Why Marshall and Lily Haven’t Moved Yet
Over at TVSquad they have a piece explaining why LAME (Lily Aldrin and Marshal Erickson, get it? Pass it on.) haven’t moved into their sweet Dowisetrepla co-op yet. Turns out I was right back when I said they were probably closing in the background of the last few episodes. The show does this alot—mentions one thing then doesn’t go back to it for awhile (ala Ted’s ass-antlers). Looks like the next new episode might bring back the co-op and some more LAME jokes. (editor’s note: zing!)
Now that Ted lives alone, how will it play out? I have a few ideas, then you guys vote and tell me which you like the best.
- Bachelor Pad – Ted lives alone, rents out the second bedroom to Barney, and the two of them ride the metaphorical 4×4 every weekend and alternating Wednesdays
- New Roommate – Ted can’t afford the place and has to find a roommate. This would make sense since I see so much of myself in Ted and I am going through that very process right now (ps, anyone in Manhattan looking for a place?) and it would thus follow the “This show is suspiciously close to my real life” axiom I’ve seen in the past. Plus, new main character. Maybe Wendy the Waitress? Or someone new altogether.
- The Odd Couple – Robin can’t afford her BK apartment and moves in with Ted. I know this is a long shot but come on, it would be awesome. That’s a lot of opportunity for hilarity. Plus, one thing leads to another and Robin invites Barney upstairs one night… I’m just saying.
So, what would you like to see?
What do you want to see happen with the apartment once Marshall and Lily move out?
PS. Sorry for going so long without posting. Things are crazy.

I really doubt there’ll be a new permanent roommate. There might be one for a one or two episode story arc but a new roommate means another primary character and the show is doing fine as it is.
As much as the Odd Couple thing has been done many times in sitcoms I’d like to see how HIMYM handles it.

LAME got me laughing
For a moment I thought you wouldn’t mention the odd couple, that has been my hope for the show since LAME moved out! But I agree with Dan that Ted might have a bad roommate for a couple of episodes, that should be fun.
and I keep my fingers crossed for RSS
(yeah, you heard me: Robin Scherbatsky Stinson)

The Odd Couple totally XD
I wouldn’t like a new roomate [well, if it's Brad maybe yes.] because as Dan said, the show is good with the 5 of them.
LAME…that’s awesome XD Hope the writters notice that and Ted, Robin and Barney make fun of them hehehe.

Robin marries Barney end of story – “dude, this isn’t news!”
It’d be really bad when we look back at the series overall, but wouldn’t it just get your goat to have a roommate that gets the “Blah blah” treatment?
I can just see “Craig,” Ted’s roomie, who is voiced, BUT IS NEVER SHOWN ON SCREEN. Even when he enters the room. The camera just doesn’t show him (the “Wilson” treatment from Home Improvement, only more severe I think).

@Steve, that’s a great idea! I think that concept really has some legs. I’m sure there’d be people that complained, but there always will be. There’s great potential there as well for hilarity.
@Angel, I should TM that name, before someone steals it from me. You’re my witness—you saw it here first.
