No Hard Feelings

Hollywood – Finding themselves bombarded by the tremendous amounts of mail from angry viewers, FOX officials held a press conference today, to explain the long delay in the airing of new episodes of their hit comedy “Ally McBeal”. As the entire cast stood by, FOX spokesman, Ben Delphy took the podium:
  
“Good morning ladies and gentlemen. We have decided to hold this press conference to address the issues involving the absence of new episodes of our show. We are aware of the many rumors floating about, and won’t comment on any of them since we consider them only that; rumors.
     
     Jane would like to make her apologies to all members of the crew, most of all to John, our wardrobe director, and to express her intention to pay for the entire course of his antibiotic treatments.
    Gil would like to apologize to all the cast, crew, and fans for rendering them unconscious during the scenes in which he appeared. He also wishes to assure everyone, that he is presently seeking therapy for his “boredom syndrome”, and is hopeful a cure will be found for his dullness.
    Finally, I received a letter last week from the editor in chief of The Daily Cynic, which I felt would be appropriate to include today, in which he, while expressing no regret for the publishing of any of the articles pertaining to our production and cast, did however, wish to inform Portia that she should go on without him, as he believes he may have found, in his words, “A woman yet lovelier than her, with all the charm of an Audrey Hepburn…and more. Plus she can spell her own name”
 

   Delphy went on to say, that with the reconciliation complete, and the actors once again on speaking terms, the show would soon resume it's course.
