Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Allyson doesn't really want a pony?

I hope I still have the receipt...

Barry, when Allyson says she wants a pony we all know she's joking.
Yes, but deep down she really does want one.
You do know that dead shows are dead, and that part of the grieving process is moving on?
It was a throwaway line I added to my post. The main thing I wanted to discuss was the new network and what it might mean for struggling shows.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Most shows die and stay dead. But they did bring back Family Guy. In all of its animated zombie showness.

Which I think adds credence to the mourn, grieve, rend your garments and then move on theory.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

The morphing edits make my head explode.

That's what I was going for.

If I only had a brain...

Can I rend somebody else's garments instead? If so, Hugh Jackman.

Even if he's not wearing them?

Barry, if you deliberately make people's heads explode, you need to clean up after yourself.
