander created and copyrighted a show called “Lonny Ben” in 2006, which seems to be very similar to "Modern Family" and had been shopping it around to various networks before anyone new what "Modern Family" was.
Alexander even filed a proposed cast list with the US Copyright Office that included actress Sofia Vergara – who now has a role on ABC’s hit comedy.
We’ll keep you informed as more information becomes available.
