If it weren't for the possibility that this is the last season I'd give up on this show. Tonight was downright terrible, even Bob Odenkirk didn't help. The characters in no way resemble anything from previous seasons. Just one dimensional jokes at this point.

Better than last week's but still average at best. There were a few great ones last season, hopefully they've got a few for us this season as well.

Didn't hate it, but I didn't laugh either.

I've never bad mouthed the show before but I can't help it with this one.

Terrible and not funny ven a little bit. These characters are a shell of what they were

I guess I'm in the minority, but I thought it was great. Better than last week, and felt like the show always has. Barney's back to being single, so I'm sure we'll get a bit of his old self next week before they start his reunion with Robin.

No more Becki Newton is a shame though. I guess we'll see her at midseason on FOX.

Yeah I thought it was pretty good also. Actually laughed while watching for the 1st time in awhile when Barney got shocked.

Awful. I felt like I was watching a generic CBS sitcom, which is something I've always defended this show from being. Jesus christ... I hate when shows go on too long and it just makes me hate them. I hate that I dont enjoy The Office anymore. I hate the Entourage ended on a low note. I hate that Rescue Me was draaaaagged on. This really better be the last year. I did like that they brought back the Honka Honka joke though.

I haven't caught this show in a while, but I watched "by osmosis" as the wife tuned in last night.

It was bad.

I mean, "Rules Of Engagement" bad. "'Til Death" bad.

Hmm... I didn't think it was good, but I didn't think it was as bad as everyone else. Bob Odenkirk looks completely different in this than he does in BB.

I watch this but have to admit as time goes by it gets pretty stale. At this point I don't care who his mother is. And Robin seems to be passed around like a passed out whore at a frat party.

Big improvement over last week but that's not saying much. The highlight for me was Robin getting turned on by herself on the news. Then her boyfriend being totally cool with it and rushing out of the intervention.

I hope that when they finally get to the reveal that they bring back the kid actors at their current age since it's been an eternity since Ted started this story.

Robin being turned on by watching herself was funny, as were Lily's and Nick's differing reactions.

Klaus was much funnier in this episode.

Victoria looked amazing with the new hair.

I guess I didn't see it last week, but I noticed that Eric Falconer and Romanski (the creators of Blue Mountain State) are now co-executive producers.

So that explains why the past two episodes have been pieces of shit.

any chance that HIMYM and Breaking Bad are in the same universe and Barney's lawyer really is Saul Goodman?
because that would be legend

Wow, the last two seasons of Lost thinks you fans are being a little hard on this show.
Yeah,it's gone a little soft in the middle, but what do you expect after 8 years? I thought this was a pretty fun episode. I've never enjoyed it when it got mawkish.
