ABC considered cutting the comedy’s Season 2 episode order as quasi-punishment for Galvin’s incendiary Vulture interview, in which the gay actor accused Eric Stonestreet of “playing a caricature … of a stereotype” as Modern Family‘s Cam. He also lashed out at Arrow‘s Colton Haynes, referring to the actor’s recent coming-out interview as “f—ing p–y bulls–t”.

This show is insulting to both gays and Catholics and, despite my best intentions, I believe it’s not watchable. And, unlike Modern Family, it’s not funny.
Lance says
Yes, cancel this a bring back Galavant to replace it. Galavant was funny, creative and didn’t offend anyone.
