Experimental TV: Comedy  

This thread is part of an experiment to determine Buffistas' interest in television discussion. It will close on June 1st, 2007, after which there will be a brief skirmish to sort out what we want to do next. This thread is for discussion of all comedy, regardless of airing station. [NAFDA]

Regarding HIMYM, I've heard unfortunate rumors that it might not get picked up for another season

Nooooo! Damn you low channels! You fucking wasteland of CSIs and L&Os. King of Queens gets 9 seasons?!? Nine!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I've heard unfortunate rumors that it might not get picked up for another season -- its numbers aren't terrible, but apparently one of the new higher-ups at CBS just doesn't like the show and wants it off the air.

WHAT?!?!? Who do we send the... suits? telephone booths? dogs? ... to??

Art Crawl!!!

I've heard the HIMYM is on the bubble too. CBS upfronts are tomorrow. Perhaps we'll hear leaked information before then.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Who do we send the... suits?

Heh -- somehow, I don't think a lack of suits is the problem. We should send blue French horns!

The leaked info I've heard so far have HIMYM returning to the 8pm timeslot. Really, it seems all the rumors about HIMYM being on the bubble originated with one columnist and just spread like crazy from there. Nobody else, as far as I can tell, has talked about the "bubble"ness independently.

We'll find out tomorrow for sure.

Speaking of blue French horns, one awesome continuity bit that was pointed out: in Showdown, the blue French horn is indeed gone from Robin's apartment.

Punishingly Intricate

I have just watched the last two HIMYM eps and now I have to go back and see them all I think. funny stuff!

But, dag, why the laugh track?? It seems so dated to me.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

I heard the other day HIMYM is safe.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Gosh, I hope so. I can't think of any other sitcom I enjoy more than HIMYM. I relate to it so much.

It was a nice way they played the wedding, with the last three eps--cutting in and out and constructing different stories. I so enjoy this show.

And Barney, so excited to have his dude back! And the way he was so invested in what happened with them!
