Two of the biggest sparkles (and not Robin, per se) from Sunday night’s Oscar ceremony united on this week’s episode. I speak, of course, of Neil Patrick Harris and Jennifer Lopez.
It all starts with Ted telling the kids that Barney was pulled out of the Hudson River.  He starts telling the story to the cop.  [...]

And…we’re back.  Hopefully, you enjoyed the Olympics as much as I did!!  Honestly, I’m a little sad to see them go.  Still, if it means we once again get to catch up with Ted and co on the search for true love, I guess I’m all for extinguishing the flame for another two years.
Note to [...]

Super Bowl XLIV (yay, Saints!) finds Barney in Miami holding up a sign that reads “Call Barney Stinson”  with his real number.  Considering no one knew where he was, Lily calls dips on the wings.
Ah yes, the Super Bowl.  When he comes back Barney’s in possession of a magic phone that never stops ringing with [...]

For the last two weeks, Marshall’s been telling stories about his new co-worker “Jenkins.”  The guy sounds like a riot, everything from stripping at the bar to making obscene gestures behind the boss’s back. Everyone feels like they know him, but it’s not until Ted and Marshall meet Barney at a college bar that  Ted [...]

Happy 100th Episode, everyone!
I’m not usually one to pick up a show right from the beginning.  Especially on CBS.  After all, what’s the point if all the ones I like tend to find themselves cancelled before they have a chance to explain everything.   My M.O. is to pick up six weeks in and hope that [...]

I have a friend who’s currently living in China who watches the show on Monday nights and will text me on Tuesday morning with his thoughts about the episode.  Unfortunately, this week we came to the same conclusion about last night’s show:  Total Dial-In.  I mean, there were some funny parts, but the magic simply [...]

So, I know you’re probably still looking for the update from last week.  As it turns out, the rest of the country didn’t enjoy watching the ass-whooping my beloved Baltimore Ravens dished up on the Cleveland Browns (and karma being what it was, we got ours coming from the most-hated Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, anyway).  [...]

So last week, Flash Forward threw me for a loop with its surprise suicide. This week, it was How I Met Your Mother’s turn to dash all my hopes for a happy ending.  Checking the calendar, there’s obviously only one reason why.
November sweeps.
It starts with Ted telling the kids that Barney has done a complete [...]

Ted and Robin’s new neighbors have been keeping them up day and night “playing the bagpipes.” Obviously, it’s not really what they’re doing, but remember, Ted’s telling the story to the kids and despite the fact that they’re teenagers, their innocence must be protected.
So, yeah, they’re bagpiping.
Marshall and Lily, on the other hand, are not.  [...]

Ted’s telling the kids that Robin’s Canadian.  This means she dresses a little differently (summer clothes when everyone else is bundling up), talks a little different (something about a “garberator”), hung out at different bars (the Hosier Hut), and enjoyed her leisure time a little differently (cut to a fight in a bar).  Still, Robin’s [...]

Now that Ted’s officially a college professor, he’s decided that tweed is a good look.  As a girl who may have had a harmless crush on a T.A. or two in her college days, I can tell you that it was a smart move (especially if the prof looks like our man Ted).  Barney, doesn’t [...]

We start with a reaction shot of the kids, and “Old Ted” teling them that over the years, Uncle Barney’s been called a lot of names ranging from “Jerk” to “Barack Obama, Junior.”  Well, that actually was on a business card Barney was handing out himself.
But they never thought they’d hear him call “boyfriend.”
Robin tells [...]

Ted’s prepping for a blind date.  He tells the kids that in seven years, his dating routine has pretty much stayed the same, except that this date is different.  She’s the exact same girl he went out with in 2002.  I guess it’s sort of good that Jen, played by Lindsay Slone (who some might [...]

When we last left the gang at How I Met Your Mother, Robin and Barney were finally giving in to their real feelings for each other, and Ted had announced that he’d given up architecture to become a professor at Columbia.
Oh, and we also learned that when he started actually teaching, Mom would be in [...]

The Fall TV Season officially kicks off tonight, Monday, September 21, and that means all your favorite shows should be returning. If not, they will in January, unless they were canceled of course. But the new Fall season also means plenty of new shows that probably won’t last a season. With that in mind, a [...]

Neil Patrick Harris is now officially your host for the 61st annual Primetime Emmy Awards.
“After having had such a hoot hosting the Tonys, I was thrilled to get the call about the Primetime Emmys,” Harris says. “I’m looking forward to the challenge of the show — adding my own voice to it, while honoring the [...]

Neil Patrick Harris is working on a deal with CBS and the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences to suit up and serve as host for the Emmy Awards.
The deal to host the Emmys isn’t sealed yet, but Variety reports that CBS and the Television Academy want to lock Harris in “as soon as possible.”
The [...]

CBS will take the concept of “premiere week” very seriously this fall, launching nearly its entire lineup the week of Sept. 21.
The only outliers on the Eye’s launch schedule are Survivor: Samoa, which will debut Thursday, Sept. 17, and the new medical drama Three Rivers, with star Alex O’Loughlin, which will premiere Sunday, Oct. 4. [...]

Great, great episode. This is a busy time for me, so, sadly, I’ll keep this one short, but try to be my usual objectively subjective self. I’ll just do my usual gimmicky set up. This time, my super-small version of my Monday Morning Quarterback.
What a great episode. This season really has been a great step [...]

Howdy. Enjoyed your break?? Evidently, part of President Obama’s agenda was to give loyal Mother viewers an extended period of rest. Either way, since I am a glass-half full type, I will spin that despicable un-American act, that of seperating fans from their TV shows, into a positive, as now it gets us one less [...]
