The show has talented actors and just enough comedy to make this show work. The Lifetime network understands how important this program is. CBS also understands how important this comedy is.This show is in a tough 8PM Mondays schedule.You have Dancing With the Stars and House MD.Yet this show stands its ground.Lifetime made the smart move.This show should do well in Lifetimes 2010 fall scedule How I met your mother continues to amaze me.After 5 years on CBS the writing for this show continues to be good.

And the fact there was a bidding war over who got to have it. I don’t think Lifetime is the best fit for HIMYM as many others have shared but…the pricetag is awesome.

Sure, it's by no means terrible money (considering that's how much lots of people get in a year!) but they'll definitely end up getting more money through syndication.

If Charlie Sheen gets $1 million an episode for a show that sells at $800K/ep. then surely this cast deserves more than the rumored $50K/ep. they get. I know 50K is insane money for a week's work but why should the studios get to keep all the swag? This cast would probably use that money to finance independent film projects instead of the hookers and coke that Charlie Sheen uses his cash for.
