I am hoping it is because they are saving it for a punchline in a later momment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the latest episode was pretty damn good. That guy, Barney Stinson? He's awesome. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEyedGhost Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 They had better show the video at some point! It was so disappointing when they didn't show it at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G'Kar Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I hope Robin put on her resume "former Canandian teenage pop star." That shit is awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That or a marriage proposal, just so she could stay in the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current resolution is too trite, even for Barney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaxom 1974 Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 Okay. Frances Conroy rocked as Barney's mother last night. The idea of Barney having paid for a family was so wrong, yet still so right... And just for Jaime (if he's checking the thread): Barney's belief that The Karate Kid is really about Johnny, not the "nerdy kid from New Jersey"...AWESOME.

kungtotte Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Doesn't everyone watch HIMYM just to see what Barney does? I mean, sure Lily and Marshall have their moments, and Robin's canadianism is cause for a few laughs, but really, it's all about Barney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlingzen Bill Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I was hoping they would mention Old Yellar, I wanted to see who he could root for in that one. For a while it was the blond guy that he seemed to pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxom 1974 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 By the by: Laura Prepn = Awesome. Gotta admit though, that knowing Allison Hannigan is as pregnant as she is made it a little distracting tyring to catch all the ways they've hidden the bump. :P Should be fun to do with Cobie Smulders as they wind down the season now too... :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Week Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Over the last two months my gf and I have been catching up from the start and this week was the first week we caught up and watched it live. Really great show and it really is all about Barney. This week's episode was pretty solid, although college Ted really only works in small doses because I see way too many people like that on campus on a daily basis and I'm already incensed at their behavior.

HP Loveshaft Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 College Ted is tremendous, everyone knew someone like that back in college. Good times. Going a while back, but College Ted trying to organize a midnight protest against the school's 'racist' meal plan was great. "Why don't people ever come to my happenings??" I recently caught up on the series too, like Weekapaug. This is a tremendous show, and the number of callbacks and jokes within jokes really makes the show a joy to watch. Sure, Ted can be extremely pathetic and annoying at times, but the show is still fun to watch despite him (eg the Rain Dance, ugh). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that this late in the pregnancy, the bump is noticeable even if you try to cover the bottom part of her torso. A bowl of popcorn doesn't cut it any more.

Turinqui-Calima Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Ok, so I love this show now. I got the earlier seasons on Netflix and follow the new ones. Although, to be honest I didn't love season 1 that much - it was too much about Teds romances. I do like Ted, but not his dating life. I guess thats why I didn't get into the show at first. On the other hand I dont like people who thinks its all about Barney either (like I used to) cause this show has many great carachters. Am trying to convince my SO that me engraving "Legen-" and him engraving "-dary" in our wedding ringds would be AWESOME. (Don't know how serious I am, but as long as he sais No I am trying to be :P ) And Robin is hotter than Lily. Easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G'Kar Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 A gentleman's agreement. Huzzah! This show is too fucking funny for TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turinqui-Calima Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Oh yeah, todays show was hard to watch cause I could only see Barneys ear and feel the pain. Horrible. Anyways, anyone on the east coast wanna come play laser tag with me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
