I guess I'm one of the few that thought it was good. Loved the red boots thing.

Wife and I thought Britney did a pretty good job playing a wackjob. Or, she could have just been being herself...

Wasn't he also "Mr. Brown" from Diversity Day at The Office?

I liked the episode, and didn't mind Britney. Seemed consistent with what was established about her character the first time around. I think people are just averse to her by default cuz of all the media coverage about her.

Now that you mention it, mine did that too. I'd forgotten about that. I figured they started airing it a minute early.

IIRC, they basically recapped the plot where Barney gets slapped by all of the girls that he hits on after leaving them alone for a moment. As Lily told him before, a blonde girl talks to them when they are alone, and when Barney comes back, they slap him. Finally when he sees the blonde girl leaving after another girl slaps him, he chases her to a cab and realizes that it is Abby.

Jadz - My Tivo missed a beat at the beginning, too.

Pretty much an ep that revolves around Marshall and Lily is ho-hum at best.

Huh, you're right. I'd forgotten all about that.

He was. Being the ridiculously huge office fan I am, that scene was actually the highlight of the episode for me. Great actor IMO.

Also, with all of Britney's media aside (I don't keep up with it at all - it took me almost a week to realize she shaved her head last year, it made for some weird conversations until I knew lol) she is still a sucky actress in my opinion. Very high-school playish. Over all though, "Mr. Brown" and Ted saved the episode from disaster for me, and some occasional Barney lines. A downer, but hopefully a good episode next week.

Now that they will be back for another season, they better get a move-on in this plot. They almost got clipped this year without even being close to a resolution.

Tape The Big Bang Theory also and your Tivos won't miss the beginning when they start early.

Has it officially been renewed for next year? I must have missed that news as last I heard it was still on the bubble, but it has a greater than 50% chance of being back.

With respect to plot of "the mother", next week's episode:


Who knows if that advances that plot, but it could. I wonder if they didn't want to get to it so quickly that people will get bored/stop watching once she is revealed. I wouldn't, but some might.

I pretty much started watching this season and recently watched S1 and S2 on DVD... I wish they'd give him more of his catch-phrases- suit up, snowsuit up, flight-suit up, use of the word "awsesome", etc. Or maybe because I watched those seasons episodes all in a row instead of one per week it just seems like they don't.

RichC2

Yes, it has been renewed.

Tracer Bullet

Yeah, I didn't appreciate that much either. It would have been one thing if the couple had been 50+, but they looked to be in their 30s.

You mean you don't call girls about your age "honey". I don't believe it.
