How I Met Your Mother

[HollywoodSpikeJenkins]

But no Yellow Umbrella.

In which case we're just wasting our time waiting for them to break up (see: Robin and Ted). The show's concept is funny like that because it's still really good, interesting, and funny yet terribly flawed from a continual story telling standpoint.

Don't forget, by the time spring rolls around, Robin will be living with Ted. I'd be stunned if Stella is still around past November sweeps.

I don't see it that way. The whole premise of the show is that everything we're seeing ties together in the end, and we're seeing it all for a reason.

That's the way I see it as well. Plus, I always think of the episode where Ted's parents told him the 3 second story of how they met, and he goes on this whole diatribe about how when he tells his kids the story he's going to tell them every little detail, etc, and it'll last...Seasons.

I thought it was a great episode tonight. Plenty of plot development with Ted and Stella with the Barney/Robin story still lurking in the background ready to be unleashed. Robin's dance of joy in the bathroom was just awesome. Did I catch some Robin Sparkles moves in there?

Are the episodes available at cbs.com? I missed it b/c of the Saints game, and couldn't DVR it b/c of Sara Connor Chronicles

[KingPK]

They should be.

[DrVenkman PhD]

I must be out of the loop on something - this is the second time in 8 days I've heard "and boom goes the dynamite" on TV.

 

It was funnier when Cleveland said it.

This kid filled in for the sports anchor on Ball State's student news broadcast a couple years ago and absolutely melted down. Tried doing SportsCenter shtick, but couldn't even identify people in the highlights. It culminated with a Pacers highlight where he said something to the effect of "He passes to the man... and boom goes the dynamite." It comes around 2:30 in this clip:

 

 

The whole thing spread like wildfire on YouTube. I have no idea why two different shows would be referencing it now.

[DrVenkman PhD]

I kind of remember that now.

it is I just watched it

[bob_barron]

I watched it too. Solid episode.

[HollywoodSpikeJenkins]

New York > New Jersey.

[CanadianChris]

New York >>>>>>>>>>>>> New Jersey.

 

at the "compromise" to live in Brooklyn. Also at Ted having to go to the bathroom to take a "huge New Jersey."

[Steviekick]

No way. New Jersey is an awesome place once you get south of the bridges. The best part of New Jersey is that you can get to NY or Philly in a little over an hour, then come home and be back in the suburbs.

[HollywoodSpikeJenkins]

You're full of crap. And since you're from Jersey and I'm from New York, you're full of my crap.

 

 

HA!

[DrVenkman PhD]

Funny stuff all around tonight.

 

I liked how 2009 Ted's ring-less hand was hidden behind something on the table until they announced they were going back to the apartment upstairs. Tell me I'm not the only one who immediately searches for wedding rings on hands whenever they do future jumps.

[bob_barron]

Oh man, that's one of the funniest episodes I've seen.

 

I watched it with a friend who had never seen How I Met and he was crying laughter

[CanadianChris]

80-year-old Barney was beyond awesome.

 

I wonder how they'll do the Ted/Stella breakup.

[bob_barron]

The Luongo jersey was this episode

[CanadianChris]

The Luongo jersey was this episode

God, yes.

[Jebus]

Robin seemed awfully close with Barney a year in the future...

[DrVenkman PhD]

Any time Tim Horton's is referenced on an American television broadcast, it's a thumbs up from me.

[KingPK]

As soon as I saw Lily with oven mitts on I knew there was going to be a throwdown.

 

And that had to be one of Barney's most elaborate hook-up schemes in the series' history.

[The Ghost of bps21]

Techinically speaking...doesn't Robin move into that apartment at some point soon? There's no reason that Ted, Marshall or Lilly have to live there a year in the future.

Yea, that was a cliffhanger for me. Wasn't sure who lived there. I'm assuming Robin, and as someone said she looked awfully cozy with Barney.

 

Only thing is, when Ted was telling the goat story, and said Robin had moved into the apartment, I can't remember if he implied she was living with him, or if he just said she moved into the apartment (alone) so I'll have to go back and check that out. Pretty good episode all around, and man I love Barney's hookups, the old man was just awesome.

[Craig Th]

Which episode was the goat story one? I can't remember.

 

And I'm glad Stella is going to be gone. Her and Ted together just didn't seem right. I'm guessing the internet girl is next.

[Maztinho]

That was a murderous twist. Murder I say.

[HollywoodSpikeJenkins]

Ted's 30th (or is it 31st?) birthday.
