Remember When Ted and Robin Were a Couple? The How I Met Your Mother Surprise

So, Ted and Robin broke up. You know, Robin's not the kind of girl who settles down. And Ted seems a little too traditional to her, anyway.

But it was two great episodes. You know I kind of forgot to write about them because I saw them about three weeks ago.

And I certainly can't believe that the network would do anything stupid like not pick it up for next season. I'm pretty sure this show is safe.

What I'm really looking for is an Emmy nomination for Neil Patrick Harris.

I hope that every member of that nomination committee clicks here, or just watches this below:

A Great HIMYM -- You Just Gotta Check it Out

The last nine minutes alone are worth spending the time tomorrow at Innertube and checking this ep out if you didn't see it.

The scenes with Barney and Bob Barker are priceless.

Well, I'm gonna check in on Old Christine. And anyway, Homer's laying next to me protesting the keyboard sound with audible moans.

I Have Seen the Last Two "How I Met Your Mother" Episodes of This Year

Yes, I have, because of those nice people at the network (thanks, Jennifer). The DVD came while I was in Oklahoma, and I popped it in almost immediately.

I am not going to give you spoilers, but I will tell you that everything that happens in the episodes "Something Borrowed" and "Something Blue" will set up the next season and possibly seasons to come. Very important decisions are made. The titles of the episodes are fitting, very fitting, but I'll never tell why. I will tell you this, this is NOT a wedding that goes off without a hitch. I will also ask you to "check out the frosting." What does that mean? I'll never tell. Oh, and one more thing ... there are moments where you are lulled into a false sense of security as a viewer and then the rug is pulled out from under you and your entire HIMYM universe is upended. Oh my!

Spent a few minutes after contemplating after the show and of all the shows that could have picked up after Friends and run with a story of twenty-somethings in NYC, this one is the most effective. And even as a (mumbly-mumble) year-old man (okay, 46!) I still enjoy watching what people this age might do because they live in a world where many things are possible. There's a hope about that time in a younger person's life (well, younger than me, anyway) that I'm drawn to.

So, to salute the year that it was on HIMYM, I thought I'd post the Robin Sparkles music video again:

Check out how Robin says the word "about." Can you say aboot? How Canadian!

If you're not watching the show, introduce yourself to it today on CBS Innertube (link will open in a new window).
