Oh noes!

I hope you don't have to lose out on computer access, hun. *crossing my fingers that the powers of awesome smile down on you for once*

Honestly...I lost interest in Family Guy years ago. And despite the cameos, I'm pretty sure I won't be watching it.

It's really not worth it. Someone will put the 30 sec clip on Youtube no doubt. Stupid Family Guy.

Dude, that sucks like a suckish thing. :( Hopefully you'll be able to get back online soon!

And at least you get to see the finale. I might have to wait until Saturday night.

*hugs*

Lily did get to keep her job. :) And I have a devious and cunning plan to account for my absence.

Re: Family Guy - it's more satire than humour so I'm not surprised you didn't find it funny. I loved Josh's line about leading in the Prince audience between the ages of 18-35 hehe! =)

Yep, Josh can make anything sweetly amusing with his lovely voice. But I just feel like this was an epic fail in terms of a wasted opportunity to use those three amazing actors.

I think the three of them should just have their own animated show, what say ;) OOOOH did you notice they entered with a CBS flag? I love those little details!

"Are you sure you want to delete?" lol

Okay, the CBS flag was funny, as was the "delete" from TiVo thing.

But I just thought it was a waste of having the actual HIMYM dudes in it.

They just seem to be making fun of HIMYM without it actually being funny.

Yeah, you seem to be describing that show in general. I hate it. It makes me want to claw my eyes out when it's on TV. It's not because I find it offensive. It's because it's freaking STUPID. And annoying.

Anyway-- OH NOEZ I've been reading about your computer troubles!!!!! This is awful!!!! If you have to give the loaner back, how long until you have a computer??

Yessssssssssss! (sorry, this is my reaction to the first message from you on LJ in what seems like a freakin' YEAR!)

But to address the question - I really don't get WHY CBS put HIMYM on Family Guy. I suspect it "promotes" the show or something. And, lame. Wish I had a Family Guy Fail icon! But I can't make icons anymore. My photoshop has gone to the software grave in the sky.

And I have no idea what computer I'll be using from day to day which does my head in when it comes to writing fic or downloading stuff. I'm surprised I've done anything at all since you've been away!!! HOPEFULLY I'll get back old-and-broken lappy on Wednesday now and it'll be less-broken lappy and I'll keep it for about two weeks. Until shiny-happy-new lappy arrives!

Yeah, I don't really get it either. But the thing is, Family Guy is not a CBS show. It's on FOX. And even when it was "resurected" it was still a FOX show. So I doubt CBS was affiliated at all. (They've been sued for not having the rights to things they've spoofed, so...)

So who knows.

Yeesh, if I had lotsa money I'd send you a new computer right now. Unfortunatley I spent all my money this week. I'll cross my fingers for you instead!

Well, perhaps CBS are trying to cross promote to FOX? They mentioned the title of the show in a very heavy-handed way! I kow nothing about american TV!

And it's not the money! It's the time it takes procurement to order the damn lappy. Grrrr
