ok..so i actually haven’t watched this episode (and won’t) and i have to say i feel a lot better than i did the last couple of weeks after a sucky episode.
so, high hoper, i recommend you stop watching new episodes not for some you-bring-me-down-reason but ’cause i think it’s going to work really well for me, too.
also, i started rewatching the old one and, man, it feels good to have the great versions of these characters back!

Edit: Why the hell does this comment format destroy my good grammar by erasing capitals? It takes my credibility away from being in front of my students!

Because NPH directed it I think he probably chose to be focused less in this episode… I mean, if he’s IN the scene, it’s harder to view the scene from all angles right? Only makes sense. I thought he did a FANTASTIC job, the guy is so damn talented!!

I really enjoyed this episode, I even loved Ted so desperately wanting to be “cool” with his students that he offered to pay for the booze.

I often get stuck watching “Accidentally on Purpose” after this show. And I HATE it! Like it’s AWFUL! The jokes are stupid and predictable, the premise is lame and it has nothing interesting. If you think you didn’t like HIMYM, watch this garbage and you will be glad Carter and Craig have created such an awesome show that’s funny on multiple levels and closely mirrors many peoples lives. There’s NOTHING better than HIMYM at it’s best, and tonight was very good. Also, Amanda Peete is hot.

I love Marshall because I don’t think he owns a comb. You see his hair this entire episode, just a freaking mess, I don’t know how he walks around like that. I thought Robin had probably her best episode of the season, and she’s back a little bit to classic Robin. Lily punching out Jenkins at the end of the show was great too.

PS. I am also interested in Pierre McGuire’s drinking game. Does it revolve around the word “Monster” perhaps?

high hoper- i know you’re expecting this, but seriously, don’t watch. or at least don’t comment. himym isn’t a soap opera. it’s a sitcom. i felt great about the episode until i came over here to share and read your downer of a comment. the show can’t be nonstop development of the mother storyline; that would make it cease to be a comedy. just sayin’, i could definitely do without you trashing the show every week.

I loved this episode. But ummm. Classic.

NPH did direct it but it was still good despite the lack of barnyisms.

I’M FROM PELICAN RAPIDS!!!!!!!!!!!! That being said, does anybody know why they chose Pelican Rapids to be the city Jenkins is from? I’m just curious if there is a connection there somewhere…

i believe somebody previously posted saying that barney was directing this episode and would probably not be featured as much..if i remember correctly.

Well. I’m not awake because of the episode. I was studying for my exams , and decided to watch it to relax a little bit.

This is gonna be awkward, because, after last time I wrote here, I promised myself to stop writing for an undetermined period of time, but I cannot leave commenting this episode.

You know first I thought Burger episode was the worst of all series. Then Slapgiving2 was the worst for me.

Guess what? We have a wineer. Jenkins is possibly the worst episode of himym. And if they continue this way, I prefer not to imagine what we’ll have for season finale.

I really think about quitting the show for a time, cos IMHO it’s getting one of the dumbest and lamest series to watch.

Come on. Ted is not like that. Everyone knows it.
The episode? A complete filler, nothing to remember from it.
I did not laugh a single time. And it gets worse:
And it’s truly hard for the writers to make a non-barney episode… Really. Although Barney is not the main character, they changed the show so much that they don’t know what to do without getting Barney a major role.

Yes, I know what you are gonna say: “Stop watching and bla bla bla…”. I think I will. I don’t want to create a bad mood here. But I kinda feel himym has jumped the shark. Maybe I’ll tune for season finale. Although I maybe will continue watching without commenting, I think that, if I continue watching, is for not having 5 years of my life wasted on nothing. I really think they have buried 90% of what made Himym the best tv series for me in the past.

And the usual… Robin’s but um was a little funny at first, but it got boring towards the end. Amanda peet role? lame for me. Ted, as I said, was not and is not like he was today.

I’m gonna continue studying. I would say this episode was a total deception… But whole season 5 is being itself a deception, so never mind.
