Martin Alexander has filed a complaint with the District Court in New York which states that the defendants have illegally copied “Modern Family” based on his own copyrighted work.
According to the paperwork, Martin had created and copyrighted a show called “Lonny Ben,” which is similar to “Modern Family” and had been shopping it around to various networks before “Modern Family” came to be.
Martin even filed a proposed cast list with the US Copyright Office in 2006 that included actress Sofia Vergara – who now has a role on ABC’s comedy show.
