Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I noticed this about Raising Hope:

Speaking of Raising Hope, starting next Tuesday, Fox will double pump originals of the comedy in the 8 PM hour until Hell’s Kitchen arrives in March. Raising Hope will wrap its third season with an hourlong finale behind American Idol on March 28. In light of the pending departure of creator/showrunner Greg Garcia, who has two pilots in contention at CBS, the show’s long-term prospects are unclear, though the blue-collar comedy has been consistently funny and a solid ratings performer.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I didn't realize Greg Garcia was leaving the show. If it does get renewed, it will be interesting to see if it will still be as good without him.

Having just watched the last episode of Raising Hope, I'm blown away by consistent the love is on it. It's just so charming, and the way they're convinced that Frank will hate him while they're still loving him...it's adorable.

Poor Hope, though. Those twins have less and less to do. I wonder if they even still need both of them at this rate...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

HIMYM: Barney has a half sister?

It's been implied that she will be the Mother. Hence, Uncle Barney and Uncle Robin.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Community: "Human Sexuality" is where I think Troy and Abed became Troy and Abed. The previous ep, with Fieval, Troy was still hung up on the Troy-centric model of friendship ("You're MY friend") and in Human Sexuality, Troy starts off trying to compete with Abed, but realizes that it's not what their friendship is all about. This ep ends with Abed tenderly reading Troy to sleep with a science textbook and tucking him in.

Surprisingly decent Pierce advice/conversation with Jeff at the end. I also enjoyed the Reverse Porky's shenanigans the ladies got up too. They had the lighthearted sex romp storyline, and the dudes got the relationship stuff.

It's been implied that she will be the Mother

And now she's not. Take that, fandom!

Hey. New board.

Doesn't the narrator also say Aunt Lily and Uncle Marshall? Because that would certainly argue against that stretch-of-a-theory.

Gris beat me to it. My original statement was because I don't remember a half-sister mentioned before. Is she his father's daughter?

Thrive to spite them

I'm pretty sure the narrator refers to Aunt Lilly and Uncle Marshall. Besides it's fairly common for the close friends of parents to be referred to Aunt or Uncle.
