Ed O'Neill, who stars in the ABC sitcom "Modern Family" but may be better known as the misanthropic shoe salesman on the 1990s comedy series "Married With Children", says Jane Lynch should not have won an Emmy for her role on "Glee".

Lynch, 50, plays the cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester, whose put-downs of students and glee club director Will Schuester on FOX's musical sitcom are arguably as nasty as the ones O'Neill's character, Al Bundy, uttered to everyone on his show - from overweight women to his own family.
