HIMYM - Splitsville...Finally?

I have been remiss in mentioning my favorite show lately (ya'll know its How I Met Your Mother).  Frankly the episodes have been forgettable and not as laugh out loud funny as in the past (remember The Naked Man, Whoo Girls, 3 Day rule etc...).  But last night, while it was not laugh out loud funny, this episode moved us closer to the goal of the show (no not finding the mother, the reconciliation of Barney and Robin).  And Nick, played by Michael Trucco, really was cute with his hot, dumb character. 

I have read the comments, perused the blogs and know that many people are sick of the show and think it has run its course.  I, on the other hand, am still invested in these characters and want to see them happy.  Plus there are still those episodes that are so creative and funny (plus NPH people) that I cannot turn away. 

I laughed last night (no not guffawed but I did laugh) and I was moved by the final scene with Barney and Robin.  We are getting there people just don't give up just yet. 

How I Met Your Mother - The Barnman and Robin?

Do not read this if you have not watched tonight's season finale of How I Met Your Mother....

I am so excited!  I know that the people on this show are not real but I feel as if I know Marshall and Lily, Ted, Barney and Robin.  So I spent the evening watching my friends have a baby, get engaged to the wrong woman, run off with the wrong woman, and eventually marry the right woman (I hope). 

As previously stated, Marshall and Lily finally gave birth to their son.  It took Marshall awhile to arrive but he finally made it to greet Marvin Waitforit Erickson into this world (coolest middle name ever).

We then watched Robin give Ted a pep talk about the one that got away (Victoria) and he called her.  Victoria agreed to meet up with Ted, in her wedding gown no less and they had a little chat.  Next thing we know Ted and Victoria are running off together.  Really?????

And then there was Barney (and Quinn).  They were off to Hawaii but first Barney got stopped by security with a suspicious looking box that just so happened to have an engagement ring in it for Quinn.  No!!!!!!!

Fast forward into the future and we once again get a glimpse of Barney's wedding day but we finally get to see the bride and it is....wait for it....Robin!  Yes!  And all is right with the world. 

What did you think?  Anyone?  Anyone? 

Did anyone watch HIMYM last night?

I have not spoken about one of my favorite shows yet this season but last night's episode of How I Met Your Mother was too good for me to ignore.  The episode was a flashback to how the gang dealt with Hurricane Irene along with Barney and the ducky tie mixed in.  For those of you who watched a few of my favorite tidbits...for those of you who don't or didn't watch, you would not get it anyway. 

Ted's pink rain boots and his "be prepared" boy scout attitude.
Marshall being killed by a bear.
Barney pretending to be Robin's dad using his best Star Wars voice.
Slap bet continues....
The fact that Marshall and Lily conceived their baby in Barney's bathroom.
and of course the end all...Barney and Robin hooking up at the end of the show. 

Did I miss anything?  What did you think?  Are you a fan of Robin and Barney or do you hate them together?  What will happen next week with the significant others.  Stay tuned.

Shout Out to How I Met Your Mother

We still don't know who the mother is. And we have no idea what is going to happen with Barney and Robin. But last night's episode of How I Met Your Mother was strangely satisfying. Between Robin "Mosbying" Barney (telling someone you love them to scare them off), Marshall attempting to jump buildings, and Ted wrestling with a goat; the episode was a great ending to yet another wonderful year. Plus CBS has renewed the show for another season. I love a good season finale!
