Hmmm....says there are 11 comments on the main page, but I don't see any here. Well here's to hoping this blurb of mine doesn't disappear after posting. This was an all around great episode (although I'm starting to feel like Marshall and Lily are just being used as filler so far this season, I'm slightly worried about where the writers can go with fresh ideas for them). Some favorite moments: Bowl...bowl....bowl Cover Hog!!! "I've gotta find a way to reach this kid!" "When you see that face, don't take a picture of it, because she will punch you, and you will cry...for the third time... that night." Overall, a solid episode in developing the BaRobin (still like RoBarn better) angle. My biggest laugh came from when Robin stormed into the classroom and Ted pointed out the flared nostril ridges and wide unblinking eyes. Gotta love teacher Ted.

I would agree with you, but I think lots of people up until this season still held out hope that Ted and Robin would end up together (even with her being referred to as Aunt Robin since the pilot). I know Bays and Thomas will make it work, as they have in the past, it's just an interesting predicament that they have to deal with now that they dropped such a huge hint on the mother's identity. I have the utmost confidence for the show to still be legendary, I just knew in the back of my mind throughout the episode that there was no way this girl could be the Mother, even though they were having a really nice time with each other. Can't wait to see how everything progresses.

Don't think this has been posted yet, but solid ratings for Episode 2 (8.73 million viewers 3.6/10 18-49 demo). HIMYM is performing better than BBT did last year in the same slot with much tougher competition (House). Definitely a great sign for the longevity of the show. As for this episode, it was good but not great. I would agree that it is Ted's sensitivity that sets him apart as a great character that we are emotionally invested in on the show. Anyone else feel like any girl Ted dates right now is a dead-end? I mean, we know that the mother was in the class that he made a total fool of himself in, so any girl he's going on a date with definitely isn't the mother because they definitely would have remembered him for something that happened so recently if they were in fact in the class. It's almost like Bays and Thomas have lost their option of tricking us into thinking someone is the mother (like they did with Stella). What does everyone else think about this?

Maybe I need to rewatch the episode, but wasn't the girl who nodded her head to professor having one F black? If Ted's wife is in fact black, their two kids didn't get any of their mother's genes because those are two of the whitest kids I've ever seen.

Solid episode... here's some of my favorite moments -Right as Brad is leaving the booth, a smiling Marshall raises his arm to say goodbye but Brad is already gone. Looks like Marshall still has a slight man crush on his former brunch bro. -The music for when Barney and Robin were in the bedroom proclaiming their feelings for each other I believe was the same song they played when Barney was going to tell Ted that he was in love with Robin but ended up running into Robin instead and having to tell her that he loves tacos. That was a great scene last season, and I'm glad they pulled that same song for this moment this season. -Everything about Ted's teaching segment was hilarious... "Who invited their dad?" and "SILENCE!!!" stand out as the top moments. I love how the writers let us in on the joke before Ted finds out, allowing the viewer to really enjoy Ted burying himself up there. Can't wait for next week. My friends are indeed back... -Mike

Have You Met Ted - The How I Met Your Mother Blog : TVGuide picks Neil Patrick Harris to Win Emmy for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy

If Mother takes it, I might pass out. I'm hopeful that all the Emmy exposure and NPH hosting will lead to some solid ratings. The show is a half an hour earlier, and isn't paired with BBT anymore, so it definitely has a chance to prove itself as a solid anchor show on Monday nights, I hope it comes through.

Thu, 23 Jul 2009 18:42:03 +0000

All I can say is, I'm super stoked for the best comedy nod, and even more stoked for Piven being outed in the Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy category. JMO, but Jeremy Piven isn't even close to being in the same league as NPH. With hosting duties to bolster it, I say NPH finally gets what he deserves this year, an Emmy victory. As for HIMYM, I'd love to see it win, but my money is on 30 Rock. I personally don't care for the show, but the academy seems to be in love with it.

Big Bang got moved to the slot after Men. CBS will be launching a new comedy starring Jenna Elfman in Mother's old spot. I personally think the show will be fine. Ratings were solid this past week without the BBT Lead-In.

JD... Wow, can't believe I got number 5,000! The funny thing is, I actually already own the Bro Code, but I'd be happy to accept another copy to give to a friend. What I really would like is to know is where they got that yellow umbrella from and how I can get one, so if you get that info, consider us all square! But really, congratulations on 5,000. When I first discovered HIMYM a year ago, this was a site that helped get me really into the show by picking up on all the little things that go on in it. You do an amazing job, and you can't be thanked enough for it. Congrats!

As for this upcoming episode, looks like it should be a good one. And congrats on the 5K comments, just goes to show how well-written your blog is and how many people enjoy reading it.

Have You Met Ted - The How I Met Your Mother Blog : Yahoo is Wrong, Stella is Not the Mother

Tue, 5 May 2009 16:30:23 +0000

This was actually on the Yahoo home page as well under featured articles (under the link, it specifically says " "How I Met" reveals the mother", and has since moved to the entertainment tab on the front page). This is going to confuse a lot of people who don't know about great sites such as this one...very frustrating.
