The How I Met Your Mother Blog

A good write up concerning HIMYM from NY Mag’s Vulture column talks about why the show is just recently gaining “success” on the network.

The fact remains that HIMYM is the No. 13 show in all of TV with viewers under 50 and one of two anchors holding up the Eye’s Monday night comedy block, not to mention the youngest-skewing show on the network’s entire schedule (HIMYM‘s average viewer is 44; the median age of a typical CBS viewer is 55).

It’s nice to see the show finally settling into some modicum of “success”. Remember the early years when we’d be nail-biting while the studio let the show sit on bubble at the end of each season? We knew it had what it takes. Nice to see it get recognized.

Let me guess, this is old news too?

On Thursday HYMT broke 10,000 comments. Lucky #10,000 was Stevo commenting on Architect of Destruction:

Yes, I think you are right. That episode Homewreckers wasn’t a flash forward from the story at the time, so as of right now in season 6, Ted owns the house, but hasn’t yet gotten together with the mother.

Also, I have read the few links on this thread and how Jennifer Morrisons characters is a significant addition to the show, but as of right now she is married, as she told Ted in this episode. I am interested in how she affects the story.

I want to thank you all for participating to make this such a great community. This site is as much yours as mine. With such good participation and the writing on the wall telling me you guys have interests outside of HIMYM I’m pleased to announce something I’ve been working on for awhile that I hope you’ll all enjoy. More on that soon.

TV.com reports that we’ll see our second Halloween themed episode of How I Met Your Mother this year. Strangely, it won’t be next week but on Nov 1, the day after Halloween.

The show loves their holiday episodes, and I love them too. The original Halloween episode is a season one classic and the Christmas episode is one of my favorites. What do you guys think about this? I think Jennifer Morrison is back, might she go dressed as a certain pumpkin with perverted proclivity?

Where’s the new post button? What’s my admin password? What’s the website again? Oh yeah, I remember how to do this now…

Hey guys and gals, how’s your summer vacation so far? Having fun? How much fun? As much fun as it must be for Bays, Thomas, and the cast to be nominated for BEST EFFING COMEDY SERIES? (That’s the oft-forgotten full title of the award. True Story.)

It’s true, after years of shunning, HIMYM finally gets the nomination it deserves. I’m not going to lie, it’s up against some stiff competition. Nominees:

• How I Met Your Mother – Woot!
• Entourage – I’m a big fan, though I’m still pulling for HIMYM
• The Office – Past it’s peak, IMO, still good but not as good as it used to be.
• 30 Rock - Eh, it’s good, and it’s cool to love it, but I prefer HIMYM because it’s story AND funny.
• Weeds – Who cares. OK, a lot of people, just not me.
• Flight of the Conchords – Couldn’t get through this season. Too weird for its own good.
• Family Guy – Would be historic, which is cool, but still not as good as HIMYM

What do you guys think? Does it have a chance? I think so. What do you think? Oh yeah, NPH is hosting and it airs September 20 on CBS. Tune in! Or don’t, that shit is long and you can just read the winners on twitter (where you can follow me here.)
