It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

HIMYM was *awesome*. The Robin Sparkles video was pure glee: the globe! Tiffany! The breathy whispers ("I'm on the Pill now")! Also, Barney&Robin4eva!!!1! Loved Lily's friend from high school too. Man, this show just makes me so happy.

When Michelle dropped the slang and explained the reversion phenomenon after telling them about going for her psych degree, I about died.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Is it wrong that I'm watching sitcoms like they are soap operas?

The line is blurring. Largely because sitcoms now have running storylines that have nothing to do with the necessity of cast changes. (I date the trend from Rosanne.)

Punishingly Intricate

It was predictable but no less hilarious for that. As was the Lily & Marshall being the parents to teenaged Robin. Also knew it was coming but laughed like a drain anyway.

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

As was the Lily & Marshall being the parents to teenaged Robin.

Jason Segal really sold the "Not now, Ted!" line.

Frail my heart apart and play me a little Shady Grove

As was the Lily & Marshall being the parents to teenaged Robin.

"...a billion years ago!" was delivered perfectly.

Jason Segal really sold the "Not now, Ted!" line.

Yep. And, oh my, NPH sold the kiss at the end.

Hopefully this will be all laser-tags and cigars, instead of ending in tears and recriminations.

Love this.

Have you guys heard of Gavin & Stacey? - it's a show coming to BBCA (and then being reformatted for NBC.)
