Put on the suit, Mr. Mosby.

How I Met Your Mother has new episodes starting Monday, but the "Fall Television" thread doesn't seem as appropriate now. So we can talk about it here!



how-i-met-your-mother-season-3.jpg




HIMYM, for those who aren't in the know, is a show about how late twenties/early thirties bachelor/architect Ted Mosby met the love of his life. Ted (voiced by Bob Saget) sits his kids down one day in 2030 to tell them, in oddly specific detail, the circumstances that led to his and their mother's union.

Because it's being narrated from over twenty years in the future, the show skips back and forth along the timeline, forgets and adds things to scenes, and really comes across as someone telling a story to you. It's also got a bunch of hilarious running jokes and catchphrases, as well as cool little plot elements that move the narrative along-- my favorite of which is the yellow umbrella (watch my favorite episode, "No Tomorrow" for that one).

Also one of the creators went to my high school, so I've got a bit of hometown pride in this show.




Also also: the ever-charming Neil Patrick Harris will be hosting SNL this weekend. I haven't really made an effort to watch it much the past couple years, but I am definitely tuning in. Here's a "Rebound Bro" reunion.


And next comes the part where we all repeat catch phrases for a couple pages.

    Dang I better hit up Netflix posthaste then.

    I really liked the New Year's Eve episode. Not Moby was great. Almost too great, really.

    Haha, the 'Put on the suit, Mr. Mosby' was the best.

    'How will I know who I'm looking for if I've never met you before?'

    "I'm not there yet."

    "Oh, okay. Let me know when you get there."

    Happy Slapsgiving Everybody

    The Slap Bet might be the best running joke ever. (Sorry about the subtitles)

    Also, was anyone else dissapointed when they did the David Caruso bit when Lily and Marshall were buying their house, and it didn't start playing the CSI: Miami theme song?
