How I Met Your Mother Duel Citizenship (S05E05)
CBS
5 seasons in, HIMYM continually ranks among the best comedies on TV. This epsiode was filled with hilarious Canadian jokes (which seem to be an endless well of gags for the writing team) and a great Marshall & Ted b-story. After last week’s lacklustre episode, it was great to get a classic. Who doesn’t have stories of crazy roadtrips with friends. And believe it or not, I had one with a friend who had to hit the bathroom every 5 minutes just like Lily. It had me in hysterics. Plus, we saw the return of the Hoser Hut, which is always ripe with inside jokes.

I’m sure there are those on both sides of the Stella-Ted debate, but whether you think the relationship is good or bad, you have to admit that Stella fits into the show so naturally, it almost feels like there’s no guest star at all. Recently, the HIMYM team has been throwing Stella negatives to the forefront for the obvious removal of her character from the show, which sucks. I was hoping she’d stick around somehow and maybe she will..

Great episode tonight. Barney introduced the Chinese-Indian-Mexican race and Lilly had her first Burgasm. Classic. Four seasons in, and HIMYM continues to top my list of favourite shows.
Also, did anyone else notice how short Regis is?
Million Dollar Password (S01E01)
Two things I learned tonight: 1) Rachel Ray isn’t the brightest mind around 2) Regis Philbin doesn’t know Neil Patrick Harris is gay I’m not old enough to remember the original game show Password, but I have seen an incarnation of Pyramid or $10,000 Pyramid and so I get the general idea of the game. Here’s the general idea: A celebrity is matched up with a regular person. Like charades or pictionary, they are given a word (aka password) to portray to their partner, but in this case, they can only give hints in 1 word doses. For example if the password was old, a good hint would be Regis. Is it worth watching? And why the Rachel Ray hate? Why does Doogie make everything better? All that and more after the click.

Is this proof that Stella is the Mother? (How I Met Your Mother)
In the season finale of How I Met Your Mother, there’s a sequence where Ted goes through the whole life-flashes-before-your-eyes idea. In reality, it was 70 frames of pictures from the first 3 seasons.
And tucked in between all those pictures was one interesting image that stuck out…
(and no it’s not the one of Stella..check it out after the click)
How I Met Your Mother: Miracles (S03E20 – Season Finale)
We’ve officially closed the chapter on the third season of How I Met Your Mother and it’s incredible how regularly this show manages to outwit other sitcoms. While tonight’s episode was was a plot-heavy one, there was still tonight’s gem: Barney’s Datetime Continuum.If that’s not enough to keep you reading, how about photo stills of every frame of Ted’s life-flash (including one that makes no sense!). Catch it along with the rest of the review after the click.
