Saw the pilot. It reminded me of Friends so will be watching the next ones... Hooked so far!

Next to NBC's The Office, methinks this is the best sitcom currently on-air. This video ought to convince the uninitiated.

Let's go to the mall!

I still can't figure out how Joss Whedon is connected to this show.

I just started watching my Season One boxed set.

This is easily the funniest traditional sitcom currently on air. Yeah, I think the Friends comparisons are accurate. I haven't enjoyed a sitcom this much since maybe Friends' first season. I mean, it's so good that I think I can soon watch Neil Patrick Harris and no longer think: "Doogie Howser."

Not yet though, but maybe soon.

Maybe because Willow is in it. And three episodes back, Inara played a barista. The same episode also featured Buffy's Andrew.

Aside from Friends, the show seems to be inspired by the clever storytelling and innovative camera work of the BBC's Coupling as well.

I'm nearly done with season 1. It was just okay for me until The Pineapple Incident which I think is when it really took off. I also see where this can be compared to Coupling and the aforementioned episode in fact reminds me of a great one from Coupling: Remember This.

...and now I'm listening to Slipper When Wet.

"Shot through the heart..."

This is scheduled to begin in Star World on May 31 at 8pm.

Edited to add: I didn't know it's on ETC as well. 8:30pm on Mondays. It shows the 4th episode of season 1 this week.

Season 2, Episode 22: Something Blue - Season finale
One couple got hitched. The other broke up. Barney as usual steals the show. It would be a long wait for that two syllables: da-ry!

My son and I did a marathon of this early summer. Loved it.

This song was blasting at our neighbor's house and my son heard it and said si Swarley daw yun.

Reuven Malter · « **Reply #11 on:** Sep 25, 2007 at 08:17 PM »

It references the classic episode, Slap Bet from last season. I wasn't able to track it down but Barney still owes Marshall a few more slaps for losing a bet.

oh yeah.. now i remember.. i thought barney chose "the one big slap" over the "5 slaps but not knowing when it's going to happen" thing.. got to have the season 2 dvd to refresh my memory..

Best episode from previous season: Robin Sparkles, teen pop star. Let's Go To The Mall. Search for the music video on youtube.

And ETC was stupid enough to spoil the surprise. They were showing parts of the video as a promotional clip. Idiots.

X-®an™ · « **Reply #15 on:** Oct 06, 2007 at 12:42 AM »

The slap bet was an instant classic... I think Barney owes Marshall 3 more slaps.

Oh and btw, Ted initially think he won the break-up because of Mandy? What's up with that?

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #16 on:** Mar 06, 2008 at 12:02 PM »

How I Met Your Mother's "Mother" is rumored to be coming before the end of this season (or will this be the end of the series, already?), and it's allegedly...

Alicia Silverstone.

No wonder Ted's so hung up on Robin. Robin's way hotter.

Britney meets Your Mother

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #18 on:** Mar 12, 2008 at 09:24 PM »

And because Britney's doing a guest appearance, Alicia Silverstone dropped out. She knew her "special appearance" would be upstaged.

What? I read about Alicia's multi episode arc on TV Guide online. Was looking forward to it. Too bad... Geez they should just drop Britney and bring back Mandy Moore to appease Ms. Silverstone.

Would be cool to have Drew Barrymore as the Mother instead

And Robin Sparkles has a second music video!

I can't wait for the next DVD so we can see it in full.

I really enjoyed this week's episode, but WTH accent was Dawson trying to pull off?

Apparently, fans have been wishing for it since the zip, zip, zip episode of season 1. I'm somewhat indifferent at the moment but curious to see what the writers plan to do. Hopefully, it's something we haven't seen before.

More than the accent, I'm very concerned about the fact that his forehead seems to grow an extra inch every year.

Oh... so that was who he was... didn't recognized at first coz of that distracting forehead.

The first time I heard it, I turned to my wife and said, "Do you know anyone from work who talks like that, 'cause I certainly don't!"

Even Newfies don't talk like that. heheh

And if I recall correctly, the dude really had a lot of real estate space in his forehead even back in his Dawson's Creek days.
