Hmmm... If Saget can be filthy, I might watch that.

HIMYM went downhill when it started being Friends for a new generation. Has the current season improved over the last two?

NPH seems like a cool guy.

But his Barney character is reprehensible. He's not funny, he's annoying.

Episode #1?

Episode #1?

I refuse to acknowledge the existence of the prequels.

Tat'dGreaser: DjangoStonereaver: I was merely speaking vis a vis my own personal preference for curvy women.

Despite this preference, I find her extremely alluring. Keira Knightley and
Olivia Wilde also fall into this category for me.

Well it's not just you, it's this site. It's almost funny because people rally on here to prop up larger women and make them feel better and in the same breath they try and tear down women who are naturally skinny. Not saying you are! Just the idiots here do that.

My name is mynameisdouglas, and I am against both fat acceptance and bulemia.

I thought we just tore down everyone, especially the ink'd.

/skinny? Got ink? GET' EM!!!!!

I'd like to see the spinoff where the kids get therapy from years of their father explaining in detail about all the women he farked before he met their mother.

That's very open-minded of you to acknowledge your attraction to gorgeous movie stars.

I'm a sensitive man.

Chicks dig that.

No doubt. We prefer to be called broads though.

I called a chick a broad once. She smacked me and said "Don't call your mother a broad."

WHY US TV. WHY?

Quit beating crap to death. Follow the UK model. Punch out a few great seasons. Wrap it up nice and tidy and leave it. Like an extended mini-series or something.

Before I met your Father: Follow the Antics of the mother and all of her New York friends.
You have Hernando: The aspiring TV News anchor from Mexico.
Ivy: The high school teacher who is always having problems with school. Who is married to
Rick: The loveable doctor who battles constantly with wanting to do volunteer work and making money.
Then there's the loveable Albert Montgomery. A bisexual corporate climber looking to hook up with anyone even though is heart is in the right place. Known my his catch phrase Awe - wait for it - Some.
And then there's Mom: The formerly slutty aspiring actress that has since returned to college for her degree in civil engineering!

Coming to a CBS near you.

If it involves Alyson Hannigan then I'm in.

DjangoStonereaver: Since NPH came out of the closet, they have sure amped up Barney's
stereotypical horndoggieness

They're compensating more than an ashamed gay man would.

Never really watched the show... is it any good and worth the time to go through the backlogs of seasons on netflix?

PsyLord: Never really watched the show... is it any good and worth the time to go through the backlogs of seasons on netflix?

It's syndicated at the moment on a few channels if you have cable. I've caught a few episodes and have enjoyed them. You could use that as your barometer, they're not very spoilery if that matters to you.

I've been watching the show since the beginning and yes, it has gone downhill in the last couple of seasons. That being said, it's still craploads better than most of the new sitcoms coming out these days, like Whitney, Two Broke Girls, etc.

I just really wish that Robin and Barney wouldn't get back together, possibly because I don't think they work well together and possibly because I think Robin is the weakest character in the show. I'm still holding out hope that Barney ends up with Nora at the end but I'm not sure how likely that is.

I should know better since, judging from the rest of this thread, I'm supposed to be snarky or comment on the hotness of Cobie or Alyson but I still enjoy the show for the most part.

Alright fine, here's a picture of (IMO) the hottest person on the show:

Continuing Darkscout's theme:

Skippy and the Teacup Pig (Skippy's future self narrates his rise to fortune as a hog farmer and desperate search for true love. With Allison Hannigan in a recurring role as the one he can't have... right now.)

Stella and Tony Take LA (Tony's small-screen adaptation of "The Wedding Bride" is a smash hit. But can a dermatologist and a karate-instructor-turned-sitcom-producer make it in the Hollywood Hills?)

Dowistrepla Housewives (Lilly, Robin, and Your Mother in underhanded cat fights, clandestine affairs, and disturbing less than normal plot lines drive this dark comedy. Critics agree- it stinks, but only when the sewage treatment plant is in operation)

It's a Thing! (Barney and a prehistoric shape-shifting alien mimic will bang, bang, a-bangity bang their way across New York- and The Universe!)

Marshall and Lilly's Crooked Apartment (Same as the old show, only the narrators will be Marshall and Lilly's geriatric selves disagreeing about how every story went, and some cast original members will be missing or filled by other actors due to salary negotation issues. Look for Juliette Lewis's satisfactory, but not terribly inspiring take on the Robin Sherbotsky role to cause widespread division among fans)

Licking Liberty (Wacky antics of a group of security guards in Philadelphia's Liberty Plaza. Series premiere will be a tie-in via a longer version of the HIMYM episode where Ted and Barney lick the Liberty Bell. Narrated by Bob Saget in a Ben Franklin costume)

The show, once fairly cool, is now not unwatchable, but certainly forgettable.

And they've invoked a special clause of The Moonlighting Effect.
Only in this case, when the Mother shows up, all the rest of the suspense around the show kind of deflates as the viewers go
"Is that all?" Her?

That's why there's so much pressure on the actress, I get it. But I'm saying that, at this point, it almost doesn't matter which actress they get, it'll be essentially stunt casting.

It might as well be Lady Gaga.

For the same reason people complain about Firefly.

"Oh no, Simpsons won't end. US TV sucks"

"Oh no, Firefly ended too soon. US TV sucks"

Some farkers just like to complain.

But generally I agree with you. Other than The Simpsons and Robot Chicken, I rarely stick with a show past 3 or 4 seasons.

They won't introduce the mother.

The final episode will show the back of her head as she's being introduced and when she turns around? Sopranos ender.

PsyLord: Never really watched the show... is it any good and worth the time to go through the backlogs of seasons on netflix?

Yeah, it's a fun show. The central premise annoys me because I really don't give a shiat how that guy met his future wife, but the rest of it is good.

BilltheThrill: [lulz.com image 225x556]

Um, you know she's 25 right? Not even on the cusp of Chris Hanson territory. Even when the show first started she was already 18 so I'm confused by your post.

/Had to look all that up

How I made a show out of four people sitting at a table in a diner, trading bad one-liners punctuated by laugh track bursts.

This show is huge, bro. I host a gay friendly MMA sparring night and ppl in dat group r all ova this show. Naw, I ain't gays but NTTAWWT. So, we had a party last year and watched this show at the party & I gots ta say, I ain't fan cuz I think it be obvious how itz gonna end. Dat guy, not Doug Howser, the guy who Bob Saget speak for, he gone marry the pretty brunet gurl.

...And this, ladies and gentleman, is what it looks like when someone rapes a dictionary. Oh sure, it starts out with drink and a few misspellings. But by the end of the night, the dictionary lays weeping behind a bush, most of it's vowels gone, never to be whole again.

Maybe the big twist will be that Ted discovered that he's gay and the mother is Dave Coulier.

I'm betting it'll be a back-of-the-head ending, too. You know how they do commercials with dead people (e.g. Fred Astaire? I'd like to see them dig up footage of some 1950's housewife and insert her into the ending. First thought was Alice from the Honeymooners.


Or... I'd be onboard with the gay Ted and Dave Coulier thing.

Bwahaha! According to his profile, he's 21 and actually does MMA. Dude, just come out already -- you'll find all the acceptance you need. In your private MMA bouts, is that with our without actual penetration?
"Gay-friendly MMA" might be the most redundant term I've seen in years.

Carth: HIMYM went downhill when it started being Friends for a new generation.

When wasn't it Friends?

Fark these New York yuppies looking for love shows. They are all the same crap. That Ted character is one of the biggest pussies in the history of television.

theorellior: Hah! I never noticed the actress' name before. Where do they come up with these stage names? That sounds like a manservant from a Jane Austen novel.

"She was named after her Spanish-Dutch great-aunt, Jacoba, for which she gained the nickname "Cobie"."

Link (new window)

Googling is hard.

I really enjoy this show, but I was happy that it was supposedly going to end with season 8. I don't really need a stupid spinoff or for it to continue past the sell-by date.

U mad, bro? I got love for u. I didn't say nothing about u. I keep it positive & I ain't ur show. If ppl in dat gay community like da show & so do others than I ain't gone stop them. I MAY change the channel in the gym 2 something educational like Cash Cab or Who Still Standing but that don't mean I'm against ur things, bro.

I am certainly not exasperated with you, however I would question your assertion that we share a blood relation. And your proclivity as to which television program to purvey while exercising at the gymnasium is also not what I was critiquing. My only concern was how you have seemingly taken the English language and treated her like a concubine in the court of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang

Cut. It. Out.

Just put Best In The World on ignore and be done with it. The account was created just one week ago, and has already caught my attention for being the second most obvious, fictitious personality (after the legendary meow said the dog) in the history of these forums.

Every post begins with some quote from Bartlett's which is tangentially related to the headline/article, and is followed with a full paragraph of urban-tinged Twitterspeak.

The profile only confirms the blatant trollery.

Don't bother responding to someone who is clearly masquerading.

"Is it worth it to go back and watch on Netflix?" Like other people have said, it's on TV ALL THE TIME. Watch 10 episodes - if you think it's funny, watch the rest. Personally, I say no - it can be sporadically funny, but there is so much other stuff you could watch instead. If you're looking for comedies to watch on Netflix, "Better Off Ted" should be your first choice. Then catch up on "Happy Endings". And maybe this makes me weird, but I think "My Boys" was consistently more amusing than "HIMYM", and without all the terrible stunt casting. Britney Spears? Really?
