Amidst Dealing With XFL’s $60M Loss & Building Teremana’s Distillery, Dwayne Johnson Spares Time to Reveal His Pick for “One of the Greatest Shows Ever”

Dwayne Johnson, on the silver screen, inspires millions and millions of his fans. It would not be a travesty to think that he is one of the best actors in the world. After all, he is among the highest-paid movie stars on the planet. But, what is The Rock’s favorite TV show? Johnson has revealed on his Instagram account, one of the TV shows he enjoys watching the most. 

And it is none other than ABC’s, Modern Family. The situational comedy follows the lives of three modern families in California trying to deal with their kids, jobs, and eccentric spouses. As mirthful as the entire show is, there is one scene from season 1 that never fails to tickle The Rock. 

Dwayne Johnson shares his favorite scene from Modern Family

Modern Family was first released in 2009. And after enjoying a decade’s worth of success, the show came to a close in 2019. The highly acclaimed sitcom features well-known actors such as Julie Bowen, Ty Burrell, Sarah Hyland, Eric Stonestreet, and many others. 

Going to Instagram, Dwayne Johnson shared a snippet from the first episode of season 1 where Phil Dunphy(Ty Burrell) compliments Gloria’s dress. In response, she says, “Thank you, Phil!” But, because of her accent, “Phil” sounds like “feel”. And so, Phil is happy to oblige and starts caressing her dress. That’s when he gets a slap on his wrist from Mrs. Dunphy(Julie Bowen), making the scene one of the funniest moments in the show. 

While sharing the clip on his social media, Dwayne Johnson wrote, “F*ck. Never gets old. One of the greatest shows ever. Brilliant cast”. Johnson also added clapping, laughing out loud, and a devil emoji to Phil’s “ok” response before he starts feeling the dress. Modern Family is undeniably one of the best sitcoms ever due to its puns and slapstick moments.
