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?
