"We Love You, Conrad" is the fourteenth episode of the seventh season of ''Family Guy''. It originally aired on Fox in the United States on May 3, 2009. In the episode, Brian's ex-girlfriend Jillian is getting married. As he tries to move on, he starts dating ''The Hills'' star Lauren Conrad and the media begins raving about their relationship. Brian is starting to think they are the perfect match, but realizes he still has feelings for Jillian. The episode was written by Cherry Chevapravatdumrong and directed by John Holmquist. Drew Barrymore returned as Jillian, and Lauren Conrad and Audrina Patridge guest starred as themselves. In her second guest appearance on the series, Conrad played a smart version of herself, which she proclaimed as being fun to play. She took the recording sessions seriously and did not do any improvisation with her lines. The show's staff was ultimately impressed with her performance, and series creator Seth MacFarlane praised her stamina and how prepared she was before the recording sessions. The episode also featured live-action sequences with talk show hosts Jay Leno, Craig Ferguson and Jimmy Fallon. "We Love You, Conrad" was met with generally positive reviews from critics, who enjoyed the episode and praised the live-action footage, in contrast to the negative reactions towards live-action clips of Conway Twitty from previous episodes. According to Nielsen ratings, "We Love You, Conrad" was watched by 6.67 million viewers in its original airing. The episode was released on DVD along with six other episodes from the season on June 15, 2010. ==Plot== The Griffins learn that Brian's ex-girlfriend, Jillian, is getting married to "the perfect man in every aspect". Peter has been asked to walk Jillian down the aisle, and the others are invited except for Brian. Feeling like he is being excluded, Brian goes to a local bar to drown his sorrows. In a drunken stupor, he meets up with Lauren Conrad, the star of ''The Hills''. However, he does not recognize her until they wake up in the same bed the next morning. Stewie becomes ecstatic when he meets Lauren. Against Brian's express wishes, Stewie leaks the relationship onto the Internet, resulting in a media circus and the claim that Lauren is a dumb blonde. Attempting to break off the relationship, Brian realizes that Lauren is a well-educated, articulate and rather accomplished woman. In fact, she is one of the most intelligent women he had ever met. Brian becomes even more uncomfortable with the relationship and tries comparing himself to Lauren. Realizing that Brian had never gotten over the end of his relationship with Jillian, Lauren encourages him to let her know about his still-strong feelings for her. Brian uses Jillian's wedding as this opportunity, interrupting the ceremony to passionately profess his love for her. Jillian, however, tells Brian (gently) that he had his chance and blew it, as she decided to move on and he needs to as well. Brian is now a miserable, single dog, unable even to go back to Lauren, who has dumped him because he gave her worms. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「We Love You, Conrad」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
