Anybody else watches HIMYM? This show is possibly becoming my favorite sitcom this season. Did you watch it yesterday when Robin's dirty little secret turned out she was once.... ROBIN SPARKLES!!! A former Canadian one-hit wonder pop star singing at malls. :lol: And damn if the song and video isn't catchy. Think 80s pop music. You can see the whole video on CBS Innertube. Theres several links at CBS homepage at CBS.com. But, let me just warn you... listen to it at your own risk! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Robin Sparkles even have a MySpace page: www.myspace.com/robinsparkles

If you liked the first season, then you will love the second season. The only thing I didn't like about last season was the whole triangle with Ted, Robin, and the baker gal. It got a little too romantic-comedy for me and not so funny. It's much more of an ensemble show now. My favorite episode this season has to be the Robin Sparkles episode.

I watched all season 1 and season 2 this summer and became a huge fan!

This show is too good and smart to have laugh track. It's written as a single comedy show, so the laugh track kinda lessens it a bit.

The ending of last night's episode was hilarious with the slap bet countdown. :lol:

Enrique as "Ga-yele"......or "Gail".....or "Girl"......and Marshall "falling" for him. LMAO

Don't mind me, just popping in quickly to say how DISGUSTED I was with tonight's episode of "How I Met Your Mother."

So Ted tells his CHILDREN about the threesome he had? (And worse, calling it, lovingly, a "tricycle"?! And that he did it JUST to get a belt?) Granted, they left it open-ended at the episode's end but BECAUSE it left it open-ended made it even worse! First of all, I DON'T buy this is in Ted's character. A man who CLAIMS to be actively seeking a viable marriage partner, if truly serious, does NOT go seek actively seeking a threesome, or "tricycle," which is counterintuitive to that former mindset. And a SMART man, especially one in this age of sexually transmitted diseases, doesn't seek one from the first two bar flusies he happens to run into. And then to TELL YOUR CHILDREN about this? Yeah, like THAT'S setting a good example.

I'm THOROUGHLY and UTTERLY disappointed in this once charming show.

And I'm sending this SAME post to CBS and all the powers that be at "How I Met Your Mother" (which, by the way, is wrongly titled to begin with as several of the storylines CLEARLY have nothing to do with how Ted met his wife; if I were the kids I would have smothered myself with the pillows on the [!@#$%^&*] COUCH that they sit on as they have to listen to long-winded, lame-ass dad recount his glory days as a slutty, [!@#$%^&*] bachelor FUCKtard. I mean, how long can one story go?!!

So, looks like "Pushing Daises" is the TRUE charmer and teller of romance and true love -- without the disgusting, seedy, trampy, risky sex with strangers.

Oh, and Ted? SCREW YOU. I hope that after all is said and done, your wife leaves you, you irresponsible male WHORE.

    • Wow, I love that current and former actors are participating in this. I barely recognize Staci Greason! She looks fine, just very different. But I will be happy to hear anecdotes from her. I shipped RoJohn and Isabella hard back in the day, and I sobbed buckets in my dorm room at college when Izzy B passed. Honestly, I'm interested in everyone's stories. Drake seemed like he was well loved among the cast.
    • When she first appeared, I was sure she was setting Tyrell up for a prank. She was too much of a manic pixie dream girl- I wasn't surprised Tyrell also became suspicious. Now I'm not so sure. If Jessica genuinely likes Tyrell, it seems like a missed opportunity to not have started her out as a bully, then we see her gradually catch feelings for Tyrell.  The McBrides are definitely the "C" family of BTG. They always get last priority. There have been a few times where the Doug/Vanessa/Joey characters reference off screen conversations which seem too important to not show us. Like when Doug thanked Joey for giving him extra time to pay off the loan. When did that happen? Or when we abruptly moved from Vanessa/Joey at Uptown to Vanessa/Doug in the hotel room. The McBrides don't even have their own set - even though Vanessa is a realtor. It's a shame because I am a fan of the characters and actors.

      I am also adjusting to KR as Ted but I feel that AM and MJ had way more chemistry as father and daughter than AM and KR. We saw Eva dream of having a real relationship with MJ's version of Ted for months so it's a bit of a bummer not to have that payoff with the original actor except for those scenes in MJ's last episode.  Something I noticed about Eva today is how she takes genuine delight in being a schemer. As badly as she wants to be a Richardson, she still has so much of her mom in her. It was jarring seeing her earnestly promise to steer clear of Leslie in her scene with Ted, then immediately switch attitudes when her mom showed up.  I'm very surprised with how quickly the accident story has been moving along. I was sure that it would be months if not years before people figured out it was Leslie on the motorcycle, not to mention responsible for the potassium overdose. I'm looking forward to seeing how MVJ and Guza avoid writing Leslie into a corner.  Finally, I have been loving the Articulettes story. Bonita Brisker was just the right amount of OTT - remember Sharon is supposed to be even more angry than Tracy is. If Sharon didn't come in swinging, people would say she fell flat. The way Sharon and Tracy describe the breakup is so Supremes-meet-Original Recipe Destiny's Child. I get the sense that MVJ is re-writing the Return to Love Tour as a roman a clef, and I love it. I'm looking forward to finding out what the secret they share is. If Dante Green is as shady as Berry Gordy was, it's something dark. If/when they go through with the reunion, I expect Dante to show up and claim to own the Articulettes trademark in a Lou Pearlman-esque twist. 
    • Other than hanging out with Liz, all of Lucky's stories have been stalled out or dropped; the relationship with his son; his wanderlust. He hasn't been involved in any of the action/adventure or con artist stuff. I don't think he's even had a scene with Sidwell since the latter came to town. He's a real after thought. I doubt he's long for the show.

    • Seeing Nicole and Martin together reminds me of watching Alice with Mickey Horton in the 90s and 00s. The seem more like peers than mother and son.  The younger half of the cast (35ish and below) is playing younger, and the older half (35+) is playing older.

    • I'm anticipating most of the cast at the Nice location for a few weeks a la the Tuscan villa for Victoria and Ashland's wedding. I don't know why they bother. I'd rather see the money going into more regular home/office sets. This party has been a bust. No secrets revealed, break ups  etc. Ugly decorations and I'm going to slam the costuming again. Just the guests heaping praise on  Nikki  like she's achieved some magnificent milestone rather than just getting a year older.
