Yes, but Apple doesn't actually pay for product placements. They only provide the needed products. If Modern Family needed the funds, they wouldn't go to Apple.

Only reason I would even consider such a wild possibility is because of those Disney World episodes all successful ABC sitcoms are obligated to do. But until more ABC shows start doing blatant Apple product placements, let's put this in the "conspiracies" pile.

Ok, if you're going to do a format like this, it'd be stupid to not get free phones and computers in the process. And seeing how Apple doesn't actually pay money for placements, they are a terrible choice if you're looking to make a buck. I bet MS would fund the whole episode, if they were asked.

Ok thanks. Actually I am not sure what that proved. But here goes.

Answer my question and I'll indulge you.

I can go on and make a huge list of all the wrong things you've said in just this one post but most of what you've said is either irrelevant or an opinion. Arguing those things is a waste of time. But, what I really want to know is: did you know beforehand that HIMYM was followed by FWBL and did you think of that when…

Wasn't HIMYM's last episode followed by Friends with Better Lives?

Hey look, its a troll manifestation!

Ironically, the same night Family Guy acknowledged its cruelty to Meg and treated her like an actual character. Of course, I don't remember how the episode ended, so they could've voided the kind gesture with more cruelty.
