Don’t miss the season 2 finale “Something Blue” airing tonight on CBS. If you’re new to the show, this is as good a place to start as any. For die-hard fans, it’s even more exciting. Months ago when this episode first aired we were left with a “legend” of a cliffhanger. It seemed like next Monday would never come. But now when we watch Ted say “I do” to Barney’s bachelor proposal tonight, we have only seven short days to wait for the next new episode.

No, Neil Patrick Harris didn’t win, which would have been legendary, but the show still took an award for Best Art Direction for a Multi-Camera Series. I’m glad to see the sets and details of the show, which are so nicely thought out, get the praise they deserve. For all you other detail-people out there, you know what I’m talking about—from the wardrobe to the Chinese Checkers board game on the wall—this show always brings visual appeal, even if they do reuse sets from time to time.

We’ve heard a lot about the crazy single antics that Ted will have going out to pick up women with Barney this season now that he and Robin have split. What do you think will happen with her? Will she date around and will we meet all of her new beaus? We already know she brings someone back from South America. Will her love life get equal screen time with Ted’s? What do you think?

Neil Patrick Harris narrates Beverly Cleary books for children. My local library has them and there’s at least one happy customer.

Think Scherbatsky is a strange name? How about Jacoba Fransisca Maria Smulders.

CBS posted a rather odd promo for How I Met Your Mother this week.

It’s kind of ingenious, and quite different then you’d expect for a sitcom promo. What do you think?

The Barnicle isn’t the only one with a new How I Met Your Mother promo. CBS has video from Marshall and Lily’s honeymoon. It’s pretty great. Watch them in the hotel room that isn’t what they expected. Watch them at Lock Ness looking for Nessy. Find out why the Scotch in Scotland is so good.

You can take away our lives, but you can’t take away our honeymoon!

“It’s dark in there, here, take a lantern”

Neil Patrick Harris appears in an episode of the strange web show Powerloafing w/ Cubicle Carl at Super Deluxe.

This is a very odd. If it wasn’t for Harris, I’d write this off as yet another silly Internet show. I’d love to know how he got hooked up with this.

It’s funny to see Harris in a crappy, department store dress shirt after being so used to Barney Stinson’s tailored suits.

Also, is it just me or does it sound like he has a slight Canadian accent? Aboot?
