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!!!
I am going to start off this post and say I love Neil Partick Harris, and now I am going to say WTF was Fox and American Idol thinking when they had him a guest Judge on American Idol??? Watch with Kristin confirmed that the How I Met Your Mother star sat in Paula Abdul’s old seat today in Dallas. Seriously why? I know he has Broadway experience, but what does he know about what would make a good recording artist? Again I love him, but sounds like Fox is more desperate than Dancing with the Stars to get any name they can to be on their show. Do you think he is a good choice as a temp Judge?
BTW for those of you wondering how someone from a CBS show could appear on a Fox one? HIMYM is produced by Fox.
Co-Creator of How I Met Your Mother did an interview with IGN and he told them for the 100th episode they are going to have a musical number!!!
IGN: Anything you can tease about what’s to come?
Bays: There’s a lot of good stuff. Our 100th episode is going to be this year, and we’re writing a big musical number for that. That’s going to be fun. We’re going to finally get to see Neil [Patrick Harris] and the rest of the cast show off their musical theater chops. And I think you’ll be surprised. Everyone’s seen Cobie do her thing, but Josh [Radnor] is a bit of a song and dance man and Jason [Segel] of course has written his share of music too.
IGN: Any hints as to what would cause all the characters to sing together?
Bays: It’s pure whimsy and fantasy. I think everyone at the show has pretty romantic sensibilities and it’s going to be classic, old time Hollywood, good old fashioned musical number.
Ever since I saw Neil Patrick Harris and Jason Segal sing that song from Les Miz on that show, I have been wanting them to do a musical number on the show, so I am beyond excited for the 100th episode!!! Hopefully we get another Robin Sparkles song and another slap from the slap bet on that episode too!!! Now that would be legen-wait for it-dary!!!
The set of How I Met Your Mother has another mother because Cobie Smulders had her daughter on May 16th. According to People Cobie and her fiance Taran Killamn amesd their little girl Shaelyn Cado. Imagine all the estrogen on the set now that both Alyson and her had girls.
