Christopher Lloyd

This has come up a couple of times in other venues, so I thought I’d mention this in a post: the co-creator of Modern Family and world’s biggest Ty Burrell fan, Christopher Lloyd, is not the guy from Who Framed The Taxi In the Future?, Christopher Lloyd. Because they have the same name, everyone who ever saw the credits on Frasier or Wings thought that the show was written or produced by Reverend Jim Ignatowski. I know I did; I still remember seeing the end credits of The Golden Girls and noticing that one of my favourite actors was listed as a staff writer. Except that it turned out it wasn’t him. Christopher Lloyd, the writer, is the son of another TV writer, David Lloyd (a legend in the business for writing such episodes as “Chuckles Bites the Dust”), who worked for his son on shows like Frasier, and he is married to the voice of Harley Quinn, all of which is really cool, but none of that means he has any association with Marty McFly.
