Don't worry, the old format isn't going anywhere, this was just because of the time crunch.

I'll watch just to get my fix, and prepare for that nights ep. I think it's funny at the end of the ad the guy goes, "Lifetime, yes Lifetime!" because they know people don't put funny and lifetime together.

Lifetime?!

Don't get me wrong, that's great and all. I won't be watching, seeing as I don't have cable…..

But Lifetime? Barney's like the most misogynistic character on TV!!

Sorry, I didn't notice that . Finally, I've been waiting for a long time! I like the old format better but according to polish proverb "lepszy rydz ni? nic" (this can be translated as "better something than nothing"), thank you for all your work on this blog!

I just did! It's not the usual format, but my thoughts on Little Minnesota are up over here: http://have-you-met-ted.com/2008/season-4-episode...

Sorry for off-topic, but when we can expect your recap for 4×11?

Oh I have all the dvds and I have every episode (including this season) downloaded so I can watch on my laptop/360 and will still be watching it if I catch it on tv…..even if it is on Lifetime. There is no such thing as too much HIMYM

More agreeing, it's arguably the only show I somehow never manage to be burned out on. I'll be watching.

I love Season 1, so I don't see a problem with it. I do like how Lifetime needs to reassure us that the show is premiering on Lifetime and not some other channel.

edit: Oh god, the syndication cuts! What will they excise for more ad time, or are these episodes short enough now for standard syndication purposes? IIRC, Season 1 eps were allowed to run to about 22 minutes, which is a lot of time nowadays.

Not always. Scrubs has an example of this. They got a version of the Cheers theme to be played once. The original airing and that is it.

I don't live in the US, but here in Australia HIMYM is rerunning every night at 7 (we're still midway through S1) over the summer, and I don't bother watching it. I've seen it on DVD a couple of times, and when you're not drunk (or at least tipsy) a lot of season 1 is just….well, not "bad" per se, but like JD said, "rough around the edges". It gets much better towards the end, of course, and I might make more of an effort to watch reruns once they start on seasons 2 and 3, which are way better.

I guarantee you it will be songs from the tv airing, not the DVD. Thats the way it works with syndication- case and point, Dawson's Creek.

And duh, I will watch HIMYM. It sucks its on lifetime though. I wish it was C.Central, or even Fox Family…err. ABC Family.

And that doesn't even look like Lilly in that graphic

It's going to be weird seeing it on Lifetime…but how can I resist? If it's on tv I'll be watching! lol
I also have all the seasons on dvd, and they are constantly in my dvd player, but I'll still be watching haha.
can't you tell how much I love this show?

On the DVD that's the same, but I think it's because the joke was so deep, they had to pay for licensing.

Man I agree about the type. The type for lifetime is a straight up mess!

Yeah……the video says full hour…..?

That's actually an interesting point. I wonder if the original music will be in the re-aired episodes or if it'll be the DVD tracks. We'll have to wait and see.

I have it on Dvd, so I won't watch it.

Two reasons why I won't watch. #1 – I have the DVDs. Can get my HIMYM fix anytime I want! #2 – I don't think I can get the Lifetime Network in Canada.

Don't forget HIMYM had the Cheers theme too- Swarley!

I don't know about the rest of the country, but here in Chicago they aired "Slapsgiving." I believe that next week is a rerun as well. The next episode "Benefits" airs Monday January 5th at 8:30/7:30c.

I have all three seasons on DVD and every episode from this season saved in my TiVo, so there's no need to watch reruns.

I´ve just dowloaded season 01! I love the episode Game Night… With the hippie Barney!
But, why are they re-airing those episodes anyway
