Fresh off his awesome job of hosting the Emmys, Neil Patrick Harris is doing what he does best…starring on How I Met Your Mother tonight at 8p! HIMYM starts out by wrapping up last season’s finale cliffhanger and we find out if Ted’s future wife is in the class he is teaching and if Barney and Robin are dating. Well at least we sort of find out! You will just have to check out how much we find out in this hilarious episode that proves How I Met Your Mother just gets better with age. Seriously you going to LYAO when you see the big blunder Ted makes on first day of teaching, let’s just say it is legen-wait for it-dary! Plus you will love how Lily tries to get Barney and Robin to have the talk. Oh and will find out who uses the whip in Marshall and Lily’s relationship, the answer will surprise you tonight on CBS at 8p!!!
Following How I Met Your Mother on CBS at 8:30p is the premiere of Accidentally on Purpose. The only new sitcom coming to CBS this season stars Jenna Elfman as Billie a thirty-something woman who gets knocked up after a one night stand with a much younger man. Her friend, Ashley Jensen and her sister are there support her as she asks her cub/baby daddy to move in with her. By asking him to move in, she winds up also having his immature friends to hang out there too. Billie is also dealing with the breakup of her ex-boyfriend/boss (Grant Show) who told her he wasn’t ready to commit, but now he is telling her that he is but he doesn’t know she is pregnant by another man. Sounds like a sitcom for the year 2009, and it will be interesting to see if this one will make it to 2010?
CBS has pretty much had one hole in their Monday two-hour comedy block and that one show has always survived because it aired after Two and a Half Men. But this year they changed it up and gave both of Chuck Lorre’s show 2.5 and The Big Bang Theory the 9p hour leaving Accidentally on Purpose to follow HIMYM which has its loyal audience but not the ratings that 2.5 gets. So it will be interesting if people will stay tuned to watch AoP after HIMYM. And now that Jenna Elfman is almost 4 months pregnant and will need to take maternity leave before the end of the season, it will be interesting to see if they will rush production to beat the baby or just end the show’s run early and replace it with Rules of Engagement that by some miracle got picked up for another season???
BTW did I mention that Two and a Half Men and The Big Bang Theory are back tonight! I can’t wait to see how much more risque TBBT gets with its new later timeslot of 9:30p!!!
Before there were 8 Simple Rules you needed to know about dating Kaley Cuoco, she was just a little girl in My So-Called Life looking forward to seeing her dad. There is only glimpse of the 8 year old actress in that 1994 episode that makes me recognize her, otherwise I would not have known the same actress who plays Young Angela grew up to be Penny on The Big Bang Theory!!!

Last night Simon Helberg aka The Big Bang Theory’s Howard Wolowitz went to the Saturn Awards and I totally didn’t recognize him. Seriously how different does he look without that Spock hair and those extremely tight clothes that he wears on the show. Dare I say it, he is actually kind of sexy!!! Maybe next season they can write in Howard Wolowitz’s successful womanizer cousin that he aspires to be and have Simon play the role dressed like that? I want to see him looking more like that, although he is perfect as Wolowitz too!!!
Before Jim Parsons was the adorable socially awkward genius on The Big Bang Theory, he was raised by wolves in a Quiznos ad! How precious was the 30 year in that 2003 ad? BTW how hot does he looks in suit as compared to the tight T-Shirts he has been wearing on TBBT!
Chuck Lorre’s two hysterical comedies The Big Bang Theory and Two and Half Men were both picked up by CBS for multiple years! The Big Bang Theory, the show that gets better with each episode was picked up for two years! And the always funny and frisky Two and Half Men got picked up for three!!! Now if only CBS would give the How I Met Your Mother a multiple year renewal I would be a very happy girl…largely because of all the laughs I would get from all the shows!!!
BTW after reading Chuck Lorre’s Vanity Card after Monday’s The Big Bang Theory, it is nice to see he has two shows he actually loves working on unlike some of the others…
