Snip (1736 – 8 May 1757) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse. He only won one race, but later became a successful sire. His son Snap was undefeated in his four races and became a multiple-time Champion sire. Snip was bred and owned by William Cavendish, 3rd Duke of Devonshire.
"Snip" is the 3rd episode of the fourth season of the American sitcom Modern Family, and the series' 75th episode overall. It aired October 10, 2012. The episode was written by Danny Zuker and directed by Gail Mancuso.
Snip is a 1976 comedy starring David Brenner about a hairdresser living in Cape Cod, Massachusetts who has his ex-wife, daughter and former aunt living with him in his apartment. He and his ex-wife are both in the same hairdressing business under their boss and friend who's an openly gay man (played by Walter Wanderman). It was a take-off of the movie Shampoo and was created by James Komack, the creator of Chico and the Man and Welcome Back Kotter.
Pre-broadcast reports about the show noted that it would include an openly gay character as a regular on the show, which was unusual for the time. The series was to premiere September 30, 1976 on NBC, but was cancelled at the last minute and never made it to air in the U.S. The cancellation was so abrupt even TV Guide was caught off guard, and listed the show in its "Fall Preview" issue for that year. Seven episodes were filmed. but two were never edited. The five which were completed aired in Australia. Variety later called this "the oddest case of a shelved show" and "one of the most infamous last-minute yanks" and David Brenner has opined that the show was cancelled because the network feared reaction to the gay character.
