Anyone watch "How I met your mother"?

Does anyone watch how I met your mother?

If so, what are your thoughts on the past weeks episode?

Re: Anyone watch "How I met your mother"?

  • did you notice the countdown?? 

    i never thought i would tear up at the show and i did.  =( 

  • Love that show. I thought it was really good, but I wasn't expecting the twist at the end. So sad!

  • Hit very close to home.

    And I KNEW it when the phone didn't get answered.

    I cried.

  • UGH! I was crying like an idiot. I love that show. At first I wasn't sure how I felt about them going serious, but it is something we go through at this age so...I am interested to see what they do with it...It's a fine line they need to walk about keeping the show the funny/great show it is but dealing with Marshall's dad's death...
  • i knew they were counting down to something, i just hoped it would be good news :(  when lily was getting out of the cab, i knew something bad happened. so sad!

  • Poor Marshall.  I loved the relationship between Marshall and his dad. 

    The last doppleganger was a nice twist on an emotional issue!  It would've been nice if there actually was a problem with either of them, in my opinion.  But I'm obviously biased.  :) I would assume they'll be pregnant within a few episodes now. 

    We were dying laughing at the "collection room."  Rob was always totally skeeved by everyone knowing what he was doing in there, and having some dude waiting for him to finish for his turn.  But even funnier was real life - at the IVF facility, there were several signs about how they were no longer replacing the...uh...materials, so if people kept stealing them it was only punishing themselves.  Dude, how hard up for porn are you that you steal from the fertility clinic?! Grow a pair and go to Amazing Video, or use the internet like every other guy in the world.

  • Agree about the whole him not answering the phone and immediately knowing something was wrong.  My stomach just dropped. 

    I def agree about the fine line between funny shows going serious.  I am very interested in where they are going to go with this.  I'm really hoping we get good news soon like they are pregnant!

    Another random thought about this show ... do you think we have met the mother yet?  If so, who?  Do you think if we haven't we will soon?  The characters are starting to get older and I'm wondering how much longer then will wait to get to the "how I met your mother" part?  Once he finally does, it kind of is the end of the show?  Or is it?

    I completly agree that the collection room was hysterical!!  I could imagine it would be really hard in real life to do that with all that pressure. 

  • I LOVED that episode.  I love this show in general.  Brilliantly written and BRILLIANTLY acted.  Did anyone else not really like Ted at first, but now love him?  I think his character has been hysterical this season.  The episode where he went to the museum and was picking on the blonde (can't remember her name)...OMG, he was killing me.  Poop!!

    As much as this is a sitcom, it's addressing a real life issue and I think they did it perfectly.  It's not like the whole episode focused on it, they waited until the very end and left you with it.  I'm sure by the end of the season they're going to be pregnant. 

    As for whether or not he's met their mother.  Dan and I speculate on this every week.  Dan speculated that maybe he's not talking to his kids.  Maybe he's talking to his neice and nephew...and that every time he refers to "Aunt Robin" he's actually talking about his wife??  I don't think so though.  Are we certain that the new blonde is ruled out as a possibility?

  • Oh, and don't forget, he did say that he met "their mother" in his classroom.  So I guess it can't be Zoe (that's her name I think) or Robin after all.  He met Zoe while she was protesting outside the building he was redesigning.  DAMN!

  • didnt he date his wife's roommate? remember they showed her leg when she was getting out of the shower?? 

    I just wanna know who it is!! lol 

  • Yep!  So he dated the roommate, and she's going to be in his class.  ARGH!

  • I forgot to mention...we thought it was a countdown to another slap!!!

  • This past year was the first time I started watching HIMYM ... I have watched many of the old episodes but really need to rent the first couple of seasons.  So many of these little details like that he met his wife in his classroom I didn't know.

    Wait ... isn't he done teaching now and back to being an architect! Doesn't that mean he already met his wife?

    And, can someone explain to me why Ted's grown up voice is Bob Saget?  Never understood that one :)

  • That has always been a mystery to me Candace.  He's already an adult..why does he need someone to "play his voice"?

  • Love love love the show!!  I noticed the countdown right away but wasn't sure what it was for.  I do think though that as they speeded up the countdown towards the end it coincided with building up to the moment Lily got out of the car.  I had tears rolling down my face.  Like someone else said, it is a serious topic for this show to be dealing with but it's what people our age ARE dealing with so it made sense.  I will be interested in seeing how they handle it.
  • even guillermo cried!

    this is totally our favorite show!!

  • I just read thru everything and it has put so many thoughts in my head.  Even teh thought of him not talking to his own kids, although i agree it is prob not really true, but you never know.  I hate that it is on at 8 b/c i watch it, but sometimes am not always paying attention to everything so i miss some little things.  I can't wait until tomorrow night though.
