The How I Met Your Mother Blog

So it’s finally here, the season five premiere. I thought this day would never come. Here I am stuck late at work. That means I might watch it live, but it means I probably won’t post about it till tomorrow. Regular readers know I always give you a place to discuss the episode in real time before I post my recap however. A preview of what we’ll see tonight:

• When the gang finds out that Barney and Robin are hesitant to define their relationship, Lily forces them to confront their biggest fear…becoming boyfriend/girlfriend. It seems Barney isn’t too keen on changing any of his vices despite being with Robin.
• Meanwhile, Ted is anxious about teaching his first lecture at Columbia and decides to release his inner douche much to the chagrin of his students
• Joe Manganiello returns as Brad
• We meet the mother

OK, I was just kidding with the last one. Just making sure you guys are paying attention.

I promise I’ll get the recap up ASAP but do leave comments here if you’ve watched and are dying to discuss. Remember, tonight’s episode is at 8p, not 8:30 like last year.

TVGuide has posted their predictions for the emmy results. They seem confident that NPH will take the prize. As far as How I Met Your Mother winning best comedy?

DARK HORSE: CBS has proven itself the king of the traditional sitcom, so if there is an upset, I’d look for Mother to steal the prize.

What do you guys think? Open discussion: what other shows would you like to see win?

T-minus 6 days till season 5 premieres, btw. Are you excited? I’m excited.

I was sent this on Friday but I’ve had a big weekend. Got my wallet and phone stolen. No fun. There is that donate button

Here we see How I Met Your Mother envisioned as a film noir. Robin as the femme fatale, Barney as the renegade cop, Ted as the troubled thug. Inspired by the remix of The Shining, CBS’s EyeLab cut this together. I love it. My favorite part is the “Columbia Broadcasting System” and CBS zoom in the end, really nice vintage touch. Enjoy!

I recommend you watch it on youtube in the HD version, it’s pretty.
