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

Clearly those four leads are talented people. What did they all do wrong to explain Dads? Like, why didn't a script that awful get made with worse actors? I don't see them getting into any grooves if the material stays this charming, and no one is elevating shit.

I mean, pot brownies episode 2?

Maybe it's some kind of calculated shot at lowest common denominator? Somebody thinking that if crap is popular maybe making a particularly crappy sitcom will be a winner?

Kinda hurts to watch, whatever the root cause.

Brooklyn 99, otoh, is working for me. Granted, getting to see Andre Braugher play a cop again goes a long way, but the rest of it could have ruined that and didn't, so, yay.

I liked Brooklyn Nine-Nine, too.

Continuing my catching up on Tuesday night comedies: New Girl came back strong, but I'm not sure about adding James Franco to Mindy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, this last season of How I Met Your Mother is going to kill me.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I really liked the premiere episodes, especially that last scene. I didn't expect them to give us a Ted/Mother scene so early, but it was a smart choice because now I really care about watching him finally fucking meet her. They're adorable together.

I though they were both annoying! Both episodes, not both Ted and The Mother. She was OK.

Hey. New board.

I liked them. Not the greatest but no more annoying than himym is normally.

I was already annoyed last season, and was just going to see it out, and then they sprung another season on me! Maybe I should just skip the next 16 episodes.
